Randy Myers: "I thought about a comment made by Keith Erickson here about a candidate (Amber Copeland) being a "one issue " candidate. It occurred to me that Keith is wrong on two counts. First about the candidate he spoke of and secondly about McEuen being one issue. MCeuen is a very complex set of issues that has become stereotyped as "McEuen." It exists as a symbol at one level of how this community is seen and wishes to be seen. At another level it represents old Cd'A transitioning into new Cd'A. The attempt at removing the boat launch, the removal of the ball fields and the splash pad nest to the lake all exemplify this. The expenditure of massive taxpayer dollars to upgrade a park is a huge issue in itself. The involvement of LCDC as an URD makes many question how URDs should operate. More here.

Question: Randy does a superb job of breaking down the complex "McEuen Field" issue. Do you see now how it could be more than one issue in minds of many Coeur d'Alene residents?
