The Cost of Spokane Government

MFS Citizen Slide

With the largest regional population base, Spokane should easily have the area’s lowest cost of utilities and overall government on per-taxpayer basis. We pay a big premium because Spokane has become the business of government and overwhelmingly dependent on tax flows and government fiat. This has fueled a flight of opportunity away from Spokane and drives urban sprawl as people migrate away from regulatory tyranny.

As Mayor I intend to shrink the footprint of government in people’s lives and wallets while returning better value to taxpayers suffering from assaults by politicians unmoored from economic responsibilities and their sworn oath.
