Faulkner: Vendettas Fuel Recall

The basis for the recall effort started as personal vendettas against people who happened to be elected officials. By tying the recall to McEuen Park, a small group of people who have historically been against virtually every improvement in the past 10 years have been able to attack the future of our city. I encourage each of you who have signed to look closely at the names on the first page of the petition. Many of those names are people I know personally. I challenge you to go to Jim Doty, Kathy Sims, Sharon Culbreth, Susie Snedaker and Mary Souza and ask them point blank, “What are your real reasons for promoting the recall?” If each answers truthfully, you will hear stories of personal anger directed towards the mayor and two members of the City Council, not for political or civic reasons, but personal. Ask City Councilman Dan Gookin where he stands and whom he believes is behind the recall action and why. He has been at the core of many objections to the city shared by those above. Many citizens believe that he is now behind the scenes orchestrating the recall/ Marlo Faulkner , Coeur d’Alene Press My Turn. More here.
