VOTE: Macomber, Cheatham, Green, Bingham

I was shocked when reading the story “North Idaho Voter Project seeks to address turnout.” The article shows that the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and it’s agents have no problem funding and supporting certain Candidates. As a Board Member of NWPOA I am very concerned.

Half of Montana’s water is now controlled by the Tribes and Federal government there through the CSKT Compact. They heavily lobbied (funded) the Montana Establishment and when the day came to vote the Legislature voted with the Tribe. Now cities and citizens are going bankrupt through excessive water rates and lower water allotments.

Is this their plan for Kootenai County? Luke Malek has been a friend to the Tribe since the beginning of our water adjudication process here. The NWPOA has hired an Attorney to fight for the citizens of Kootenai County to protect our water from having the same thing happen here as in Montana. Now they are openly financing Luke and Peter Riggs, both friends of our Establishment Governor and also $1,000 to Ben Wolfinger too. (According to sunshine reports.)

It is critical that we vote against these candidates and for those who will protect our Property and Water Rights before we lose them!

Vote on May 17 for Art Macomber (a property rights attorney), Don Cheatham (who has been in the fight with us), John Green (would be a Constitutional Sheriff) and especially Bob Bingham (for Commissioner) who has worked tirelessly in fighting for our property rights and founding the NWPOA.
