The Falls

The mayoral campaign is beginning to eat its tail – what we’re hearing sounds increasingly like the politics of politics, rather than philosophy or proposals.

Best of all, there’s an invigorating debate over which candidate is really the mudslinger. Always helpful.

Here are a few things we’ve “learned” about the candidates:

Mary Verner might make a fine mayor, if she wasn’t skipping votes on asphalt purchases all the time.

Dennis Hession might make a fine mayor, if he wasn’t a dishonest racist.

Mary Verner might make a fine mayor, if she didn’t want to bring tribal casinos into downtown Spokane

Dennis Hession might make a fine mayor, if his wife wasn’t busy throttling his critics.

Mary Verner might make a fine mayor, if she wasn’t such a mudslinger.

Dennis Hession might make a fine mayor, if he wasn’t such a mudslinger.

OK. That should just about do it. Now go vote, Spokane.
