About 15 years ago I was on the library board in Arlington. We tried repeatedly to pass a bond to build a new library. It never happened. Their library is still the same grossly inadequate tiny building.
My decision to publicly oppose the bond election has not been made lightly. I have the deepest respect for those who have expressed their support; HOWEVER I feel that the school reconstruction bond is NOT financially responsible or necessary.
On April 23, Lopez Island citizens will be asked to approve a $15.5 million bond measure for a major school renovation project.
I am a strong supporter of public education and I support the Lopez Island School Bond proposal.
We are supporting the Lopez School Bond initiative. We understand the bond initiative is for the physical plant only, a plant that is in dire need of updating, that will provide the environment we all so desire for our educators, staff and students.
I’m writing to support Lovel Pratt’s candidacy for County Council, District 1.
The coming election for the new three members of the county council is one of the most important elections in the last few years.
Mike Carlson deserves our thanks for questioning Ms. Byers’ veracity concerning her philosophy of government. By doing so, he afforded Ms. Byers a wonderful opportunity to better inform the voters about her organizational experience and true philosophy of governance.
Jamie Stephens deserves your vote for the San Juan County Council. He has proven by his public service to date that his judgment and perspective extends to all the islands. But it is his breadth of interest in so many different facets of our island communities that makes him a stellar candidate.
Please join me in voting for Jamie Stephens for County Council District 3.
I support Lovel Pratt because of her proven record of working for all islanders. Her work for the Lopez solid waste solution was critical.
This year the Lopez Children’s Center will celebrate its 10th Birthday!
In about three weeks our ballots will arrive in the mail. We will have a county-wide election where we will elect three county council members, each of whom will represent the entire county (going back to the system we had five years ago). Everybody in the county will be voting for three candidates, one from each of the three residency districts.
