Susan Checks Suspect Copy Machine

Breaking! HucksOnline has received this exclusive photo of Coeur d'Alene City Clerk Susan Weathers pointing out features of the copy machine that will scan the Souza-Orzell-Sims Overthrow Movement's petitions to recall Mayor Sandi Bloem and the better half of the City Council. You don't see anyone in the photo because Huckleberries hears that no one got with 4 or 5 feet of it. Looks like a copy machine to me. Yep. Probably copies things, too. Still waiting for county clerk's office to show a little openness re: this process. For example, it might be time for County Clerk Cliff Hayes to release the names of those part-time helpers that will verify signatures next week.

Mike Kennedy: "Do you think the RecallCDA people know that I was the manager who opened the Kinko’s Copies (now Fedex Office) here in Coeur d’Alene back in 1993? And that as a result I can clear jams with the best of them? This will DEFINITELY add intrigue to the grand conspiracy in this whole thing. I can also say that on at least one occasion I have personally used that copier machine to make copies of a city document that I needed to copy for a meeting. Enter Starr Kelso… (HBO: Let the dot-connecting begin)

Question: Do you think the City Hall copy machine is capable of scanning copies of the Souza-Orzell-Sims petitions? Or has it been compromised in some way? You can tell from here, right?
