Recall Sullivan, not Tucker

Sun., Dec. 25, 2011

Yes, Shannon Sullivan was able to successfully recall Mayor Jim West, and we lost one of Spokane’s best mayors. The public never truly understands the job of the mayor, and now our prosecutor. The media put out information, just negative enough to get our attention, and never the entire true story. We lost a great mayor to this woman and now she is trying to get rid of a very good prosecutor, again without the facts. Please do not sign this petition. It is too bad we cannot do a recall on Sullivan.
