David Stewart was a no show at last weeks Commissioners Forum in Athol.
What’s his story?????
Weeeelllllllll, Stewie says:
“I have received information from our legal department that my participation could and most likely will pose a risk of impermissible ex parte contact pursuant to Idaho code because the district court remanded Silver Hill and Cattle Company and Mort Construction case back to the board of county commissioners,”
“It is a matter currently before the board or, alternatively, one which will come before the board in the near future. In the spirit of not compromising my position as a sitting Kootenai County commissioner in this matter and furthermore not wanting to become a hindrance of open communication among your attendees and other commissioner candidates, I have therefore made the decision to not attend tonight’s forum.”
But… KCBOCC Attorney Pat Braden says:
“It was strictly his decision whether to attend and answer the other questions,”
You’d think Stewie would have figured out that it would be ok to just say:
“I can’t discuss that!”
But Noooooooo, he just doesn’t Shoooooooooow!

Here’s what we think Stewie’s real reason is:
