November 6, 2011 in City
Many candidates, issues familiar from past ballots
Washington voters checking their ballots this weekend for the first time may feel a sense of déjà vu.
They voted last year on proposals to get the state out of the liquor business, and in 2008 to require more training for home health care workers. And while it isn’t immediately clear from the ballot language, the initiative on road and bridge tolls resurrects some of last year’s initiative requiring supermajorities in the Legislature.
Spokane voters also have a second shot at a city charter amendment dubbed a Community Bill of Rights, a proposal to expand the ability of neighborhoods to stop developments, although it’s slimmed down from the 2009 version.
Mary Verner and Dennis Hession are both on the city ballot again; unlike 2007, they’re not running against each other for mayor. Verner’s running for re-election against David Condon; Hession is running for the job he had before mayor, City Council president, against Ben Stuckart.
The Spokane City Council races also have familiar names. Mike Allen was appointed to the council in the city’s south district in 2007 and ran unsuccessfully in 2009; he’s running this time against incumbent Richard Rush. Mike Fagan ran unsuccessfully for a council seat in the northeast district in 2009, Donna McKereghan finished second in a race there in 2007; now they face each other. Steve Salvatori ran for Spokane County commissioner last year, and is running this year for a council seat in the northwest district against Joy Jones, the one newcomer for a council district seat.
Spokane Valley residents have a new ballot measure that could settle an old argument, whether the city should turn the one-way couplets on Sprague and Appleway back to two-way streets. They have three contested council races, and the Valley is also the center of one of the state’s few legislative races in this off-year election. Two Republicans, appointed incumbent Jeff Baxter and former state Rep. Mike Padden, are vying for the right to fill the one year remaining on the term of the late Sen. Bob McCaslin.
Liberty Lake voters will decide whether they want to switch their current strong-mayor city government for a city manager and council system. They also have a contest for mayor and one of their City Council seats.
Voters in Airway Heights, Cheney, Deer Park, Fairfield, Medical Lake, Millwood, Rockford, Sprague and Waverly have at least one contested council race.
Voters throughout Spokane County will decide whether to raise property taxes by about 5.8 cents for each $1,000 of assessed valuation to replace the regional animal shelter.
School boards throughout Washington have seats on the ballot, although many are uncontested. Spokane Public Schools has Deana Brower and Sally Fullmer running for its open seat.
Supermajority for taxes unconstitutional, judge rules

ChefGus/ John Olsen on November 06 at 5:12 a.m.
The “Elephant in the Room” is the Spokane Police Department and their outrageous behavior in the court room on Friday. The Mayor should fire the Chief ( and not let her slide out in the dark of night)… and the Mayor should make good on resolving this problem that was present even when she was on City Council. Perhaps too late at this date to turn the corner and win the election. Mr Stuckart or Mr Hession will likely be our new mayor after a recall. john
Truthbtold on November 06 at 5:54 a.m.
John, I have to agree with the Elephant in the room, but the REAL problem, (If we are referring to the Otto case) is being totally over looked here.
Otto, his family, friends and the community would NOT had to wait for justice if STEVE TUCKER would have done the job “WE” pay him to do.
Why does it take the feds to come in and clean up his messes? If you RECALL he was the one who told the mayor, chief, and community that there was not enough evidence to file charges…..the whole mess could have been avoided. He is the one who should be recalled, and I have to say that it is in the forefront of my thoughts….
By the way, I do appreciate your involvement in our community, your comments and your dedication to helping others…
PS…I also respect the fact that you post with your real name and are not afraid to voice your opinions without hiding behind some alias………….

