Spokane Mayor David Condon issued the following statement about the City Council’s rejection of Evan Verduin’s reappointment to the City’s Plan Commission:
“Although I am disheartened from time to time by what is said in the public about my official work as mayor, I cannot let that stop my drive to engage and collaborate with citizens of differing views to continue to grow and move our city forward. It was my hope that Mr. Verduin would be evaluated on the quality, value and expertise he brought to this volunteer commission during his first term. I am disappointed in the City Council’s decision not to reappoint Mr. Verduin despite the confirmation of the president of the Plan Commission that he was qualified for the position.”
