County beats dead horse

Tue., June 13, 2017

My first reaction to the “County plans lawsuit” headline was, really! Then I thought of an old saying, just how many times can you beat a dead horse? Our commissioners went to battle on this tribal casino issue and they lost. Now they want to spend our taxpayer’s money to a law firm in Seattle to keep beating a broken drum. Again, I say really, let it go, you lost, get over it.

My one hope is that the good people of Spokane County will remember this issue come next election day.
