Spokane Money, Press & Politics
While the Spokane press drones on about the evils of money in politics, it appears they generally afford coverage to only those they favor or that purchase their advertising. Judging from previous elections, the daily paper in particular seems to have little interest in candidates that refuse to be conflicted by money and special interests.
I can’t blame Dave Condon for raising large sums of money, when considering the manner our current mayor uses city assets to promote herself; however, neither tactic benefits the Spokane community over the personal careers of individual candidates.
