It's not often that retaining a judge becomes an election controversy. Then again, this is 2016. About 15 people from Citizens for the Removal of Judge Clark Peterson picketed in front of the Kootenai County Courthouse on Wednesday morning, urging voters in Tuesday's general election to not retain the magistrate. The campaign claims Peterson's gaming activities have been a factor in some of the decisions he has made from the bench. The group raised other concerns about his personal life, including bankruptcy, divorce and foreclosure proceedings on his home/Brian Walker, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
