Confirmed: Habitat, Brannon Part Ways

Huckleberries has confirmed that Habitat for Humanity and Executive Director Jim Brannon parted ways this morning. Rick Shipman, president of the agency’s board of directors, told the Spokesman-Review tonight that Brannon’s position was eliminated. Brannon, of course, is also a candidate for the City Council seat now held by Councilman Mike Kennedy. Brannon and Kennedy debated last night in a forum for Coeur d’Alene City Council and mayoral candidates. Huckleberries contacted Brannon at his Habitat for Humanity office for a comment earlier today. Brannon refused to say anything other than: “No comment.”
