Assessor buzz cuts

Kootenai County Assessor Mike McDowell and Residential Appraiser Manager Darin Krier took one for the team Tuesday morning by following through with the pledge to shave their heads, mustaches and beard if $1,500 was raised for a good cause. Gary Logsdon took an early retirement as a residential appraiser due to a medical condition, with months until disability pay will kick in.  McDowell and Krier raised $1,600 and earlier this month, Deputy Assessor Rich Houser raised $1,045 and received a buzz cut.
