Press: Local civility deserves an A

In the Wednesday editorial, the Coeur d’Alene Press comments:

If all the Washington infighting is giving you headaches by day and nightmares when you should be sleeping peacefully, we have a suggestion.

While we should never expect nor want complete agreement in local government - only differing views respectfully expressed lead to effective change - it’s kind of nice when our local politicians rise well above their federal counterparts.

But we’re not going in that direction today. Instead, we’re focusing on home, where peace and quiet generally prevail. More here.
