Public Camping: Banned
On October 27th, just eight days before Election Day, Spokane City Council unanimously passed the “Safe and Accessible Spaces” ordinance, giving Spokane Police officers discretion to offer services or citations to suspects found camping on or obstructing public property. During an interview, Spokane Chief of Police Kevin Hall discussed how the new ordinance changes officers’ standard procedures and, primarily, their discretion to issue disciplinary measures to violators. “With the previous ordinance, we had zero treatment engagements,”said Hall. “Since this ordinance came into effect…It’s been 10 days, we’ve had 34 successful engagements.

Twenty One going on Twenty Two
Turning 21 is one of those experiences that is supposed to be a big deal. At least that’s what I’m led to believe. It’s weird I’ve never gone with what society has told me I’m supposed to do. I never went to prom, I didn’t get a car that was truly mine till about six months ago. Technically, being Editor in Chief of this paper is my first real job.
