Edinger: Love Him, Love Him Not

Yabetcha: My wife was going through an old box of photos today lined with newspaper and staring up at us from the bottom of the box was a September 6, 1977 CDA Press news page with a picture of Mayor Ron Edinger and Dixie Reid soaking their feet in the water course & fountain at Independence Point. The city was awarded a first place in a statewide parks beautification project. He looked on his game then and is still on his game today. Don’t sell him short. The “Old Dog” knows a few tricks yet.

  • Eagle Eye: The old dog has been on the council too long. Its time for some fresh thinking at City Hall.

Question: Is Councilman Ron Edinger's tenure on the Coeur d'Alene City Council, dating back to the 1960s, an asset or a liability? In other words, has he been on the council too long? Or not long enough?
