Spokesman Keith Erickson tells Huckleberries that the city of Coeur d'Alene has extended the public comment period for the five finalists competing to sculpt the statue honoring the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe on the Spokane River, near North Idaho College. Keith tells Huckleberries: "Instead of moving the maquettes tomorrow, we will leave them at the library until next Tuesday to allow additional time for public comment/feedback. Next Tuesday, we will bring them down to the Wellness Center at the CDA Tribe for a week for comment. Then, we will display them at NIC for the remainder of that week. This should provide enough time/feedback to appease everyone."

Question: Do you plan to provide input?
