Huckleberries Hears …
... that a 64-page complaint has been filed against the city of Coeur d'Alene for contributing $3M in taxpayer revenue to prepare the Kroc Center site. By Tom Macy, a Post Falls resident, and Coeur d'Alene Honda owner Kathy Sims (the pair who successfully fought the local-option sales tax a few years ago.) Macy told the SR that he's upset that someone -- imagine that! -- leaked a copy to the Coeur d'Alene Press. Larry Spencer denies involvement although this is his signature issue. Tom Green is doing the story for the Press. Major John Chamness has told Huckleberries that the complaint will have no affect on the construction of the Kroc Center, which is scheduled to begin this month. Stay tuned ...
Update: Kathy Sims has hung up on Erica Curless twice in the last few minutes and refuses to discuss the complaint. (Mebbe she's upset that the Press couldn't soft-pedal the story first tomorrow morning?)
Update: Kathy Sims just hung up on Erica for a third time. It'll be interesting to see if she's quoted in the Press Saturday.
