A Word from Bill McCrory ...

...re: Coeur d'Alene City Attorney Mike Gridley's balancing act:

Boy, I sure don't envy Coeur d'Alene City Attorney Mike Gridley.

Today's d'Pressing reported he is about to begin eminent domain proceedings to get the properties needed for widening Government Way. He's going to have to exercise all his teaching talents to explain to the Mayor the distinction between eminent domain and negotiating points. It's clear from the Mayor's rationalizations about Sanders Beach she doesn't know the difference. (The mayor said the issue wasn't about the beach but about taking Hagadone's private property without consent.) Or, maybe she does and she's hoping we don't.
