Chase deserves re-election

As an independent voter, I have always put the value of good government over party politics.

As Spokane County commissioner, my personal experience with Rob Chase as county treasurer affirmed that Chase has the community’s best interest at heart. He recognized the need to reform state law so that those who fell on hard times could pay back their property taxes through partial payments. If not for him, many homeowners could lose their biggest asset if they can’t pay their back taxes in one lump sum.

Now, because of Chase, the county can take payments on back taxes and interest owed instead of foreclosing on those who can’t afford a huge balloon payment. Next on his agenda is a bill that would cut the exorbitant 23 percent interest and penalties charged on these back taxes to a simple 12 percent interest.

Good government means elected officials who work for us. Chase has a proven track record and has been effective at both the local and state level. He goes above and beyond his job description to deliver fair and responsive government for all. We deserve this kind of leadership in county government.

Spokane County deserves another four years of Rob Chase.
