This letter is not a personal attack on anyone. It is based on the belief that tax dollars should be spent wisely.
My husband recently went to the MultiCare emergency room — twice, once due to failure of the treatment at the Urgent Care — and when we first arrived they had us sign paperwork.
The City Council of Black Diamond has an opportunity to have a desperately needed fire station in the older part of the city paid for by YarrowBay.
I think that it is great that the teachers and some of the sport teams from Tahoma High School would go stand out in the cold weather for a couple hours a day urging everyone to vote.
Congratulations to the mayor-elect and council members-elect for their victories. Each of them will have a share of the future of Black Diamond in their hands. Please remember that our public safety is their number one priority.
There are Good Samaritans in our community. God Bless them all.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the voters of the city of Black Diamond for their confidence in retaining me on the City Council.
When County Executive Dow Constantine proposed his 2014 Executive Budget Sept. 23, we were pleased to see funding was included to re-open the Hicks – Raburn Maple Valley Sheriff’s Office Precinct on Highway 169.
I would like to give my opinion about the Covington City Council Candidate Joseph Cimaomo Jr.
There is nothing that can’t be cured by getting to know people.
Remember years ago when the city of Black Diamond sent out a questionnaire to see what kind of town the residents wanted going forward?
Dave Gordon is smart and capable. He has common sense and a variety of experience and he brings exactly what we need to the mayor’s office.
The Maple Valley City Council endorses Tahoma School District’s construction bond Proposition 1. We encourage our citizens to become informed and to vote on this proposition on Nov. 5.
Wow! I am truly amazed the (Tahoma) School Board’s crystal ball is telling them that our local economy has improved to the point that they can add another 70 million to the 125 million bond they purposed a little over two years ago — which failed with only a 53 percent yes vote — and it will pass without a problem.
It is urgent that every voice in this valley speak up by voting yes on the Tahoma bond coming Nov. 5.
We need to get rid of the mayor and her group of council members who think like she does about YarrowBay. We need to vote out Mayor Olness and vote in the three reform city council candidates.
I write these words to encourage each of you to truly take time to think about the future of Black Diamond.
On Nov. 5, our community will have a choice to make. It has the responsibility to choose whether to invest in its award-winning school district or to let it continue to deteriorate and fall into disrepair while placing students and families on schedules that are not ideal or conducive to the quality learning the district prides itself in offering.
The only necessary service of city government is public safety.
We need someone who cares enough about Maple Valley to continue to invest the considerable time needed to make a difference in our community.
