Habitat: Brannon Layoff Not Political
Item: Habitat board says firing not politically motivated: Supporters of Jim Brannon continue to question motives /Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d’Alene Pres
More Info: Fiscal motives, not political ones, were the only reasons the former Habitat for Humanity of North Idaho executive director was fired, the Habitat board maintained this week. Rick Shipman, Habitat chair, elaborated on the financial shortfalls the nonprofit organization is facing that led to the termination of former executive director and City Council candidate Jim Brannon. Meanwhile, some political supporters of Brannon continue to question the motives behind firing an aspiring politician who ran his campaign speaking against a pair of politically sensitive Lake City topics: More fiscal responsibility inside City Hall and keener oversight of its urban renewal board, Lake City Development Corp.
Question: What do you make of this story, coming a week after the fact and repeating most of the same material from the original one re: Brannon’s layoff?
