Return the people’s voice

Tue., July 23, 2019

It is the purpose of elections to have a person in power to represent your interest and desires. The present (Spokane) City Council seems not to think so and makes decisions according to their own ideas. Hence we have Spokane becoming a sanctuary city, and no money being allocated for street repair.

A vote for Mike Fagan for city council president and Tim Benn to a seat on the council will bring a return to the people’s voice and choice in our city government. Please vote!
