Sign of the times: Even in "green" Spokane, city council candidates now don't seem real keen on the global warming hoax

Spokane City Council candidates debate global warming - Spin Control - Spokesman.com - July 23, 2011

Mike Fagan:
I actively practice and support conservation, composting and recycling. I have been schooled and have hands-on experience with LEAN principles. I have had a hand in the creation of several community gardens in northeast Spokane, but, I do not and cannot support any taxation or regulation which has its roots in the “global warming” lie.

Luke Tolley:
...I support the actions of both mayors, not because of “global warming” and whatever that means to you, but because being good stewards to the earth makes common and economic sense.
...
Donna McKereghan:
Yes, I support climate protection. But, should we spend more money on climate control or creating a better climate for jobs? The best solutions would do both....Past decisions have often been narrow, short-sighted or made at the expense of other crucial concerns.

They fought over who was first on global warming. Hession noted he was "the first mayor in Eastern Washington" to sign on to a resolution calling for global protection and was named to a panel by the governor. Verner shot back that the City Council beat him to the punch, passing a quality-of-life resolution even earlier, adding "I'm really pleased that Mr. Hession has decided to get involved." To which Hession replied: "The quality-of-life resolution was drafted by my office and handed to her."
