Selfish Spokane Valley leadership

Sun., Oct. 20, 2019

A building that was built as a boondoggle cost almost $15 million so the city officials could feel impressive in a show building.

Now, not long after it was built, “the $500,000 estimated project cost is conservative.” Too many city streets that need them don’t have sidewalks. In the winter, city plows cover what should be workable sidewalks with snow.

In so many ways, the supposed leadership is looking out for themselves and not for how to best help the working class in this city.
