Valley council needs to go

At the last Valley council meeting, I got my three minutes to talk and raised a couple of questions. I left my email address and phone number for a response. Needless to say, I did not get a response. I then contacted a former council member to inquire about the protocol that they had and was told that after the meeting, the concern/question was forwarded to the appropriate department to work on the matter.

So I am not surprised that I did not get a response from this City Council. They seem to be more concerned with what Mr. Matt Shea wants and needs than to be concerned about the citizens of Spokane Valley.

Election is coming up and we do need a change but in order to get a change we need to get the current members voted out, so please take advantage of your privilege to vote, this is our chance.
