Is Sims A Shoo-In For Legislature?

Is Republican Kathy Sims flying so much under the radar that she’s an odds-on favorite to win the House District 4 seat now held by retiring Rep. George Sayler, D-Coeur d’Alene? Astute political observer Randy Stapilus thinks so here. I doubt that people will connect the dots. Three years ago, Sims was part of a nasty, last-minute attack on Coeur d’Alene City Council incumbents Ron Edinger, Al Hassell, and Dixie Reid. Then, she fought the city tooth-and-nail for a year before finally agreeing to pay a fine and admit that she’d filed an inaccurate campaign finance report for the organization that she formed with Tom Macy to make the attack.
