CHENEY - Al French and I go back about 25 years to our days with the neighborhoods so I have had many years to watch his chameleon like transformation from neighborhood activist turned “developers best friend” once elected to Spokane City Council.
I have seen him pose as a Democrat to court city votes and then declare as a Republican to guarantee a win at the county level. I have seen him flip flop on his support for buying the toxic race track numerous times before eventually selling it for a song just as property values started to
soar.
And I was speechless as he repealed the negotiated profit sharing agreement with the Spokane Tribe to please his friends at GSI and oppose the Spokane Tribes application for their now very profitable casino.
Rumors of kickbacks and ethics charges are artfully dodged while Al takes credit for everything but the
weather.
You might shrug and say “just politics” but now Al has sent out a flyer that is full of bald faced lies not only about his questionable accomplishments but about his opponent Maggie Yates’ stand on the important issues facing Spokane County.
No wonder those Republicans who ran against him are now endorsing Maggie. Because, believe it or not, integrity and truth still matter. Go to http://www.electmaggieyates.com for the real answers. Al French is a disgrace. Thank God we have a real choice in Maggie.
