COUNTY: Frustration isn’t optional

| April 20, 2022 1:00 AM

I’m frustrated that the Optional Forms of Government Study commission has removed the opportunity for me to have a vote on the Kootenai County administrative structure!

I shrugged my shoulders at the disagreements during their deliberations, knowing that the studying of various government structures would naturally require debate. However, I always assumed that Kootenai County voters would have the final say.

Why would the commission want to deny us the opportunity to have our vote on the issue?

Thank you to those members who seriously studied the issues at hand with an open mind.
