Matter of Opinion

The beat goes on

Installment 2 of our endorsement series for the Aug. 21 primary deals with the City Council seat in District 2, essentially the south side of Spokane. You can link to it here and then share your comments.
For what it's worth, a reader phoned yesterday, a little frustrated because he'd filled his ballot out and returned it without knowing we'd be publishing editorial endorsements in those races.
He apparently lives in District 1, because he said he learned some things from yesterday's endorsement of Donna McKereghan that he hadn't known. Would it have changed is vote? He wasn't sure, but he said it might have.
In future elections, we'll try to publish a schedule of upcoming endorsements before the ballots are mailed out.
