PFAs in Spokane's well water? Maybe recall a County Commissioner

Spokane County Commissioner Al French is facing a recall effort over his handling of disclosures of contaminated groundwater in the West Plains. 
 
The “Clean Water Accountability Coalition” is sounding the alarm about PFAS—sometimes called 'forever chemicals’—in well water. 
 
And let's not forget to mention that French is also running for re-election this year, adding another layer to the already heated debate.
