CAMPAIGN: Signs of distrust

| April 13, 2022 1:00 AM

Kudos for Devin Weeks story in the Coeur d’Alene Press calling out the illegal placement of campaign signs in our public right of ways. Placing campaign signs in right of ways is illegal for safety reasons and it’s inappropriate for a campaign to utilize public assets for their personal gain.

An even bigger issue here is that is that because candidates McGeachin, Moon and Giddings directly or indirectly chose to break this part of Idaho Code, we must wonder what other codes will they choose to break if elected? A candidate who can’t run a legal campaign does not deserve our trust to run our government.
