Price tag is a riddle

The Spokesman-Review

I have been researching the issues of Proposition 4. In my opinion it isn’t a great idea. I know it would lead to lower health care and housing costs, but where is all the money going to come from? The government would be very far behind and in order for them to keep up they might end up having to raise taxes.

I know the bill of rights for Spokane sounds like a great idea, but how would this really come out? I mean even the mayor of Spokane is against the issue.

More importantly, there are more important issues to worry about in our community than Proposition 4. The roads, for example, are a more important issue. In my opinion the issue of Proposition 4 would not be a good idea to keep our community in order.
