Vote for Jackson

When it comes time for the Spokane Valley citizens to vote, I hope they remember Rod Higgins and Ed Pace were part of the Spokane Valley Council members who fired then-city manager Mike Jackson behind closed doors and cost the taxpayers of the Valley about a half-million dollars.

Pace and Higgins also blew the reserve funds that were designated to last us until the end of 2018. And I seriously doubt that the 6 percent utility tax on everything is off this council’s minds.

I like Chris Jackson. He actually believes that politicians should represent the people since we are a representative government. He goes door to door listening to what the voters want. That’s exactly what our forefathers had envisioned.

I hope Valley voters support this remarkable young man. Please think before you vote.
