Dems: Don’t Talk Govt Change Now

Not this way, and not right now, the Kootenai County Democratic Central Committee is advising the county commissioners. The KCDCC is urging the commissioners to forego their resolution to put an alternative form of county government on the November ballot, according to a resolution presented by Dan English at the commissioners’ business meeting on Tuesday. “Of all the variations you could come up with, I think this is one (form of government) that falls into the nuclear option, it’s so drastic,” said English, the Democratic committee’s precinct 5 chair, and former county clerk. “It would go off more like a dirty bomb, with discussion so hot, it would make discussion radioactive for years, so even good changes that could be presented in a rational way won’t even be talked about.” The KCDCC’s resolution states that the proposed form of government in the ballot measure would represent “the most substantial change in the history of Kootenai County governance”/ Alecia Warren , Coeur d’Alene Press.
