Sneaky shenanigans from municipal government

Is there an issue of fraud and deceit in the Spokane Valley City Hall?

On March 21, a letter was delivered to our home, addressed with our names on an address label. No indication of sender, front or back of the envelope. Postage: an automatic stamp machine.

The letter was obviously “junk mail.” I was about to tear it in half, thereby signifying its destination, the fireplace. However, I opened the envelope to find an official letter from the Spokane Valley Planning Division, containing a proposal for a housing development in our neighborhood.

The letter stated we had 14 days to respond (I did so). Had I not opened this unmarked envelope I would have been totally unaware of the development until the “graders” rolled in. (The proposal was accepted.)

I do not believe it was in error for these letters to remain unidentified. I see no reason for lies.
