(Editorial) There will be a proposition on your February 12 ballot to hamstring our Spokane City Council and make it harder for them to do their jobs. Prop 2 is a confusing idea what would allow a small minority (2 out of 7) sitting council member to stop some of it the most important work. It is undemocratic and unnecessary.
Here is a video of Ben Stuckart, President of the Spokane City Council asking for you to vote “No” on Prop. 2 in Spokane and against minority rule.
I am asking you to vote “No” on proposition 2. On February 12 we have an election, and Proposition 2 is a charter change to require a 5/7 majority or over 70% of the people elected to the Spokane City Council to change any existing taxes or any new taxes.
