(The Center Square) – After nearly two years in office, Mayor Lisa Brown reflected on the state of the city on Monday during an address to the Spokane City Council, drawing criticism from residents present.

The 30-minute speech highlighted the administration’s efforts over the past year amid ongoing budget gaps. Despite balancing a $25 million deficit in her first year in office, Brown faces another $13 million shortfall heading into 2026, which she attributes to uncertainty with President Donald Trump’s policies.
