Daniel In The Lions Den

Commissioner Dan Green, left, and Sheriff Ben Wolfinger listen to a question during a meeting of the Kootenai County Reagan Republicans last evening at the Avondale Golf Club. The two men were pitching ideas to expand county jail space, one week after a 1st District Court judge rejected a proposed contract with a private company for leased space. Some Reagan Republicans criticized the commissioners and sheriff for seeking judicial confirmation rather than a public vote for more space. Green and Wolfinger addressed the North Idaho Pachyderm Club this morning. (Photo: Duane Rasmussen)
