Don’t ask for our vote

Wed., Feb. 26, 2020

To the Spokane Public School Board:

If you have any question about the community not supporting any further board issues – don’t worry. We won’t!

64% of voters told you our choice to put the new youth complex at the Albi Stadium location, which has loads of parking and easy access. Now you are considering overriding our votes.

We’re not stupid. We did our due diligence and told you our decision. Please listen or we will never trust you again. Don’t ask!
