Spokane County Voters - we desperately need a 13th Superior Court Judge. The State Legislature approved this back in 1997 but the County Commissioners have never voted to approve. . When asked if the current candidates support adding another judge, here are the results:
Plese - yes
Jordan - inclined to support
Cathcart - yes
Waldref - inclined to support
Schreiner - no response
Kerns - no response
Noble - yes
Kuney - no response
Yates - yes
French - no response

In my opinion any candidate that doesn't see the desperate need for another judge doesn't deserve your vote. So please vote for a candidate that supports adding another judge.

A Spokane man was recently found guilty of insurance fraud after his case went to trial in Spokane County Superior Court.

Ivan Kriger (also known as Evaun Syrah Solomon), of Spokane, Wash., was recently convicted of insurance fraud for a case investigated by Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler’s Criminal Investigations Unit (CIU). The jury in Spokane County found Kriger guilty of attempted first degree theft and filing a fraudulent insurance claim. Kriger was also ordered to serve 10 days in jail, six months in community custody and pay $800 in court fees.

According to CIU's investigation, Kriger filed a claim with Grange Insurance stating that a pipe had burst in a house he was renovating and caused $18,886.50 worth of damage. Grange investigated and found that the house had been declared a nuisance property by the City of Spokane and had previously been boarded up. All the damages were pre-existing Kriger’s purchase of the property and could not have been caused by a burst pipe since the water had been shut off by the Spokane Water Department prior to the supposed loss. Grange insurance denied the water claim and referred it over to CIU, as required by state law.
