CW: Nilson Ad Hypocritical, Inflames

Christie Wood (re: Coeur d'Alene Press ad by Ron Nilson today): Interestingly enough Ron (Nilson) is the same guy that led the campaign for a levy in three school districts this year to pay for KTEC that raised everyone's taxes by at least $30 a year. I supported that as well because I believe both the Ed. Corridor and KTEC programs are vital to our community. I can't help but wonder if he were elected what programs would he want to cut? With a 37% increase in enrollment and a $4 million dollar state holdback taking the allowed 3% increase in property taxes was necessary to the continued operation of the college. His ad is hypocritical and meant to inflame our constituents. How about you mention the tax increase you rallied for and won Ron? Full comment here.

Question: Are you happy with the current leadership of the North Idaho College Board of Trustees?
