Edinger Has Taken No Stand On Recall

Huckleberries was asked moments ago whether Councilman Ron Edinger has taken a stand re: recall. He has. Sorta. He doesn't like it. But didn't come right out and say he was against the recall. This is what was printed in Coeur d'Alene Press last week. Edinger said "he's disappointed in the depth of disagreement leading to a recall attempt but doesn't regret bringing the McEuen Field debate to meetings repeatedly. 'I'm very disappointed this is happening in Coeur d'Alene," he said. "This council and I have worked together on many issues, agreeing and disagreeing. McEuen is a very polarizing issue and many in our community, I think, feel strongly about this. This has caused a definite split in our community.'" Full story here.

Question: Will Edinger's legacy be affected by his seemingly neutral stand on the recall?
