Park manager targets Malek

The manager of the Greyhound Park and Event Center in Post Falls has formed a new political action committee that is specifically targeting one Republican legislative candidate in the May 17 primary. “The new PAC is for independent expenditures,” said Doug Okuniewicz. “Most of that money is directed at Luke Malek.” Malek, R-Coeur d’Alene, is running for re-election for Seat 4A in the Idaho House of Representatives. His challenger in the Republican primary is Art Macomber. Okuniewicz said his PAC, Committee for Principled Government, is targeting Malek primarily because he works as an attorney for the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, which was responsible for introducing legislation to ban historic racing machines in the 2015 legislative session/ Jeff Selle , Coeur d’Alene Press.
