04/11/2006: "Skullfucking SCAPCA"

Turns out that the building where SCAPCA is housed may be for sale.

A tense debate Monday morning between Spokane County Commissioner Todd Mielke and Dr. Kim Thorburn, Chief Health Officer for the Spokane Regional Health District.

The controversy surrounds talk of selling the Health District building. A local developer asked county commissioner Todd Mielke if the county ever considered selling or trading the building.

According to Mielke, Dr. Thorburn began publicly making comments and speaking out against the possible sale, even though the board she reports to had yet to take a position.

Mielke said the county will examine the current appraisal and then pass that along to the developer.

Then it will be up to the developer to make an offer.


For those of you who don't follow the local politics, Todd Mielke is the county commisioner who helped oust Eric Skelton, the former head of SCAPCA. SCAPCA's offices are on the second floor of the Health District Building, and SCAPCA doesn't have the budget to go elsewhere if the Health District doesn't allow them to remain there, rent-free. Dr. Thorburn was one of the only people who backed Skelton while he was being run out of town on a rail.
