I received a flier from Mike Fagan, who is running for Spokane City Council. In it he mentions his tie to Tim Eyman, who has done more damage to public service in this state than anyone. The people supporting Envision Spokane should beware of voting for someone who may subscribe to Eyman’s views on helping fellow citizens. The rest of us should beware also. Amber Waldref would be a much better choice.
