Critic: Commish MIA On Comp Plan

The truth is that absent Todd Tondee’s participation, neither of the other “concerned” commissioners ever did anything to direct the process, participate in a vision, write the document, research the land use principles or engage in dialog with the P & Z Commission for all three years that I served. They certainly asked no questions of us even when the P & Z Commission insisted on briefing them as to our progress. To add insult to injury, Mr. Currie now ruminates that he “doesn’t want to end up in court because of this plan.” Well, sir, I tried to give you case law, statutes and opinions from local attorneys, (including myself who has practiced law for 25 years and, I may add, is no dummy) and you could have cared less/ Kathlene Kolts , former county planning commissioner, in letter to Coeur d’Alene Press.

Question: Do you consider it significant that the current board of Kootenai County commissioners have been unable or unwilling to update the comprehensive plan?
