Sims Blasts NIC For Ed Corridor Buy

In a recent My Turn column for the Coeur d’Alene Press, Kathy Sims (pictured), who will replace George Sayler as a House District 4 rep in January, writes: “The current NIC Board of Trustees has made great plans but in their haste to see their dreams fulfilled they seem to have forgotten a pending lawsuit that challenges the Constitutionality of their actions. I stand ready to represent this community in reminding the Board that the exorbitant price they paid for the land purchase wasn’t their money. The College, the NIC Foundation and the City of Coeur d’Alene appear to have cooperated with an irregular appraisal and an unseemly rush to zone it C17 (commercial for what?). The appraiser is a business partner with an NIC Board member who also sits on the Board of Mountain West Bank.” More here .

Question: Can you imagine a state representative for the city of Coeur d’Alene who doesn’t see the value of the Education Corridor?
