I’m a Spokane-based journalist with a passion for local-level public interest journalism. I’ve covered state lawmakers’ recent attempt to exempt themselves from public disclosure statute, how the Seattle Mariners threatened to not renew their lease at Safeco Field if they didn’t get $180 million in public funds,  and the detrimental impacts of cash bail on poor defendants in King County courts. Currently, I cover cops, courts, and county government for the Inlander in Spokane, WA, as a staff writer.
