Snyder in Verner’s mold

Sat., Oct. 31, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

I am writing to urge you to vote for Jon Snyder for City Council, District 2.

Jon is a change we need on the council. He has good sense when it comes to the environment and development. He is a small-business man who knows the needs of business.

Most importantly, Jon has a social conscience that is akin to Mary Verner’s and, in point of fact, it is her seat for which Jon is running. We need someone who will follow Verner’s sensibilities.

Now, more than ever, we need people on the council who can balance the three Ps: people, planet and profit. Let’s elect Jon and help keep Spokane “near nature, near perfect.”
