The principle behind the policyEducation,
Education,
Not Regulation.
A free society depends on people who can govern themselves. My first instinct is to teach, explain, and equip people to make responsible decisions.
Restrictions have costs: staff, money, enforcement, and lost opportunity. Before adding another rule, government should ask whether better understanding would solve the problem.
Teach the why.
Help people understand the consequences of their choices.
Trust their agency.
Treat citizens as capable adults with a stake in the outcome.
Expect responsibility.
Hold people accountable for the harm they cause.

Military service taught me that decisions carry consequences. Teaching taught me to explain the reasoning. Family and faith remind me who those decisions are meant to serve.
Here in Spokane Valley, that means paying attention, asking direct questions, and showing up when neighbors need to be heard.
