KEA: Uninformed Dis Plan Rewrite

On the KEA Blog, executive Terry Harris writes: “Just as Kootenai County gets on with the long-overdue business of re-writing the dysfunctional land use codes, the chronic malcontents have indeed crawled out from under their rocks to wail about their property rights and to attempt to derail an important process. Unfortunately, their lack of concern for everyone else’s property rights illustrates how misguided they actually are. In a hysterical email that was widely circulated, several local residents are stirring up opposition to the County code revision process. The email circulated by Coeur d’Alene resident Leah Southwell opens with “If you care about Freedom & Property Rights and you live in Kootenai County, wake up!” And in the Coeur d’Alene Press article about the controversy, local representative Kathy Sims (pictured) is quoted as saying ‘We’ve got to be very, very careful we don’t lose our private property rights.’” More here.