@ShannonSullivan
In all fairness to Steve Tucker (I’m no fan). He had not made a decision regarding the Zehm case, prior to yielding to the DOJ. He also was supplied with many SPD reports justifying the actions of Thompson. Tucker didn’t tell anyone publicly or privately that I am aware of that there wasn’t enough evidence to file charges it hadn’t gotten to that point when the feds stepped in.
At that time it was Hession’s and Verner’s baby(as you know she was on the public safety committee when it all went down). Once she took office the sham continued and it was her baby and the councils. As a matter of fact some of the worst things to happen were allowed to happen during her reign, and some of those bad things have continued unchecked.
I know where your loyalties lie, but you in the past have had the jam to say it like it is, and you know it ain’t good now. When you talk to her you might mention she HAS to do something about this terrible display of judgment on the part of HER people in a federal court room. This is something where she has to set Kirkpatrick aside and take care of it herself.
johnclarke on November 06 at 7:34 a.m.
Hmm interesting thought John. This does represent an opportunity of sorts for the Mayor. I don’t really know if the police chief is good at her job or what, but clearly those cops extended another form of salute towards her and her authority. I’d hate to lose a good chief and keep bad cops. We’ll have to see how this unfolds, I would say if the chief does not take some form of action then she is too weak to control the SPD. Heads should roll, effective immediately.
DickAdams on November 06 at 9:14 a.m.
Ms. Sullivan:
No question that Tucker spends most of his time at the 19th hole imbibing in the grape. Tucker might even meet some one who tells him about the do and do not actions. Verner on the other hand, had all the documented evidence to act on her own, and no question in my mind, not have put the Otto Zehm family through this terrible experience by not doing something. VERNER, was as guilty as her underling attorney, Roco Treppiedi. For gosh sake, she is an attorney as well where the worst of the ambulance chasers low life stupids would know what was going on. Verner was a party to the cover-up and did nothing to help OTTO`s family, with her authority as MAYOR.
Steve Tucker and the sheriff be damned.
DickAdams on November 06 at 9:32 a.m.
I`m feel compelled to also mention to everybody, that Verner mislead the public regarding the city utility taxes. Verner`s, amnesia/lie about the private city utility tax take, is unpardonable. Heck, how many company’s that charge a city utility tax to its users are there? I`ll remind the citizens of Spokane, a few like, comcast, land-line telephone service, and for sure AVISTA gouging us even hitting us with the same bat twice,for example COMCAST AT OVER 12%. I`ll leave out the biggest whopper, that in my opinion borders being criminal. I blame the likes of her financial guru,Gavin Cooley for it.
another_perspective on November 06 at 11:30 a.m.
I wonder if it takes a) an attorney and b) an elected official to view the video tapes and come up with a reasonable suspicion that perhaps the reports she read were maybe a little fibbish (new word. means has fibs in it).
12 random jurors in Yakima came up with a conclusion. Why didn’t or cant Verner? She has been bought out by someone. Someone controls her and filters the truth. There are more than one or two candidates I can think of in City hall that are probably blackmailing her.
Dazzeetrader11 on November 06 at 11:36 a.m.
Good to see Shannon SUlivan’s here. Maybe she can begin her practiced method of ridding Spokane of a mayor. This time is bigger than some touching boy or offering jobs.This time it’s a homicide coverup. Go big or go home Shannon.
When Tucker comes up…and the police in court…and then the mayor who “probably shouldn’t comment”, is there any doubt that the who place needs to be purged? Verner won’t wuit as it would ruin her career which include a run against McMorris.
There is no doubt she’ll have to be removed.
She knows she’ll be kept busy with the Feds and cannot perform as a Mayor(not that she has in the past 4 years) but still she refuses to quit. The reason is self centered as usual. SO the voter have a chance to take her out. It looks like this poison is in all sectors regarding the law. Major extractions are due. I’d like to know why Tucker hasn’t been interviewed by the FBI yet. Clean the city up.
Vote Condon. Vote Hession. Vote Mike Allen.

Lulubelle on November 06 at 12:08 p.m.
Vote Condon, Hession, Allen??? Puuuulezzz.
Condon = chosen successor to Boehner puppet CMR. Has no interest in Spokane except as a stepping stone to bigger and better things…..ala Baumgartner’s 6th run. No plan, no ideas…..lots of talking points supplied by his Olympia consultant and lots of money laundered thru the State Repubs. Yeah, that’s the kind of “public servant” I want running my city.
Hession =Tired has been or never was. Only idea he has this time is the Repub battle cry “NO TAXES”…..no idea how to maintain any semblance of a city worth living in, much less one that will attract businesses and economic development. Needs a job, that’s about it.
Allen = didn’t bother showing up when he was appointed city councilman, lost his election bid two years ago and is still looking for a job. Guess he figured it couldn’t hurt to give it another shot…….this go around is trying to ride in on Salvatori’s Repub/developer/real estate coattails.
Spokane shouldn’t have to settle for second rate leaders…..
VOTE VERNER - STUCKART - RUSH - JONES
Dazzeetrader11 on November 06 at 12:36 p.m.
SOrry …but if you look at each player in all this, what seems to have happened was this (the nutshell version) Verner, Kirkpatrick, Nicks, Rocky and comrades, Tucker and his people…none of them did their jobs. Not one did his/her job.
ALL need to be removed. When each depends on one another to keep their jobs, only the voter or the FBI can stop this cabal of incompetence. All this is beginning to look like a conspiracy. Only way to cure this problem is remove all of them.
Lulu is abviously player he liberal hand. Spokane needs new leadership…with experience too.
Condon, Hession and Mike Allen will supply it. I’d say Salvatori too but why spend time on a person who’s already won? Jones is nice but again…all the left offers is inexperience with no past leadership. Lulu is so insane, she’ll vote for the one person who is central to all this. Verner must leave …one way or the other.
All abandoned their leadership. A void was left and nobody filled it. Worse, these all had a hand in the worst thing on record. Not only didn’t they not protect, they failed their own job descriptions….and the innocent suffered for it.
Never should ideology mask the truth. Lulu would . Right minded people would not. Spokane needs a cleaning. That won’t happen if Verner is re-elected. Seriously she had her chance and tried to protect herself and nobody else. Verner does not deserve the office. Voting in Condon and Hession is the only logical move. Rush is just a stooge for the left. Allen will reverse and undo everything this baffoon has done.
It’s up to Spokane. Why vote in the same people who have basically assualted the city either to protect their jobs or for their ideology? I won’t.
Lulubelle on November 06 at 12:47 p.m.
Of course you won’t vote Dazzed…….you can’t….you don’t even live in Spokane!

