WOOD: Letter writer got it wrong about Christie

A recent letter to The Press suggesting that Christie Wood is responsible for the accreditation woes at NIC is inaccurate. Problems including dysfunction, anger management and board member Michael Barnes not even living in the state of Idaho are what led us to where we are now, on the brink of losing accreditation and financial disaster. Christie did the right thing by resigning. All of the trustees should have followed her lead.

The authors thesis anti-thesis analogy is also highly subjective because she assumes Christie Wood is a liberal, which in some people’s head conjures up evil doers and anti-Christian. Neither comes close to describing the loyal public servant I have known for over 30 years. These so-called liberals they shriek about all the time, they are normal people, local citizens who care about this community and are sick and tired of deceitful politics and the wasting of public money.

The synthesis, characterizing these liberals by mischievously using social media, told lies about the status of the accreditation problem. May I remind the author that it was the false storyline promoted by KCRCC and its whisper bigrade on social media before the election, not those sneaky liberals. What problem? There is no problem with accreditation, and those liberals are lying to you. A tune which rapidly changed after the election when one of the chief propagators of this lie, Mike Waggoner, became a board member. Waggoner, a recent transplant to Kootenai County, and the only one of the three deniers to win a seat on the board. Now you know the real story.
