Quiet BOCC meeting disrupted by state rep. candidate
SANDPOINT — A relatively quiet meeting was disrupted when resident and state representative candidate Spencer Hutchings walked to the front of the room while others were giving public comments, demanding to be allowed to speak.
When Hutchings refused to return to his seat, it forced a recess to be called until he complied.
Hutchings had been attending most of the meeting via Zoom, with his virtual hand raised, requesting to speak. Commissioner Luke Omodt, the current chair of the board, typically allows residents who have shown up in person to speak first, then moves on to those who have signed up via Zoom.
