I have uploaded all of the Hillyard Hobos except one, which I can't find. I'll get another copy and upload it. You'll find them under the 'Documents' page. Also, I've uploaded all of our past minutes that I have available. If anyone has any other old copies I'd love to scan them and put them up.

POLL #4: How Many County Commissioners Should We Have?
In the news this week...... former Spokane City Council candidate Karen Karney is preparing a petition to put to voters giving them the opportunity to raise the current number of commissioners from three to five. We started out with a three member commission in 1884 when Spokane was just getting started. We now have almost 500,000 souls residing within Spokane County's boarders. Radio station KQNT reported on air (if I remember right) that each additional commissioner would cost county taxpayers $100,000. They also reported that currently two commissioners cannot be together outside formal meetings because it would constitute a quorum. With a five member commission any two could debate publicly without it being considered a quorum. So the question is: Is now the time to make the change from three county commissioners to five? Also, feel free to leave a comment!
