Commissioner stands apart

Sat., Aug. 21, 2010

I have lived through decades of watching Spokane County commissioners that have routinely gone against the interests of county residents. Squandering dollars on unwise investments, building temples where none should be built, allowing unwise development to please their financial or personal pals to the injury of our greater community.

One commissioner has stood out in those decades in serving the whole community, not just special pals and interests. One commissioner has stood out in pushing for wise development. One commissioner has stood out in the fight to make sure the others spend and tax responsibly. That commisioner is Bonnie Mager, and she will be getting my vote in November.
