McEUEN: Be better sports

How sad for the people of Coeur d’Alene that our city government has become so polarized and petty. The three council members who will not attend the groundbreaking for McEuen Park are like spoiled children who did not get their way and are “not playing with you anymore.”

In the recall vote the people of Coeur d’Alene responded and said we support the decision to move forward with McEuen Park. Our councilmembers are not always going to agree; that is what makes representative government so great. We need differing thoughts and opinions. We also need these people who are setting the path for our future to be able to work together for the good of all the people of Coeur d’Alene.

When our children play a competitive sport, at the end of the game the “winners” and “losers” form a line and shake hands saying “good game.” Should we expect any less from our elected officials?
