Wood receives NIC trustee emeritus status

Board votes 3-2 in favor; board conduct policy also adopted by 3-2 vote

Former North Idaho College Trustee Christie Wood was granted trustee emeritus status by a 3-2 vote Monday during a long and contentious meeting of the board. Vice Chair John Goedde made the motion, which was seconded by Secretary/Treasurer Pete Broschet. Board Chair David Wold also voted in favor. Trustees Todd Banducci and Greg McKenzie cast the dissenting votes.

MY TURN: Telling it like it is

Last week, I opened my favorite paper to see once again the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee Chairman Brent Regan using a platform to spread his version of events that just doesn’t ring true. He first addressed party politics that were of course divisive. Then he launched into a diatribe about North Idaho College. I have ignored the nonsense from the KCRCC under the leadership of Regan for many years while watching my friends stand up and address the mistruths. Today I must join them in rejecting the outright falsehoods. Regan’s version of what occurred with the trustees on the NIC Board is quite the fairy tale.
