Skip the spin, vote Lamar

Latah County commissioner candidate Gabriel Rench lists his professional experience as a political television host and public relations consultant. I have seen enough television hosts and spin in politics to last me a lifetime.

If you are employed by the city or the county, a vote for Gabriel Rench is potentially a vote to defund your own employment.
 
If you have questions about our local property taxes, look at the Latah County Treasurer web page, they’ve got a great FAQ. Go to the source, skip the spin and skip Gabriel Rench. Vote Tom Lamar for Latah County commissioner this November.
