Trying to sell Spokane amid the scandal

Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

A public relations firm regularly sends out advisories listing the latest economic development news items, particularly in tech-related businesses, from Spokane and the Inland Northwest.

Suppose that advisory landed on the desktop computer of someone from outside the region, someone who has never been to Spokane and might have only a limited idea of where the city even is, much less what it’s about. Someone who just might make decisions about new plant investments or business relocations.

What would be the first impression that would come to mind — the advisory’s message that Spokane is a happening place with a vibrant tech economy?

Or would it be … you know, that "other" story?
