The end may be near for Spokane for Honest Government, the political action committee representing the firefighters union and other labor groups.

Because while politics is full of unholy alliances, this one is most germane to Spokane’s city government right now.
The signs of Spokane for Honest Government’s possible demise emerged last week.
