Steve Corker
for Spokane City Council
President

Steve's goals are simple to understand: to improve police and fire protection services; to continue efforts to insure an open City government; continued repair of our streets and infrastructure; to create new jobs that will develop a strong economy; to stop government waste; and to restore confidence in the strong mayor form of government. Steve is committed to job growth and to increased economic development.

"We must increase City Revenues to provide better services, but not through tax increases."

"The Spokane River and Spokane Aquifer must be protected. Our lives and our economic future depend on both!"

"We must restore funds lost to our police and fire departments. Public safety is, and must be, our number one priority."

"Open government is a must. Too many closed door decisions in the past have cost citizens millions of dollars!"
