County commissioners reject assessor’s request for attorney
COEUR d’ALENE — Kootenai County commissioners declined to approve a request by Assessor Béla Kovacs to hire attorney D. Colton Boyles to represent his office in two civil lawsuits.
When county commissioners slashed Kovacs’ salary in half last year and he sued to have his pay restored, Boyles represented Kovacs in the successful lawsuit.
