Good day, neighbors! Sean Peek here with the latest copy of the Spokane Daily. First, today's weather: Warmer with clouds and sun. High: 68 Low: 40. Here are the top stories today in Spokane: Current and former employees of Spokane Regional Health District spoke out about the negative relationship between staff and leadership within the district that has contributed to dozens of managers and executive leadership team members quitting in the last two years. One of the situations that led some staff members to speak out (anonymously for fear of losing their jobs) was the handling of Spokane County's isolation facility for COVID-19 positive community members. People who can't isolate at home after a positive test can be put up in a motel by Spokane County to avoid large outbreaks among some of the most vulnerable populations. SRHD staff immediately saw issues with dirty rooms, unsafe activities in the area, and a lack of privacy and security for clients staying there during their up to 10-day isolation periods but they were shocked when managers called to tell them not to put those concerns into emails.
