NIC: Time for people ‘not in the know’ to fix things

This is in response to Christa Hazel’s piece on NIC and its problems. As a 20-plus year, over-taxed, resident spectator to this ongoing flap, I would like to share my thoughts. Christa immediately starts out chastising and belittling Brent Regan and his lack of education as if a college degree automatically gives one great insight and common sense.

In my 80 years, I have met some of the (dumbest book smart people with absolutely no common sense). Her article smacks of an elitist with an elitist view of things. According to her and her ilk, only the good old boys and girls know how to run things in Coeur d’Alene. Maybe it’s time for some people not in the know, to come in and see if they can make it right.

People with good management skills do not have to be college educated and not be part of the club to make things work as they should. Sometimes new blood is just what the doctor ordered. Hopefully the election in November will bring in new people that can clean up the mess at NIC and in Washington, D.C., we can only hope.
