This is so wasteful of time and public funds! This group of primadonnas who seem to be drunk with power are making our city the laughingstock of the region! I'll be watching for Swanson's GOFUNDME account so I can contribute to the cost of her legal fees! Fight, Kris, Fight!

If you can show up to Wednesday’s meeting to support Kris Swanson, please do. She needs our support. Erik Halvorson is not fit to serve in a public office. If anyone should be fired, it’s him.

It appears that accountability is not something that these newly elected leaders are ready to deliver. These are potential mini-Putin's in our mix that kneel on Sunday but have egos and ideas that blind them to their own madness. Tragic.

I haven't lived here long, and we're in Kelso, but it hasn't taken me long to gather just this sadly.

This fiasco will end very badly and cost Longview millions in damages and lost business. Who’d want to open or relocate their business here? Definitely not me!

Spencer complaining that the city should have searched for someone more qualified is hypocritical at best. Kris Swanson is a more than qualified professional and we're lucky to have her. Moving forward with this vendetta isn't the "gotcha" they think it is.

If she’s being fired without cause, doesn’t that make paying her severance package a misuse of city funds?
