Brower the clear choice

 

Like hundreds of others, I sat through the District 81 candidates’ debate. Brower is the clear choice. She’s clearly thoughtful and articulate. She has experience as a teacher and knows how to build good working relationships.

Sally Fullmer comes off as just another one-issue, angry tea partyer who is running only because an undisclosed Daddy Warbucks is funding her campaign from the shadows. Fullmer suffers from the same handicap as every tea party pretender: She wants us to believe the way to reform government is to destroy its capacity to govern.

This is the kind of nonsense that has gridlocked Washington, D.C., and cost us thousands of jobs and threatened millions of retirees’ benefits at the federal level. We don’t need tea party anarchists in local government. We’ve seen where that leads with our federal representatives.

    It’s shocking that the newspaper’s editors would allow this letter to be printed. Unsupported or unattributed accusations of misconduct are not allowed in newspapers - not even on opinion pages. Where is the proof that Sally Fullmer has failed to disclose campaign contributions? (Sally also doesn’t belong to the Tea Party.) This accusation is an unsupported smear — verging on libel. Allowing this letter to be published is proof positive that the SR has completely lost its journalistic way.

    Name call much, Jim? Adhominem must be your last name.

    What a mean-spirited, little man you obviously are……..

    Wavada is correct.
    Daddy Warbucks is Duane Alton (check your PDC reports). Yes the same Duane Alton that has given thousands to defeat every school levy to come along.
    Fuller, by any name, uses radical right-winger propaganda as evidenced by her Washington Policy Center talking points (even went so far as to print them off their site and offer up as campaign material at the LWV primary debate). If anyone doubts this, know that Penny Lancaster’s group gave her a 10 out of 10.
    IMO,Fullmer is actually just a NIMBY one-trick pony….using the admin salary debate, math curriculum issue and the holier than thou cabal to further her lawsuit against the school district for the audacity to relocate a school to her neighborhood.
    Nope, this is not a woman looking out for the best interests of Spokane public school children

    Lulu, go get Jim…I’m assuming you both work for District 81….or the union….and read babybre’s post of Oct 30th. He/she pretty much says it all.

  • WillyPeter on October 31 at 2:21 p.m.

    oops….search Jefferson Elementary and scroll down editorial of September 15.

  • Lulubelle on October 31 at 8:37 p.m.

    sorry Willypeter……never worked for, or for that matter belonged to, a union…..or any school district.
    What else ya got to try and discredit my comments……the facts sure aren’t on your side

    Lulu, I won’t spend time attempting to engage in intelligent dialogue with folks who are name-calling and mean-spirited.

    They “discredit” themselves.