Oh, I see WBC is back on the threads; this time as Obamanation. When posting as WBC, before being banned, she always used “libtard” in every post so it’s not difficult to figure out that WBC=Obamanation=flag as inappropriate.
The ballot for this current political cycle seems like a redo on many issues/initiatives previously voted on. IMO, if an initiative fails to pass then supports should have to wait 4 years before being able to bring it up again…
I hate initiatives anyways and usually won’t vote on them; direct democracy just allows representatives to shirk their duties and often leads to unintended consequences because the proposed laws are not drafted to pass constitutional muster.

Dazzed…as we all know, paying taxes in Spokane and voting in Spokane is not necessarily one in the same. If you pay taxes on Spokane properties with development in mind requiring zoning changes, no wonder you want the developer/real estate toadies in office.You’ve got French in the County, now with a couple of your boys in the City, you and your pals are sitting in the catbird seat. Also explains you disdain for anything resembling a neighborhoods’ right to self-determination.
You guys never want to live by the rules, always looking to advantage yourselves at the expense of everyone else.
misjustice on November 06 at 2:14 p.m.
Is Dazzed committing voter fraud? You can only vote in elections in jurisdictions where you reside; not in every place where you may own property.
Dazzed is either a liar if she’s claiming to vote in elections that she doesn’t really participate in, or a cheat if she is committing voter fraud by voting in elections where she does not reside.
Just sayin’…

Dazzeetrader11 on November 06 at 3:09 p.m.
Nope…I vote in Spokane. Absentee. “just sayin” like a typical lowlife.
Lulu…I very much believe in the neighborhoods voting for whatever they want. Council listens to the neighborhoods and does what the nieghborhoods want. Ask Walmart. They tried and the commissioners with the council said “no”.
They left.
There is a fine mechanism in place for the neighborhoods to have a voice. But with all your complaining..I’d like you to give ONE example where the neighborhoods had something pushed on them. Just ONE.
I do know of a neighborhood where the neighborhood overwhelming voted for a zone change but the Envision Spokane people sued to prevent it even though the neighborhood spoke and spoke loudly in favor of a development. So it’s in the courts last I knew.
When Lindsay was in the very distant minoity, he chose to work against the neighborhoods’s wishes. Is that the control you want dear? You want to control the neighborhoods NOT the developers. Neighborhoods have voted against your group of socialists 27-4. Live with it. You lie and mislead. Neighborhoods are fine without you. Ask Walmart. Envision did nothing.
VOTE VERNER OUT! She’s the basis of all this. Deception and lies is her stock and trade. You simply cannot trust her and she doesn’t trust YOU.
misjustice on November 06 at 3:14 p.m.
You can’t legally vote here; you don’t live here. So, if you are voitng here, you are committing voter fraud. Bet you cast a ballot in the city where you live also?

Verner, Kirkpatrick, and Nicks should be investigated by the Wa. AG. Verner is a member of Bloomberg’s mayors against illegal guns, an anti Constitutional organization.
Hession should be investigated for entering Spokane into the Agenda 21 organization while interim mayor of Spokane. Your tax dollars are going to the UN instead of being used here in Spokane.
Stuckert is green weenie, of the like of Waldref, Snyder, Rush, Shogun. The council presidents seat should be left open.
With the apathetic voter turnout, Spokane is lost. No business is going to come here.

