If at first you don’t succeed, keep trying and eventually too few voters will turn out and your boondoggle bill will pass.  I am of course talking about the Post Falls School District’s second attempt to pass the levy.  They lost in March and are taking it right back to the May election…no cause for trying to understand why the measure was defeated, just keep trying until success is achieved.  Talk about being deaf to the will of the people!  In today’s episode I share why Idaho Speaks is against the levy…facts and figure!

Press Release announcing Joe’s Run for Office

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, March 26, 2021. Joe Alfieri, of Coeur d'Alene, has announced his candidacy for City Council seat #4. Joe cites his concern that the city is losing its character because of its rapid growth as one of the reasons he's entering the race. 

"I think the current city council too often rubber stamps projects without giving them adequate review. Last week, for example, they approved the annexation of land zoned for residential use without even asking for a traffic study." 

"We're starting to see the same type of problems that other small cities have had as they grew, and we can't sit by and just watch what happens. At least I can't "Joe said. "So I think it's time for some fresh leadership, and new ideas. Twenty years in government is too long." Woody McEvers, who currently holds seat #4 on the city council, was elected in 2002. 

While a newcomer to local politics, Alfieri has been involved in several organizations since moving here in 2013. He served on the CDA Economic Development Corporation's Jobs Plus Action committee, and in the Coeur d'Alene Chamber of Commerce as its Membership Outreach Committee chairman. In that tenure, a subcommittee he led was awarded honors as committee of the year for its development of COEURfest, a community event. 

"I'm running because I want to make sure that our children, and their children, can grow up in the type of town so many of us love. I don't want to see it destroyed by urban planning, so that it becomes just another small city. This place is special. Let's keep it that way."

Carla visits with Idaho Speaks about recent happenings with the Kootenai County Republican Women Federated organization.  Carla and Ed discussed Kootenai Counties discussions on changing the form of government and Bill Brook’s push towards the bylaws change.  We also discussed how candidates thinking about running for office could request help from the KCRWF.

What KCRWF Stands For?

Our goal is to promote Republican Principles. We want to increase the effectiveness of Republican women in the governmental process and community involvement. An educated woman is one of the most powerful influences there is. This organization gives the opportunity for you to make your voice count.

Their next meeting is April 1, 2021 at 11:30 at the CDA Resort.  RSVP by visiting kwrcf.com/rsvp
