A third story on Cheney Mayor Allan Gainer's bid to replace Ninth District state Rep. David Buri was also cut short in the Nov. 8 issue of the Cheney Free Press.
A selection of three candidates was made on Nov. 10 and Gainer was not among those picked.
The top choice was Palouse Mayor Michael Echanove.
Colfax-area farmer Joe Schmick, and LaCrosse-area farmer and teacher Tedd Nealy were also nominated.
Commissioners from the six counties comprising the Ninth District will make the final determination as to who serves.
Buri stepped down last month as the district's representative to take up a position representing Eastern Washington University's interests to the Legislature.
Because Gainer was not selected as a finalist we chose not to rerun the article about his desire to seek the position.
