Recently my wife and I had the pleasure of meeting JJ Johnson and his lovely wife, Sheryl. We were invited to dinner by a common friend. We had never met JJ or knew anything about him other than reading in The Spokesman-Review that he had filed for Spokane Valley City Council.

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Karen Kearney for over 10 years in the northwest part of Spokane. During that time, she has worked continuously to make this area of Spokane better and safer for all that live here. During most of that time she has been a neighborhood council chair, working on traffic calming improvements, issuing dump passes and doing good deeds for the sake of her community.

Something has to be asked, and I guess I’m the one to ask it.

Regarding Cynthia C. Lambarth's letter ("Busing isn't the answer," June 27) on our city of Spokane not being Chicago, the Bronx or Seattle.
