CALIFORNIA: Just back off

How sad that Mr. McAdams, President of the Garden District, is allowed to continue to spread manure on people he chooses to profile as outsiders. The Coeur d’Alene Press has pushed this anti-California agenda for years while doing everything it can to attract out of state visitors. This is a classic example of intolerance of others based on where they “might” be from.

Time for Mr. McAdams, the Coeur d’Alene Press and Coeur d’Alene to grow up. Coeur d’Alene isn’t the same old tiny town it used to be, and it never will be again. Tourists from out-of-state feed a lot of local families. Time to quit attacking them while they pay your mortgage.
