An outsider’s perspective

Sat., Feb. 2, 2019

I don’t live in your fair city, although I have in the past and I do visit often to shop. All I know about the politics of Spokane is what I get from reading The Spokesman-Review.

From the article in the paper on Jan. 27, titled “Spokane has political standoff of its own,” I have formed an opinion that Mayor David Condon has his head on perfectly straight and the City Council has their heads somewhere else.
