Tompkins is tough, fair

Oct. 29, 2016 Updated Mon., Oct. 31, 2016 at 9:01 a.m.

Linda Tompkins is a committed community judge who is fair, expedient, tough and is cognizant of the costs incurred in our community by the perpetrators of crime. Judge Tompkins is doing her part making those tough decisions that keep the criminal off the street and our community safe. She is especially helpful to our Liberty Lake police force that needs a warrant signed in the middle of the night in their effort to fight crime.

A number of attorneys that support her competitor do so because they do not wish to appear before her knowing she is tough. Isn’t that exactly what we law-abiding citizens should demand from the bench? Please join me in voting for Judge Linda Tompkins. She truly works for you.

Mayor Steve Peterson
