An end to hand-slaps

Are you tired of watching the criminals get a slap on the hand? Or not even being charged with a crime? I have heard that the joke amongst criminals is to make sure their crime is committed in Washington, not Idaho.

It is time to get a prosecutor in office that will actually prosecute these people. Jim Reierson will stand up and fight for the citizens of Spokane County, not just the high-profile cases but all cases.

Property crimes, car thefts, violence assaults on innocent victims are on the rise. Jim Reierson is an experienced prosecutor that will hold these criminals accountable. Jim’s vast experience with JAG in the Air Force and his many years with the prosecutors’ offices in Walla Walla County and Kootenai County is exactly what we the people need. We need to get back to the mindset of “don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”

Vote for a man that truly believes in law and order. Jim is not bankrolled by any political party or by defense attorneys. Regardless of your political party, Jim needs your vote for county prosecutor.
