City Mulls Suit Against Reagan R’s

More Info: A political group is circulating a campaign flier declaring the city of Coeur d’Alene responsible for Jim Brannon’s job loss. The flier’s authors, the Kootenai County Reagan Republicans, say they don’t have any proof on the claim, but they’re entitled to their opinions. The city denied the allegations and said it’s a claim too serious to pass as run-of-the-mill campaign literature. “It’s one thing to discuss differences in government, or politics, and put issues on the table with differences in opinions” said Mayor Sandi Bloem. “It’s a whole other thing to make an accusation of this kind. It’s very serious, very serious.”

Question: Should the city seek legal action against Reagan Republicans for circulating the dubious statement that it is responsible for Jim Brannon’s firing? Or let it go?
