Spokane Valley councilman Mike Kelly sparked controversy at a city council meeting, expressing concerns about an $8.4 million federal grant for home rebuilding in Medical Lake. Kelly, drawing from a Minnesota fraud scandal, emphasized the need to protect federal funds from abuse, particularly by Somalians. His remarks caught fellow council members off guard, but some understood his caution due to the high-profile case. The recovery groups executive director, Craig Sanders, defended their strong track record and careful tracking of funds. The Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee will soon decide on grant approval.
