ELECTION: Best path to the future

To those about to vote to a successful future of Coeur d’Alene. I have voted absentee (a great service to those of us elders and others for convenience of getting the job done if they can’t get to their poll that day). I don’t mind telling you who I voted for, only because I have people asking me my opinion of “who” each day from some source, because they know I follow who our leaders are, what they think and what they do. I am what is called a “political junkie.” I absolutely want to make the best decisions I can make with my one vote. It could be the winning vote … so everyone should vote.

I support Steve Widmyer for mayor because of his background in business, understanding of BUDGETS and ability to work with others. Kiki Miller for council is my choice. Her dedication for many years of community involvement and work gives her my vote. Amy Evans will bring youth and abounding energy to the good of the city — she received my vote. I choose to keep “Woody” McEvers because I have watched him on channel 19 for a long time and he brings a quiet voice, calm to really bad situations in discussion, and quietly brings answers pro and con from which a decision is then made.

Now, obviously should you think differently — that is your right — vote your conscience. Above all, PLEASE keep this election non-partisan. The City Council of Coeur d’Alene is a non-partisan entity as are school boards and persons elected to the non-partisan board of KMC.
