State of County given in 3 acts

Kootenai County’s three commissioners took very different approaches Tuesday when giving their State of the County presentations.

Each of the three commissioners was allotted time to speak to the more than 150 people in attendance at the luncheon at the Best Western Plus Coeur d’Alene Inn, beginning with Commissioner Marc Eberlein.

Eberlein, the only commissioner to have served previously on the board, highlighted the county’s comprehensive financial report. According to Eberlein, the county has no outstanding debt and has been able to increase wages for county employees alongside budgeting for facility improvements and construction/ Keith Cousins , Coeur d’Alene Press.
