Mary Warns Of City Alcohol Tweak

In her latest newsletter, Mary Souza takes aim at a slight change in city code which she fears makes it possible for Coeur d’Alene police to cite individuals who have alcoholic beverages, opened or unopened, on public property. Which, of course, would be a problem, if Mary is analyzing this correctly. Who wants to be cited for inadvertently carrying an unopened six-pack of beer of bottle of wine across a public right of way in front of your house. No where does Mary say that she bothered to contact Mayor Sandi Bloem, city staff, or a council member to see if she is interpreting the slight change correctly. Also, Mary goes onto gush that the Tea Party movement of which she’s an organizer is having an impact. And she issued a call to arms to her followers to join her at 10:45 a.m. Sunday at the corner of 19th & Sherman to be part of the 4th of July Parade. You’ve been warned. Souza newsletter here .

Question: Are you going to participate in the annual 4th of July Parade?
