Huckleberries hears ... that Ray Writz, a Constitutionalist who has run twice unsuccessfully for the state Legislature, plans to run again for the Coeur d'Alene City Council position this fall. In 2012, Writz ran for the state House District 4 seat now held by Rep. Luke Malek, R-CdA, winning only 3.76% of the vote.

DFO: You can dismiss Writz out of hand as a viable council candidate. But it's refreshing to have a Constitutionalist who has run as a Constitutionalist rather than a Kootenai County Republican. What do you think?
