So right they’re wrong

I can assure Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich that the FEMA political prisoner concentration camps that state Rep. Matt Shea is so concerned about up our way don’t exist. Their construction, however, would greatly assist many unemployed people in our area to provide food, clothing and shelter for themselves and their families.

On a serious note, Erma Bombeck wrote a book titled “The Grass Is Always Greener Over The Septic Tank,” and former Spokane County Commissioner Kate McCaslin, who is going to hold her nose when she votes for Matt Shea, might appreciate reading a copy.

In Stevens County, we have moderate, far-right and ultra-right Republicans. Shea has endorsed Wes McCart, of Springdale, and Steve Parker, of Northport, for Stevens County commissioner. Both are ultra-right candidates, and they remind me of the bold yet truthful statement that you can be so far right you are wrong.
