Mayor David Condon
From sewer tanks to utility rates, outgoing Mayor David Condon spent two terms in office unrelentingly tackling the meat-and-potatoes matters of city government. At his highest points, Condon amassed a broad coalition to back investments that will have long-lasting impact. Look no further than the city’s plans for several new library branches or a newly-renovated U.S. Pavilion in Riverfront Park. And, yes, even the more than 20 overflow structures installed throughout the city to prevent contaminated wastewater and sewage from flowing into the Spokane River.
