RECALL: Some have much to gain

What a surprise, the Downtown Association supporting the mayor and council members. Of course they are, what a waste of money advertising that fact. Hope it wasn’t LCDC money paying for the ad! The mayor and council are spending millions of our tax dollars to build a flashy park in the downtown area. Do you think the Downtown Association might gain from this?

Another surprise, the Fire Fighters Union is supporting the mayor and council. The Fire Chief is one of Coeur d’Alene’s highest paid city employees, like $112,000 a year, and all the city employees received a pay raise last year. How many of you did? Who do you think they’d support?

Dr. Riggs supports the mayor and council. Gee another surprise. He owns a downtown business and he’s on the Kroc Center Advisory Board. How much taxpayer money went into the building of the Kroc Center? I think it was $500,000, or was it more? How many other health clubs in Coeur d’Alene received LCDC money? Do you think any of these supporters have personal interest in supporting the mayor and council members? I’ll give you a hint, yes.
