SCHOOL: Don't be fooled, voters

| May 14, 2013 10:13 AM

Dirty tricks have no place in school board elections. It was a new low when Balance North Idaho illegally squatted on the name rights to Regan, Seddon and Handeen in the Cd’A Press online to solicit money. Every time one of their names was in the Cd’A Press online paper, a link was made sending readers to the “balanced” group for donations.

Fortunately, the Coeur d’Alene Press responsibly ended this unethical and possibly illegal practice. Beware of school board candidates supported by Balance North Idaho as this group is off balance and has gone off the deep end. Do not take the plunge with this group. If you don’t like dirty tricks, don’t reward them with your vote.

Say “no” to dirty politics, vote Regan, Seddon and Handeen on May 21. They do not condone or deal in dirty tricks and neither do you.
