I think that the City of Spokane, and the people of district 1 are mistaken to elect Amber… The people in this city need a leader that has represented their community with honor and Mike Fagan is that leader. He is a great leader and role model, he had great plans for the city and the Hillyard community. Throw political parties out and please vote for someone you know, someone that has been with this community through all the good times and bad times, someone that wont use the government a a scape goat, or give you a dressed up answer and can lend a hand to help influence others and contribute to the enconomic drought on the city. Mike Fagan is the milk to our cereal… I hope Spokane enjoys dry cereal!
