Dangerous Doctor Dilemma
Our oldest son will graduate from medical school in two months. His graduation will be just a milestone, albeit an important one, on a long journey of dedication to his field. Now, after 8 years of college and med school, he will spend the next 5 years in an Ear, Nose and Throat residency program in the Midwest.
Dave called us last night and he is concerned. He’s worried about the impact the Obama health care bill will have on doctors’ professional freedom and the quality of care in our country. (more…)
Some of you may have seen Maureen Dolan’s article headlined NIC: Judge dismisses lawsuit in this morning’s Coeur d’Alene Press. Larry Spencer, Tom Macy, and I are the plaintiffs in this lawsuit filed October 27, 2009. Although the Court obviously provided the ruling to the defendants, we were not notified about the judgment nor have we yet received a copy of the judge’s ruling. We learned about the decision the same way most others did, the newspaper article. Neither were Larry, Tom, nor I contacted for comment before the Press ran the story.
When and if we receive the judge’s ruling in writing, I will scan and post it in its entirety on OpenCdA.com. We can’t comment until we know what the judge said.

The last one on the list is the LCDC project spread sheet from July 2009, and gives loads of details. Ok, it might not be everything you want to know, but it’s a start. Have fun!

KREM TV Channel 2 reporter John Langeler’s first story about Jim Brannon’s lawsuit contesting the November 3, 2009, Coeur d’Alene City election left many voters with more questions than answers. The lawsuit is still in First District Court Judge Benjamin Simpson’s courtroom. In spite of ongoing efforts by the City of Coeur d’Alene, Kootenai County Clerk Dan English, and Kootenai County Prosecutor Barry McHugh to obstruct Brannon’s and his attorney’s access to evidence, critical information is beginning to ooze out through the cracks in the city and county’s rapidly deteriorating armor.

Cliff Hayes, Post Falls, announced his candidacy today for Kootenai County Clerk. Mr. Hayes is a long-time Post Falls resident and is the recently retired Chief of the Post Falls Police Department. He has served on the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee and will run as a Republican candidate. Mr. Hayes believes that voters should have a choice; that no candidate should run unopposed. His campaign chairman is Larry Gilman, and his campaign treasurer is Fred Ostermeyer.
Here’s a link to the video of tonight’s news coverage of the election problems here in CdA:

If you believe Kootenai County Clerk Dan English, there is little or no “wholesale fraud” going on in Kootenai County elections. English would have you believe he runs such a tight election operation that it would have been next to impossible for someone to fraudulently change the outcome of the November 3, 2009, Coeur d’Alene city election. If so, he’s naive or deceptive. Neither trait is desirable in the county’s chief elections officer. To get an idea of what is possible, I suggest you download and print this diagram. Then, read on.
