BRUNING: What's right with city

Political rhetoric has reached a new low in Coeur d'Alene. On Oct. 6 the Coeur d'Alene Press quoted City Council candidate Steve Adams as saying our City Council has done "nothing correct." Really? Nothing? The Kroc Center, the new public library and education corridor infrastructure are all mistakes? He would have voted "no" for these projects? Even "single stream recycling" was a bad decision? What could possibly drive a person to make such an outlandish statement?

When combined with his false claims regarding the financial status of the education corridor and our city being overstaffed by nearly 100 employees, we see a very troubling pattern emerge.

Mr. Adams seems to have a total disregard for accurate information and an inability to restrain himself from saying foolish things. These are not the traits of an effective leader.

Our city deserves better, and in the race for Seat 5 John Bruning is by far the best candidate.
