Council Races Could Shake Up Local Transportation Politics

Things could be changing around here come the first of the year... or not. The SRTC Board has two Spokane City Council members on it, and everytime new council members are voted in, new assignments are made as to whom will sit on what boards. Nancy McLaughlin is on our board and made a strong showing in the primary last night, so we may retain her. The other member up for releaction is Mike Allen, who is running a close second to Jon Snyder at this time. Allen isn't on our board, but if he loses his seat, things will definetely change if the very pedestrian/bike-friendly Snyder gets in there. All kinds of things could happen between now and the election in November, but
here's how things are looking right now as far as local races go.
