It has been a fairly quiet day today at Valley Voice headquarters, but we'll have a bunch of stuff for you in the paper tomorrow. I headed out to Newman Lake this week for a special meeting to get public input on a planned new fire station. The Newman Lake Fire District commissioners are considering asking voters for a small construction bond to replace the aging, too-small Station 1.

Reporter Lisa Leinberger attended a special West Valley School District meeting this week. The district is trying to get input from the public on which programs it can cut and which it should save. I checked in with the Spokane Valley Police Department on the most recent crime numbers recently. Some types of crimes are up; some are down.

So check in tomorrow and check out the stories I've mentioned as well as a few more.
