Not an April Fool’s joke, in spite of the date, Clark County Republican Steven Cox announced today that he is throwing his hat in the ring for Mayor of Vancouver.
If you are unfamiliar with Steven Cox, don’t feel bad. So is a lot of Vancouver.
Disappointing to see Steven Cox starting off his campaign by making a dishonest claim against his opponent that she voted to double her salary.

“I made a contract with the voters, and part of that contract was the salary,” said Councilor Anne McEnerny-Ogle, who is mayor pro tem. “(A raise) doesn’t work for me and for my position and for my contract with the citizens.”
Some Vancouver councilors would refuse salary hike
Public outrage, including former Mayors and sitting members of the City Council saw this ridiculous increase negated and reset to a little more reasonable 4% increase.
Salary commission approves 4 percent raises for mayor, councilors
Mr. Cox should issue an apology to Ms. McEnery Ogle
