Thanks to Danek

Sun., Jan. 1, 2012

No matter how you voted in the last mayoral race, it is imperative that all of Spokane get behind the new administration of our city to try to move our city through a very difficult financial time. One of the biggest losses our city will experience in the transition is the leadership, integrity and positive attitude displayed every day by our city administrator, Ted Danek.

For all of us who have worked with Ted in his many endeavors, be they his military service, his work at the city or his charitable and community service, we saw true leadership and a man who understands accountability and lives to uphold the oaths he has taken.

Thanks, Ted, for all the hours of service and never losing focus on what is right for Spokane.
