PUBLIC MONEY: Is this the best way to use it?
On July 23, the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office posted a media release titled “Sheriff Norris Offers $10,000 Reward in Frivolous Lawsuit.” The post was made via KCSO resources and by a KCSO employee (Lt. Zachary Sifford).

These questions are rarely asked anymore because it has become too easy for our attention to be placed elsewhere at a moment’s notice.
