MASTERSON: Save our rural lifestyle

For county commissioner this time around my support goes to my good friend Bat Masterson and he should be your choice as well.

Bat has worked tirelessly for the county and the folks of North Idaho and their rural lifestyle for the past 20-plus years. He was instrumental in halting the “Bickel Ranch” development after many town meetings at Athol City Hall. 

Bat has always worked in the medical field helping his neighbors and continuing his lifelong work in the military as a medical professional caregiver. 

Bat was an avid sportsman and has worked to keep our Second Amendment in place. Bat is a horse trainer and a big fan of the back country horseman. 

Vote for Bat if you want the county to keep moving in the right direction and keep our comprehensive plan in place, allowing only one house per five acres and other parts of the comp plan we have worked so hard to keep in place so we can continue living our dream in this wonderful panhandle. 

Bat will continue doing the right thing as some of our past commissioners have done like Wayne Meyer and Dick Panabaker. You have the power, now do the right thing and let’s get Bat Masterson on the board with the other county commissioners.
