Fagan brings a record

The Spokesman-Review

I am thrilled to hear that Mike Fagan will be campaigning for a seat on the Spokane City Council.

He has served on numerous community committees and councils: i.e. president, Regional Boundary Committee; Region 15 PTA legislator; president, Bemiss Neighborhood Council; president, Hillyard Community Block Grant Steering Committee; precinct committee officer; president, Spokane Sister City Association. In these endeavors Mike has given unselfishly of his time and efforts to make Spokane a better place to live and raise a family.

He has also worked diligently for the past 10 years for lower taxes and a more responsible government for the taxpayers in Spokane and in Washington state: i.e., $30 license tabs, lower property taxes, performance audits, just to name a few.

To have someone of Mike’s caliber representing the citizens of Spokane will be like a breath of fresh air.
