Knowledge v. soundbites

Ben Stuckart has been gathering data, studying, listening to constituents and acting based on all this input for the last seven years. Spokane needs Ben, a person who has proven he uses thought, data, listening and reason when making decisions for Spokane’s “better future”.

Nadine Woodward talks about listening and solutions but from what we have seen, she draws general conclusions and decides on her positions based on a single comment or video. Woodward claimed that homeless people were being bused here to take advantage of our homeless programs although both The Inlander and KREM disproved that with facts. Imagine - facts! No listening, no confirming with data and apparently no studying an issue. One fear-based comment or video is all it takes!

If Woodward identifies her campaign issues by quickly jumping on a bandwagon, how might she govern? Likewise, we suspect. This is not what Spokane needs.
