Rich offers voters a voice of reason

After working for Bonner County and the citizens of the county for 30 years, 22 of them as the elected prosecuting attorney, I semi-retired in January 2012. During that time, I worked with more than 20 county commissioners, and countless other elected officials, department heads, and employees.

I urge you to vote on May 15 to re-elect Lewis Rich as county commissioner. Rich is an independent businessman and community volunteer. He has repeatedly voted to control county spending of taxpayer dollars and to limit the budget.

He has served and listened to fairly, honestly, and respectfully all of the citizens of Bonner County, not just a select group or faction.

He has recently been the victim of vicious, untrue, and unwarranted attacks and a coordinated effort to defeat him so there will be no independent voice of reason left on the board.

Please do not let that happen to Bonner County.
