Regan Disses ‘Freshly Minted’ Cons

On his Facebook site , appointed Coeur d’Alene School Board Trustee Brent Regan comments re: being well received at the Kootenai County GOP Central Committee last night. The evening started with a legislative update via teleconference. Then, Regan posts, “T he five solid conservatives (not the freshly minted ones) running for Trustee positions were graciously given time to address the committee. Ann Seddon, Glorie Ward, Carol Goodman, Bjorn Handeen and I were all warmly received.” Seems that Regan is inferring that his School Board opponent Christa Hazel is “freshly minted.” As someone who has known Christa since her days as a North Idaho College student body officer, I’d say that Christa was active in the local GOP long before some of the activists at the levers of control of the local GOP machine were even living in this state.

Question (for Brent Regan): What’s your definition of a conservative?
