Spokesman-Review Editor Put on Leave Following No-Confidence Vote

The devastating Spokane wildfires are having a major impact on families just weeks before the beginning of the school year. Around 50 students at Indian Trail Elementary reportedly lost their homes in the fires, and school officials say that number could climb as they continue contacting families. More than 900 homes and other structures have been reported destroyed as communities begin the long recovery process. Gov. Bob Ferguson has announced an emergency declaration aimed at assisting residents and businesses affected by the fires, while organizations including the Red Cross work to help displaced families. Meanwhile, another major story is developing in Spokane as Spokesman-Review Executive Editor Rob Curley has been placed on administrative leave. Newsroom employees subsequently held a vote of no confidence, with more than 90% of participating employees reportedly supporting the measure. We break down the latest developments from Spokane, the wildfire recovery effort and the leadership turmoil unfolding inside one of Washington state's major newspapers. #Spokane #SpokaneWA #SpokaneNews #SpokaneFires #SpokaneWildfires #WashingtonWildfires #Wildfire #IndianTrail #IndianTrailElementary #WashingtonState #WashingtonNews #BobFerguson #WildfireRecovery #SpokesmanReview #Journalism #Media #WashingtonPolitics #CenterSquare #WashingtonInFocus Picture Credit: (Colin Mulvany/The Spokesman-Review)
