Matter of Opinion

Our view: Guild vote good start

In today's editorial, we have commendations and concerns for the police ombudsman plan, which now goes to the City Council for consideration. Considering Spokane's history of failed police oversight plans, this is definitely a good start. We hope the Police Guild's excessive power in the process will be tempered and the result will be a fully independent ombudsman.
