In Spokane, call 311, not Crime Check, starting Oct. 27 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before the end of October, people in Spokane will be able to call 311 instead of the county-run Crime Check to report non-emergencies to the city police or fire department. “Our goal here is to provide better service and a more integrated, coordinated response for the people of Spokane,” Mayor Lisa Brown said at a Tuesday press conference. It’s one of the earliest steps the city is taking as it slowly unwinds from the county-run 911 dispatch service and builds its own by 2028. Spokane 311 will s

Read excerpt
Spokane may soon enact another 0.1% sales tax increase to help pay for a new $18.5 million criminal justice campus, mental health-trained 911 dispatchers and other investments.

Spokane garbage bills to increase next year to pay for carbon credits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Spokane residents will start paying a few more bucks a month for their garbage service next year so the city can pay for carbon credits to offset the emissions from its waste-to-energy facility. Spokane has fought for years to exempt the energy-generating trash incinerator from the state’s Climate Commitment Act. City officials argue Spokane was unfairly singled out while the far more common landfills used by other communities – which also produce greenhouse gases – were exempted. If the city ha
