WilburTheCat on Mosquito fogging in Fairfield
May 17 at 3:39 p.m.
Like the saying goes, you're only as strong as your weakest link.
Just takes one "greenie" who doesn't want their mosquitoes killed and all their standing water, old tires with water in them, buckets where they collect rainwater, etc. will just continue the spread of these annoying creatures to all their neighbors and surrounding property, probably for miles.

Descolada on Spokane Valley Mayor to run for State Rep
April 24 at 4:42 p.m.
They say that Towey tells a lot of jokes. This has got to be the best one yet. Towey as a State Representative. He has been a do nothing Mayor as well as a do nothing council member...part of the so called "Positive Change" group, nothing has been "changed" in Spokane Valley despite the spending of thousands of dollars of TAX PAYER MONEY to tout the city as "business friendly". But yet when Councilman Ben Wick gave the report of a Blue RIbbon panel, commissioned by the Mayor, on how to make Spokane Valley economically viable, the first thing Mr. WIck said is that the City needs a plan. Towey thanked Mr. Wick for making the report and immediately shelved the entire study. So much for "Positive Change". Towey says he will run because he "respects Larry Crouse". Don't we need a representative that will work for the ...
WilburTheCat on Rollover wreck snarls I-90
April 24 at 1:32 p.m.
I suppose there could possibly be something mechanical, like a blown tire or some other cause.
But how in the world does somebody roll a vehicle on a perfectly dry freeway, clear weather, etc.
Texting, chatting on the cell phone, inattentiveness, just plain carelessness?
mdriftmeyer on I-90 overpass at University Road?
April 18 at 3:47 a.m.
This overpass would be a DOT addition. Your Evergreen road extension would be a County addition. Good luck with the County ponying up the dough.
Peeledpeas on I-90 overpass at University Road?

I think a more important upgrade would be to have Evergreen extended all the way to Trent.
WilburTheCat on Thursday's highlights
April 06 at 3:36 p.m.
Nina, it's April 5th and you finally get around to posting information from two days ago!
It's not like we're living in the dark ages. There is a little thing called "technology" you might try using.

fine with me.

Once again, I'm sorry about what I said.
Let' just call a truce and get along.
It was rude, I won't be doing it again.
We all get in bad moods once in a while, Obviously not a good time to be commenting.

Perfect. And here's your shot you took at me:

Good job taking a decent thread and dragging it totally off topic.
Why does the Spokesman even let you keep posting?
WilburTheCat on Spokane Valley man arrested by gang team
March 30 at 1:05 p.m.
Whatever I said, sorry to insult you.
I won't be responding to your posts any longer.
No more whining, I'll just ignore you instead.

hey crybaby go back and read your unprovoked slam at me on a diff thread. if you can dish it out you better be able to take it. No whining.
WilburTheCat on Spokane Valley man arrested by gang team
March 30 at 10:34 a.m.
The rude reply wasn't necessary.
I mistakenly thought any felony counted toward a person's three strikes, didn't know there was a certain level of felony that added up.
Next time you may want to help educate fellow readers, not just post snarky, nasty comments.

before you jump in the Waahmbulance and start turning on sirens and lights maybe you ought to, oh you know, KNOW WHAT THE THREE STRIKES LAW IS!??
Most serious offenses. Now, go back and read what this chump did. Figure it out yet, whiner?
You shouldn't even post here if you can't even do basic research or hold enough basic knowledge to not post moronic, empty headed drivel like that. Go to the CDA Press, you'll fit right in.

9 felonies, thank you Spokane Superior court judges and prosecutors for letting these scum bags out to terrorize us.

What happened to the three strikes and you're imprisoned for life law? This guy has nine felonies and is still not in prison, just out in the world to commit more crimes?

WilburTheCat on Low battery warning
March 08 at 3:36 p.m.
Nice way to sell batteries, but every smoke or CO detector I've owned always starts to beep when the batteries are getting low.
It's a good habit, but often not necessary.

No, Zelda, the Spokane Valley council hasn't talked about marijuana dispensaries yet.
zelda on Back at it again
February 27 at 12:35 p.m.
And you lived to tell about it. One thing I haven't seen discussed (at least in print) is how the City of Spokane Valley is going to deal with marijuana dispensaries. There's a lot of talk about the city of Spokane plans to handle the issue, but so far nothing from Spokane Valley. This is one of the biggest economic matters to come along since the city was incorporated, so has the subject even been broached?
