City Not Planning On Extending Street Bond Program
With the City of Spokane's Street Bond program coming to an end, Mayor Condon says he's not interested in another bond issue to continue the program.
Why? He says the bonds to finance the projects over the past ten years won't be paid off until 2024, which may not be the best use of taxpayer money.
He's got another idea to finance road work instead.
