McCrory Unhappy With Press Editorial

I’m still trying to figure out the contempt that OpenCDA-dot-Com has for the Coeur d’Alene Press. I thought the Press played things as close to the middle as possible during the failed recall attempt. But Bill McCrory takes after the Press again this week for the Sunday editorial (“Clarify rules for recall”) advocating clarification of state recall laws (which you’d think OpenCDA-dot-Com would endorse). Instead, McCrory lambastes the Press (“the propaganda machine of Hagadone Corporation”) for being, ahem, MIA during the “the illegal conduct of the 2009 Coeur d’Alene City election.” Mr. Bill wonders where the Press was in the 2009 election (which survived legal review) and then answers his own question: “Hiding under the beds with some District Court judges, Secretary of State Ben Ysursa, Kootenai County Clerk Dan English and Kootenai County Prosecutor Barry McHugh who did not want anyone understanding  just how FUBAR Idaho’s election administration laws were.  Today, those same laws are SUSFU.  And that’s exactly the way the aforementioned Press and officials like them.” McCrory claims the Press editorial is particularly “insidious” because “it wants to amend Idaho’s Constitution and statutes to limit the people’s ability to recall elected officials.” You can read the whole rant here.

Question: Would you like to see Idaho recall laws loosened to make it easier to recall elected officials?
