More Trashing CdA By Reagan Repubs

In case you're wondering whether Reagan Republicans have gone off deep end in demonizing Mayor Sandi Bloem and three council members targetted for recall, Jeff Ward calls for their ouster in his newsletter, concluding with "Now it seems the citizens of Coeur d'Alene must determine whether they are "disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable" or will they "right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." Seems to me that the same language can be used for the dysfunctional Kootenai County Republicans who brought controversial Richard Mack to town to speak to the GOP Lincoln Day Dinner and seem to oppose every project that improves Coeur d'Alene. (Note: Reagan Republicans opposed Mack's speech, so they get things right occasionally. But not this time.)
