Tim Eyman's latest venture to bankrupt Spokane - Initiative 1033

Initiative 1033 would further bankrupt Spokane. They tried this in Colorado and it took them years to undo, and not until communities teetered on the verge of destruction.

Hey, Don't forget that Mike Fagan is running for city council. He is Tim Eyman's right hand man. I am sure Mr. Eyman will be happy to have an inside guy in city hall. Can you imagine the phone calls between those two, if Fagan were elected? Fagan can report firsthand Spokane's destruction to his buddy, Tim.

Fagan's opponent is Amber Waldref. If she is in your district, please consider voting for her. Here is her site.

The union is endorsing Amber and is joining the WSCFF to ask for your vote AGAINST Intitiative 1033.

Local 29 is also endorsing Jon Snyder for city council. I've hung out with Jon lately. He's a smart guy. Here's his website.

If you are in Karen Kearney's district, the union is supporting her as well. Here is her website.
She has been a friend to public safety in Spokane for a very long time.
