Spokane Mayor Advocates For NSC In D.C.

A news release out of the City of Spokane says Mayor David Condon was in Washington, D.C., this week to meet with Washington’s Congressional delegation, EPA officials, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors to discuss the City's priorities.

The release says Condon met with Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, as well as 5th District Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers and 6th District Congressman Norm Dicks to advocate for
Spokane’s most pressing needs, which include completing the North Spokane Corridor and addressing water and sewer infrastructure.
SRTC's Executive Director, Kevin Wallace, was also in D.C. this week as part of the delegation, although, as a government agency, SRTC doesn't advocate.  Kevin was there to educate and provide background.

Anyway, if you want to read about the Mayor's trip, here's a link to the City's news release.
