LIBRARY: Vote for Fish, Veale

| April 28, 2021 1:00 AM

There are two seats open in the election for the Community Library Network. The current Board has reduced tax increases over the past four years and did not increase taxes during this 2021 budget year, for the first time in 30 years, demonstrating their fiscal conservative bonafides. So why is the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) opposing the two incumbents, Bob Fish and Michele Veale?

It seems that candidates were interviewed by the KCRCC and asked about a particular book. When the candidates answered that they would not ban any books, the KCRCC in their infinite wisdom decided that they needed to be removed from office. So this is the position of the KCRCC — ban books we don’t like or be opposed by all Republicans! If the KCRCC is adamantly in favor of book banning, can book burning be far behind?

Support our Constitution, oppose the book banning zealots! Vote for Bob Fish and Michelle Veal for the Community Library Network.
