09/28/2005: "Release the (marketing) hounds!"


Spokane, battered, bloody and knocked to the ground by too many scandals to re-list here, and held to the ground by one of the nations worst metro economies, has decided that its far better to light up the PR machine than actually fix the problems.

The five videos each feature a specific Spokane topic. They are quality of life, education, health care, Spokane business, and Fairchild Air Force Base.

Lets see:

Quality of life: non-existent
Education: lower quality than state and national norms
Health Care: you'll die sooner in Spokane
Business climate: failing
Fairchild AFB: slowly closing
