OfCoffee: Don’t Worry Re: Recall Suit

OfCoffee (RE: Huckleberries hears … that Cliff Hayes & Barry McHugh will sue Coeur d’Alene over recall date ): I visited with Barry yesterday. The suit is not designed to take sides - it is simply forcing a court decision on the 15 days in question. The SOS decision was not “solid” and was worded to the effect of “you have a defensible position” which means the other side also has a “defensible position.” It’s better to get a judgement now than it is to wait until the 15 days starts and then have the Recall group sue at that point. Barry’s suit protects Cliff and Susan from last minute challenges. And (if I may pontificate) this is where the magic of this blog breaks down. People begin throwing judgements and opinions around before getting the real facts. DFO - I’m sure if you would have called Barry to get the details, you would have saved yourself some angst.

DFO: Didn’t get my tip until after closing time last night. But you can imagine how the anti-recall side would be suspicious of a move by the county to become involved in the recall.

Thoughts?
