MY TURN: Housing crisis remains
We all have memories of how things used to be. Sometimes those memories are distorted by the passage of time and appear significantly different today. Kootenai County in 1980 had a significantly smaller population and more people have wanted to share in it. That has continued to the current time. The problem is the pie is only so large. Too many of us want a bigger piece than we are entitled to. If our community is to be economically viable and provide housing for all the people who will be here, we need to start sharing the pie. Groups such as Kootenai Connect are an essential part because it’s focus is regional. We all need that wider focus as well. We can achieve that by electing knowledgeable leaders and keeping the good ones we have. We must support leaders who offer hope and solutions not people who offer only blame.

Guns you want back, sales guys you don't
Pony Express on U.S. 95 recently closed without notice due to the failing health of the owner, who has now passed away. A number of consumers who had placed their guns on consignment with Pony Express have contacted me, wanting to know who had custody of their firearms. I was given the number of attorney Jeff Andrews in Hayden as the person to coordinate the return of the property. I called his office over a week ago. My call has not been returned. I was told a detective at the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office was working on this matter. I recommended a consumer call the detective. He did and reported the detective referred him back to attorney Andrews. This is the kind of circular referral that drives people nuts! Finally, I called the Coeur d'Alene Police Department's non-emergency number, (208) 769-2320). They said they'd be willing to take a police report from anyone unable to locate their firearm.
