Bring back experience

The position of Spokane County assessor is an extremely important facet of county government. Timely and proper assessment of property creates the tax base necessary for county government to function smoothly; thus providing the services we all depend on in our daily lives.

I am happy to say we have the perfect candidate in Sadie Charlene Cooney. Her experience is invaluable as she has been the county assessor previously. She is competent, qualified and understands the intricacies and complexities of this position.

She has superb leadership qualities and for years has worked well with many of our community leaders. She has been a visible and admirable presence in our community. We are indeed fortunate to have a person so well versed in the workings of county government. She is also able to be an advocate that works in our benefit with community leaders to ensure changes of a positive nature. A vote for Charlene is a vote for the best possible county assessor.
