More government meddling

The Spokesman-Review

I am so glad to read that the city of Spokane has solved all its problems with potholes, budget shortfalls for the police, fire and teachers and how to fund the north-south freeway.

Now Mayor Verner is devoting her time and intellect to appointing a bus bench boss with a very sensitive right brain which can discern the proper design of bus benches, placement of benches and design of the advertising signs.

Folks, this is called socialism in which your government knows better than you how to do everything. Kiss freedom goodbye.
