Forum: Dan Green Impresses

I came away from Kootenai County commissioner forum very impressed with incumbent Dan Green (pictured). The county has been in good hands since he was elected to office. Spencer did a decent job, although it seems that the thrust of his campaign is to oppose the land-use plan. He said several times that Green was doing an excellent job managing other areas of the county. Holmes had the guts to say that eventually the county would have to bite the bullet and expand the jail. But I wasn’t overly impressed with the rest of his presentation. I suppose he’s going to pull votes from Green. Spencer’s running hard with a lot of campaign money available. The 30-day financial disclosure statements should be due soon. It’ll be interesting to see where that money’s coming from. My guess? Lakeshore owners -- DFO.

Question: Who do you favor in the race for incumbent Dan Green's Kootenai County commission seat?
