Wanted: ignite cda transparency

Note from Coeur d’Alene Press editor: Ignite cda’s public hearing on its 2016 fiscal year budget is today at 4 p.m. in the Coeur d’Alene Library Community Room. The public is invited to attend.

Tens of thousands of tax dollars don’t buy much goodwill when the public is treated like a pain in the tax increment. In a letter to the editor Sunday, Coeur d’Alene resident Amy Lyons expressed her frustration with ignite cda — Coeur d’Alene’s urban renewal agency, formerly known as Lake City Development Corp. - when her request for specific information about the agency’s proposed budget was given the runaround. Amy learned something The Press and others, including City Councilman Dan Gookin, have known for a long time. LCDC/ignite cda is the region’s most reluctant public body when it comes to real transparency/Coeur d’Alene Press Editorial Board. More here.

Question: Do you consider transparency a problem for ignite cda?
