Prop. 1 is recycled

Thu., Oct. 20, 2011

Proposition 1 has a strangely familiar smell. I did a little looking and it appears to be 100 percent recycled garbage from 2009! I guess you can’t blame Envision Spokane for trying to reduce, reuse and recycle some of their scheme, but sometimes garbage is just garbage.

Prop. 1 will put people out of work, stop new jobs from coming here and add more red ink to the city budget with endless lawsuits and lawyers’ fees.

Voters rightly tossed the Envision Spokane initiative two years ago, and it’s time to do it again. Join me in adding Prop. 1 to the trash heap of history.
