A Spokane Valley firefighter says he'll continue using his government email account to send religious-oriented messages to fellow firefighters despite being suspended for two days and ordered to stop.

Spokesman-Review reporter Nina Culver explores the continuing conflict in today's edition of the Valley Voice.
