Time to clean Valley house

Sat., Oct. 28, 2017

Caleb Collier, Mike Munch and Ed Pace are part of the alt-right gang on Spokane Valley City Council that tried to ram a six percent utility tax down our throats last spring without allowing public input until it was shouted down by angry residents when the word got out. Now they have the gall to send out fliers and robo-calls touting “Lower Taxes” and “More Freedom.”

It’s time for our city to clean house and elect representatives who will work for us and not some outside political agenda. We need transparency and accountability from our council. Show these guys the door.
