Litigation may be imminent for the new board of the Community Library Network.
Former trustee Regina McCrea submitted a letter Wednesday addressed to the board majority Rachelle Ottosen, Tim Plass and Tom Hanley in her official capacity as an attorney.
It wasn’t a busy election day in Shoshone County, but several key elections took place on Tuesday.
Among the five elections that were held, one was decided by a single vote, one of them changed the way the city of Kellogg will tax guests, and one of them will be decided by coin flip.
Two Community Library Network trustees have filed a lawsuit against three Kootenai County residents who distributed letters accusing the trustees of committing crimes against children.
“We will not sit by while being falsely accused…by people who want to try and hide behind the First Amendment,” said Judy Meyer and Regina McCrea, in a statement shared Thursday with the Coeur d’Alene Press.
Meyer and McCrea are seeking reelection to the Community Library Network Board of Trustees. They said they decided to file the civil suit in order to take a stand against political mudslinging in North Idaho.
