Lopez needs to ensure that the members of our county council represent all the islands and have strong countywide knowledge and perspective.
This letter intends to express my support of Lovel Pratt for county council. As many of you know, the solid waste (garbage) facilities on San Juan Island and the entire county have been experiencing issues for quite some time.
I first met Greg Ayers in early December when I responded to his Letter to the Editor, inviting locals to meet with him as he considered running for county council. Never one to turn away from an interesting opportunity, I took him up on his offer, and I’m glad I did.
Listening to the candidates for county council at the Eastsound Firehouse on 1-26-2013, brought out again and clearly that Greg Ayers offers outstanding qualifications and experience.
I enthusiastically support Rick Hughes in the upcoming primary election!
Rick has a deep understanding of our islands. His family has a long history here, which gives him a good sense of what has come before, how we got here, and why it matters.
I have had the privilege of collaborating with Greg Ayers for many years in the field of bio-medical engineering. Greg provided valuable assistance in working with the FDA, to obtain approval for the AED (automatic external defibrillator), developed by our team for citizen response to cardiac arrest.
Greg Ayers will bring a wealth of practical problem solving business experience to the San Juan County Council.
San Juan County is fortunate in the three candidates to be considered from Orcas when voting in the primary on Feb. 2. All are good people who are genuinely concerned about and have contributed significantly to our island community.
Many concerned citizens from San Juan County have submitted comment letters regarding the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal Project at Cherry Point, Wash., On Nov. 3, 2012, there was an important scoping hearing at the Friday Harbor High School for this project, and the turnout was over 400, as reported in the Journal.
We are writing to you to express our support for Lovel Pratt in the upcoming county council election.
I watched online or attended every council and public meeting as the San Juan county council deliberated for months about awarding the solid waste contract for Orcas.
We are writing this letter in support of Lisa Byers for San Juan County Council. We are fortunate to have such a candidate. She is strong and principled, yet an effective negotiator. What’s more, she is an administrator with an impressive track record.
I write to recommend Lisa Byers who is seeking office #2 on the county council. I think she is an outstanding candidate for that office who will serve the public well.
