A quote in Friday’s Press from Thursday night’s candidate forum was misattributed. The following quote came from Rathdrum City Council incumbent Debbie Holmes, not her opponent, Steven Adams:

“What I can tell you about urban renewal is, we don’t tax the taxpayers. We give a break to the builders, but we don’t raise taxes on our citizens. In fact, we have a great project that’s going on that will bring more jobs, increase the tax base and, if it’s done right ... it can be — I’m not saying it absolutely does — but it can mean property owners will actually enjoy lower levy rates. If it’s done right, if the project doesn’t drag on, and we close it in a timely manner, it can work.”
