This week we learned that Coeur d’Alene’s urban renewal agency, which some affectionately refer to as The First Unregulated Bank of Idaho, will officially change its name from LCDC to “ignite cda”.
That same article from the local skews paper also reported that the LCDC/burnout board decided to spend just under $55,000 to tell the public about the change. That reminded us of the cartoon the legendary editorial cartoonist Jimmy Barona did in 2011. It first appeared in Mary Souza’s OpenCdA post entitled Stall Tactics in October 2011.
As far as we at OpenCdA are concerned, the LCDC can call itself ignite cda or whatever it chooses. The result is the same: Same pig, just a different shade of lipstick.
But, in the spirit of support your local bucket-o-cash, we think ignite cda needs a slogan. We’d humbly suggest that as we approach the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Watts Riots, “Burn, baby, burn!” would fit. Or maybe we should say “Berns, baby, Berns”.
ignite cda might decide to emulate Spokane’s Pig Out in the Park, only ignite cda would call it “Flame out in McEuen Park”.
Anyone else want to suggest ways the LCDC/ignite cda can transform the pig into a beauty queen?
