There's a new chief in town. During a ceremony at Coeur d'Alene police headquarters Tuesday, Lee White was sworn in as the city's chief of police. "I am confident that Chief White will provide outstanding leadership knowledge and professionalism to the city of Coeur d'Alene," Mayor Steve Widmyer said. "We are very excited to have him as our new police chief." Widmyer then turned the ceremony over to City Clerk Renata McLeod, who officially swore in White as the new chief/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: Is the Arfee controversy the number one issue facing Chief White? Or is there something more important?
