The "75% Leadership Pledge"
75% of Spokane voters backed Proposition 1
A pledge from City Council candidates for safe sidewalks, ending camping on public spaces, and enforcing laws to stop open illegal drug use. In 2023, 75% of Spokane voters backed Proposition 1, demanding safe sidewalks and public spaces. The proposition was overturned on a technicality by the Washington State Supreme Court.
