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.
