Kerns part of solution

Sat., Nov. 5, 2016

Josh Kerns will bring a new and positive component to the Board of County Commissioners. I have known Josh for several years, and he represents the coming generation of those who are unafraid and willing to tackle the difficult task ahead. With his small-business experience, several terms as a capable legislative aid in Olympia and moral integrity, he understands what needs to be done for Spokane County economically, environmentally and socially.

In these times we face the continuing loss of good jobs and a growing pessimism that is taking its toll on the well-being of our county. If anyone is going to be part of the solution, it will be Josh.