Dazzeetrader11 on November 06 at 3:39 p.m.
Absentee voting is what I do…Miss “just sayin”. Lies and such do not register in my world.
Back to Lulu though, Walmart isn’t in Southgate due to the neighborhoods objecting. Are they? So the neighborhood interaction with the council works. Show me one development that was done when the neighborhoods object. Just ONE!
I do know of a very nice development in Spokane where the neighbors overhwhelming voteed FOR it but were sued because of it. By guess who? The Envision Spokane groupies.
The libs aren’t interested in the neighborhoods unless Lulu and her Envision friends can control them. The neighborhoods have vote 24-4 to NOT support Lulu and her socialist friends. An yet Lulu and her friends persist… they don’t want justice. They want control of the neighborhoods which will never happen. They should grow up and let the neighborhoods function.
Meanwhile..untill the Verner’s of the world and her cabal of conspiratorial friends are gone, Spokane won’t succeed.
Vote her out. Vote her friends out. They do nothing but stall a recovery in Spokane. A vote for Condon, Hession, Mike Allen and Salvatori is a vote for progress. Gorgeous city., Good people. No reason why Spokane cannot succeed. Just get some honesty in government and lose the liberals who have a whole new plan in mind….a bad one.

DazzeeTrader can not legally vote in our elections as her permanent address is not here (which she regularly admits on these threads). Residencey requirements are clearly outlined in the the RCWs:
RCW 29A.04.151
Residence.
“Residence” for the purpose of registering and voting means a person’s permanent address where he or she physically resides and maintains his or her abode. However, no person gains residence by reason of his or her presence or loses his or her residence by reason of his or her absence:
(1) While employed in the civil or military service of the state or of the United States;
(2) While engaged in the navigation of the waters of this state or the United States or the high seas;
(3) While a student at any institution of learning;
(4) While confined in any public prison.
Absence from the state on business shall not affect the question of residence of any person unless the right to vote has been claimed or exercised elsewhere.

There are more than a few holes in the law.
However, there’s this:
“I declare that the facts on this voter registration form are true. I am a citizen of the United States, I am not presently denied the right to vote as a result of being convicted of a felony, I will have lived in Washington at this address for 30 days immediately before the next election at which I vote, and I will be at least 18 years old when I vote.”
On the registration form.
along with this:
“If you knowingly provide false information on this voter registration form or knowingly make a false declaration about your qualifications for voter registration you will have committed a class C felony that
is punishable by imprisonment for up to 5 years, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.”

lulu`s belly:
It appears to me, you seem to think its OK that with Verner`s involvement in the cover-up (surely if your honest with yourself, its a fact) of the Zehm crime, you seem to concur with Verner, not caring enough about the Zehm family, and did nothing about it for almost 4 years allowing Otto`s parents to suffer the pain they must have gone through for so long. I can`t imagine if it were my son, who was not guilty of a crime but was in a store to purchase a plastic bottle of pop and a snickers candy bar and was beat to a pulp and died of the sustained injuries inflected upon him, by sadist Thompson and his thug SPD that helped him murder a handicapped person. Can you really support Verner regardless? If you do, after what`s transpired, you need help.

Dazzeetrader11 on November 06 at 6:21 p.m.
Not so worried about Prop 1. Worried about the races. Sets the tone for more progress or lack thereof. I vote. Nobody’s ever said it’s illegal. I registered and they send the ballots.
I don’t think it’s wrong for a property owner registered in Spokane County to vote. Lulu…sorry but I saw the vote. It was a complete injustice. I also saw the results of the neighborhood vote. Disgusting that Envision should put that man through this… I was going to fund that project with my group. Looks like it won’t happen now because of your friends. Just looked like a bunch of troublemaking socialists trying to overrule the neighborhood vote. They failed so they sued. Hypocrits all of them.
Let’s understand Verner has done nothing but spend money and crate debt and mismanagement of the Zehm case. She could have stopped it but chose to hide it. I hope the FBI lands on her like a 747.
Condon is a much better choice. Not sure what the libs have against him except that he’s not one of them. Rush, meanwhile, is a mess who never grasps the issues put before him. He’s got no business running with his obvious limited capacity. I watched last week on the computer as is my weekly practice. He looked absolutely confused. Snyder’s not much better.
Spokane needs some major governance help. I do hope the conservatives get out the vote. Hession is Daisy’s choice too….he knows what to do. Stuckart’s probably a nice guy but he’s just inexperienced. Not a clue.
I think it sets the tone of where Spokane will go for the next ten years….maybe more. I do know that Spokane won’t progress with the “bike and tree” agenda….and with the people running it.

