The group of community members and public officials who have been meeting for seven years to push for criminal justice reform in Spokane County met for what is likely the last time Wednesday.
During that meeting, many members expressed frustration, saying they’re concerned the new group will not focus on racial equity and have less community input.
The County Commissioners voted to dissolve the Spokane Regional Justice Council and form a new, smaller council during their June 29 meeting.
