Rep. Heather Scott to lead class

BONNERS FERRY — Heather Scott, District 1 state representative, will be in Bonners Ferry on Thursday, July 9, to conduct a “civics class” with representatives from the Center for Self-Governance.

Scott’s recent visit to Bonners Ferry was May 21 when she spoke to a standing-room-only crowd, inside the Bonners Ferry Providence Presbyterian Church. During that event, Scott was sponsored by the John Birch Society to speak about the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The July 9 event will cover topics such as what it means to be a citizen of Boundary County and the United States. The presenters plan to speak on understanding power, control, and government and how citizens may be more effective in governance.

“I will also make time after the class to delve into county/state structure, discuss the current recall process (commissioners and governor) and answer any other questions about engaging with the government that might be helpful,” said Scott.

The class is from 4:40 to 8:30 p.m. at the Bonners Ferry VFW Hall, 6635 Lincoln St. Cost is $50. Register at centerforselfgovernance.com.