Meanwhile,Vote for Condon..he’s not accused of a crime and the Feds aren’t after him. His water plan is simple: Don’t do what Verner and Rush did. Simple huh? Yes…it’s just that simple as the city returns to conservative representation…like the rest of America.
Vote Condon, Allen, Hession and Salvatori. DO I know them? Not all..but I’ve seen enough of these morons on Monday night.

How about people staying on topic?
If we keep voting the same loonies in time after time and expecting some kind of change is that not the definition of insanity? You really think these old recycles are going to change their spots?
Dennis “age spot” Hession was dumped by the voters, got a gratuitious holding pattern job at the MAC and is as mediocre an attorney as Joe ShoNuff. Whats an attorney that never goes to trial/hearings? A para-legal. What kind of pro-Boehner time has Hession done?
Salavatingori is just another carpetbagging know it all Californicator. Throw up a couple of fake name do nothing institutions and you all think he’s Warren Buffet on steroids. The dudes has as much depth as those god awful campaign pictures. His competition is just Rushdie in a shirt. You can see his puppet strings even in the dark.
Prop 1 is like a long bad joke. Even if you shorten it, its still a BAD JOKE.
I think the major difference between Allen and Rushdi is that even if he differs with you, Allen is willing to sit down and listen to and consider your opinion. Rushdi thinks he already knows the answer and isnt willing to listen and just babbles on and on and on. Like the energizer rabbit witihout a case of lockjaw.
Can we have an Exorcist take Verner back to before she was elected the first time? Tired of her spewing green stuff in front of the camera. Might as well have Linda Blair elected we get a good head spinning effect.
On Voting. I believe if you dont own property and pay property taxes, then why should you be allowed to vote on how the taxes you DONT pay are used. As having no kids, I get real tired paying taxes for the education of those who irresponsibley punch out a passle of brats. Education should be like a toll bridge and perhaps if those people with kids paid for their education we would have less loser kids wandering around the malls.
Time we got rid of daylight savings time. How many other countries do this non-sense?

Well…’another perspective’ you’re on your way to becoming just another cheap crabby old fart…..which really means you don’t really have much of ‘another perspective’ at all!

My landlord pays his property taxes with the rent money he receives from ME!

Misjustice…to achieve full ‘cheap crabby old farthood’ one must constantly allude to ‘food through the bull’ and other bovine intestinal aphorisms popoular with Dick Adams (who I somewhat admire as an authentic curmudgeon, rather than some ‘johnny come lately’ who only recently picked up the banner).

SC, I fully agree; I love DickA!
Although some may interpret my agreement and my affinity for Dick as so much undigested food through the bull!

Luv U 2, Sweetheart. I`d say most of the time I agree with your (clever) great comments. I feel confident your hubby would not beat up a 82 year old because of his feelings. I`d be afraid to invite to a quick stop for a plastic bottle of pop and a snickers candy bar. The SPD might be watching me.

MisJ You love what? LOL (it looks kinda funny, sorry)
OK gang, remember how we were during Otto. How bout we try and keep the peaceful conversation. I realize there are a few on here that will never be civil, but cant we all try. I will vote for the fiscally conservative, who ever they may be, except when it comes to anyone who was backing the popo in relation to the Otto case. Then, its all about getting rid of them. We cant loose, there.
So, down with Verner, down with stupid spending, up with responsible spending. And, up with anyone who will pursue the unlawful/lying cops, and put them in prison. Also, up for the one that allows the taxpayers to have oversight on our police. The good cops will continue on as usual, the bad ones will either quit, or be fired.

Even though Hession was mayor and was the first person in the cover-up, Verner was a councilwoman at the time and received a copy of Roco Treppiedi letter lying to every one and claiming the SPD did nothing wrong and even blaming Otto for what happened. That was a big red flag. More especially after the citizens were up in arms about Otto being murdered. Talk about a hot button issue still brewing when Verner was sworn into office. The injustice battle cry by the citizens should have moved Verner to immediately taken action and comfort all of the concerned citizens had and being an attorney, the light bulb should have should have shined like a 1000 watt photo light bulb at her.
