Just to update folks on my PRR War with the City I thought I would let you know I have received two more Nissen Affidavits, one from City Attorney Nancy Isserlis, and one from Interim Chief Rick Dobrow. They are both linked below. The City Attorney’s Affidavit I find interesting for a number of reasons, but it is something other reporters should take careful note of.
As you know not everyone involved have provided Nissen Affidavits including these folks;
Mayor David Condon
Fire Chief Bobby Williams
Monique Cotton
Lt Mark Criffiths
Frank Straub
Leroy Eadie
Teresa Sanders
Brian Coddington
Heather Lowe

An important date to keep in mind is the date of my original PRR September 5th, 2015. The date will become important later, but for now just recall that my September 5th PRR, unlike Nick Deshais PRR included all of the necessary request elements, and I did receive on September 29th,2015 text messages between Straub’s secretary Angie Napolitano and Monique Cotton which laid out what was going on long before the election. I did report on those text messages long before the election and offered what I received via my PRR to the SR who never took advantage of the offer. Like any good investigative reporter, I reported what I had to my readers prior to the Mayoral Election, the SR of course did not.

For those of you who may have forgotten I received this anonymous letter in the mail, which I also offered to all of the local media but have only been taken up on the offer from out of town media.
Below I have copied some important RCW cites for readers to consider regarding the ongoing “Independent Investigation” being conducted by a consultant for the Spokane City Council. The RCW cites are some of the things any investigator worth their salt would take into consideration when conducting the type of investigation, she is responsible for. It is import for me to reiterate that the City Council by virtue of the City Charter has subpoena power and the power to take sworn statements, if as Citizens we find that those two powers were not used during the investigation we all will know just how legitimate the investigation was. The Condon Administration is now requiring our elected City Council Members to obtain the information regarding what the Administration is actually doing via a PRR rather than being open and transparent with our elected representatives (Intermodal Precinct Issue is but one example), I of course have offered what I have which is very telling and the Nissen Affidavits are of course critical to their investigation as is all of my documented interaction with Ms. Pfister, Ms. Farnsworth, and Mr. Dalton.
I would like to welcome David Wasson as a new follower, it will be helpful for him in his new position since my columns are untainted by political ideology it may give him a clue as to how the media should handle issues.
