Mary: ‘Intimidation Has Got To Stop!’

In her Coeur d’Alene Press column this morning , Mary Souza begins by exclaiming: “Intimidation in this town has got to stop! I’ve heard stories galore detailing the long history of harassment and cronyism in this city, and it is well past time for these deplorable methods to end.” She then zeroes in on her favorite punching bags: LCDC, Charlie Nipp, Sandi Bloem, Mike Kennedy and the City Council. After reciting Charlie’s alleged sins of omission, she tells of the cold reception she received when she asked for his resignation at a recent council meeting. Then, this: “It wasn’t until I sat down and could no longer respond that they started to attack citizens, by name, for speaking out. Councilman Ron Edinger sarcastically reprimanded us, saying we were ‘out of place.’ Councilwoman Goodlander accused us of ‘character assassination,’ though no one had said a word against Mr. Nipp’s character.” Mary didn’t mention if any of her allies were filming the council reaction for a possible YouTube video this election season.

Question: Who’s intimidating whom in this town?
