In this election, it’s important to remember that there should be more substance to the next 2nd District county commissioner than another promise of “more jobs.” We have all had to squeeze more out of every dollar as costs rise; while income has leveled or even dropped for Spokane County. At this time, we need someone with a solid knowledge of the county’s budget and the backbone to make the hard decisions that Spokane County is already facing.
