Spokane will see a new face on the city council

Will Michael Cathcart bring a fresh perspective to the Spokane City Council.  This blog will be watching to see if he votes with his district or will vote with the rest of the current clowns.  At least he will not have Ben Stuckart giving the marching orders from the mayors office.  Will he get along with Nadine Woodward and Cindy Wendle if she ends up council president.  Michael we will be watching you and congratulations on your win.  Enjoy your next four years. 

Tim Benn campaigned the old fashioned way

The last time Spokane has seen a campaign where a campaign depended on contributions of individuals was over 20 years when Steve Thompson ran his city council campaign in 1997 only spending less than $700 and earning only 41 percent of the citywide vote.  Tim Benn will be a future asset for the city council.  This time he lost to Michael Cathcart. 

Spokane puts an anchorwoman in the mayors chair

Tuesday, November 5th the voters of Spokane decided Nadine.  You have served us for 30 years by giving us the news.  Now you we will give you the mayors office.  It is will be interesting to see what a political novice will do in the mayors chair.  She knows the media let's hope Spokane media will be nice.  At least we know where the Inlander will be in the next four years they will be reporting from the outside where they should be.  Let's shake up city hall.  Nadine does not fool around.  Spokane residents will be able to sleep at night knowing an anchorwoman is in charge.  She may want to get some ideas from Donald Trump how to govern.

Recall Dunleavy denied due to lack of evidence

Yesterday, November 4th, 2019 the Alaska Division of Elections rejected the Recall Dunleavy petition to lack of evidence now they are planning to force the division to accept the petition so the can start the second.  Remember this crowd wants to make sure you never get a full permanent fund dividend.  This is a campaigned fund by outside special  interest not Alaskans.

Religious shelter exempted from Anchorage Equal Opportunity Ordinance

Ruling from a federal judge says the shelter has the right to decide that the woman is pure in order to stay at the shelter.  Downtown Soup Kitchen is exempt from participating in the ordinance that allow drag queens from entering any bathroom they choose.  This action cost city taxpayers $100,001 that is $100,000 to the Alliance Foundation and $1 to the shelter. 

Revak appointment may not be confirmed til November

Alaska State Senate will wait til late November to confirm Josh Revak to the senate if Pop goes the Cathy Giessel decides that he could join their club.  It will be interesting if Josh Revak is chosen and not Laddie Shaw even though they both have the same thinking that both support a fully funded PFD.  But then having Josh would allow Pat Higgins to capture the seat in 2020 against a very weak Republican opponent.  The other reason is because by not confirming before then.  The governor will not be able to call a special session before the regular session.
