Student vies for mayor

New library becomes a reality

by Robbie Klen holz

This year's Coeur d'Alene mayoral race has candidates running from all walks of life-including North Idaho College journalism major Robb Brennan. Drennan, 21. is a 1986 Coeur d'Alene High School gradua1e and curren1ly at¡ tends NIC. The main facior, which convinced Brennan 10 run for mayor, was seeing the pro1csts in China's Tien Mien square. "There were people fighting so I hey could have basic rights that we as Americans wke for granted," Brennan said. "I decided 110110 1ake 1hosc righ1s for granted anymore. I'm running for mayor to help keep those righ1s. '' After Bren nan decided to run, he realized that he didn't really fit into noy specific political party so he formed his own.. "My friends and I really don't fit in with Republicans. Democrats or Socialists so we formed Our Party," Brennan said. According 10 Brennan the only requirement to belong 10 Our Party is to be a cooperative person and 10 wnnl 10 be11er the Coeur d'Alene community.

"Our Pany was so named because it is our community, our future, so Our Party," Brennan said. There arc also many other reasons why Drennan is running. "There arc some things in Coeur d'Alene I don'1 like, and instead of just complaining nbou1 them, I want to do something about th em," Brennan said. One fnct that Brennan strongly believes is 1hat Coeur d'Alene has 1he potential to be a model community. " I want to change Coeur d'Alene so it's no1 just known for bad schools and Naz.is,'' llrennnn said. Brennan said 1hc city needs more programs for the youth-like a communi1y cen1cr. In addition, he would also like to see an upgraded public transponation system. more affordable child core and a curb-side recycling program. "I wani 10 start 1alking about the recycling, the liucr and the landfills now bccousc in 20 years it may be 100 laic.'' Brennan said. Wi1h n curb-side recycling program, Brennan said, the city provides different colored bins for glw. paper, aluminum and plastic. Then the ci1y comes around and picks them up. The benefits arc worth the cost, he said. Although Brennon has been quo1ed as an environmentalis1, he said he is also pro-bu~iness. "I would like 10 make ii easier for businesses 10 set up in our community-an cn"ironment more conducive 10 business." Brennan said. ''With more businesses in the community, the 1u pln1form is bigger and can pay for more social programs." Brennan is also against the proposed hydroplane races on Lake Coeur d'Alene. "\Ve don't nctd all those beerdrinking rowdies tearing up Tubbs Hill," Brennan said. " I guess my main goal wi1h this campaign is 10 get Coeur d'Alene off the map for Nazis and on the map for our community," Brennan said.
