CdA: A Monopoly Or Public Service?

Reagan Republican: It’s like all the boards, foundations and public corporations in Coeur d’Alene think the city is a big game of Monopoly. One group buys some property then trades to another then leases it to another. I don’t know how they keep it all straight and know who actually owns what.

Christie Wood: RR what you call Monopoly I call collaboration, sharing of resources, and non duplication of services in order to better serve the taxpayer. You have a pretty active imagination in accusing local CDA residents that serve on elected boards of wanting to take over the world. People who chose to serve their community on boards, committees, commissions etc. are the usually dedicated community members that are willing to devote their personal time to community causes. I am not saying there are never people elected with a underlying agenda but they are not the norm. Most importantly all of us are not connected in some sinister way. We are citizens and taxpayers just like you.

Question: Which opinion above re: a vision of Coeur d’Alene most closely represents yours?
