More Info: Clay Larkin won’t run for Post Falls mayor after all. Larkin announced in March that he would run again in November, but on Monday reversed course, citing a desire to retire and spend more time with his wife, Deanna. “She’s been very patient for a lot of years; now we need to spend more time together,” said Larkin, 77. “I wrestled with the decision for a while, but, after I thought about it, it’s the right thing to do at the right time. The city is a well-oiled machine. I want to thank the citizens and staff for their support over the years.” Larkin will complete his 13th year as mayor when his term ends in January. He is the city’s 36th mayor. Larkin was a City Council member for five years before that.
