RE: Dan of the Community appreciate McHugh’s emotion /HucksOnline

Broadicea: Thanks for weighing in Christie. The incessant nit-picking at Barry McHugh is surprising. I’ve heard two different groups who are outraged that he hasn’t taken up their cause and it seems we might need remedial tutoring in what a Prosecuting Atty is tasked with. It’s not his job to keep Sandi Bloem from being a tad dictatorial, it’s his job to deal with criminal acts. The challenges he meets and the balancing act he maintains are monumental, all the while taking incoming rounds. Take a deep breath people and think about who his opponent is — a bit of a blowhard with zero criminal experience. This is an easy decision.

Question: Do you need a tutorial on the job functions of the Kootenai County prosecutor?
