Spokane's angry wind is back (and other news stories from today)
Windstorm II: Everyone Knows It's Windy
The sequel is rarely as good as the original, but Spokane expects another big windstorm today, KREM says. The winds will be 10 to 15 miles an hour less than last time, but since the soil is so waterlogged and the tree roots are already weakened, it could cause more trees to fall.
Straub's Homework Due Date
Former police Chief Frank Straub remains the highest-paid employee in city government. So what exactly has he been doing with all that time? The Spokesman-Review investigates.
Unpaid Leave
The Spokane Police Guild president has officially been placed on unpaid leave after allegedly leaking the news of a search warrant to an officer suspected of raping a female officer, the Spokesman-Review says.
Petition of grievances
Spokesman-Review columnist Shawn Vestal writes about how the sponsor of Spokane's so-called "Sanctuary City" petition now wants nothing to do with it.
Body count
The FBI is going to start to tracking officer-involved shooting statistics much more closely.
"Whatever good you do, God is aware of it."
Muslim groups have raised more than $100,000 for the victims of the San Bernardino shooting.
"Respect its cultural authority"
