Blame the newspaper
Spokane County Commissioner candidates faced each other in a debate yesterday that was aired on KSPS. Commissioner Shelly O'Quinn and challenger Andrew Biviano touched on a variety of topics including criminal justice reform, the mental health system and cutting budget costs. And then O'Quinn blamed the Spokesman-Review in part for deterring employers from coming to the region. (Spokesman-Review)
(Update: O'Quinn says she was not attacking the newspaper and that her comments about political divisiveness were misinterpreted.)
