Mayor Olness and Dave Gordon are two very different individuals with very different ideas of the future for our city, so when it becomes time to fill out those ballots Black Diamond— who do you envision leading our city into 2014?
Don’t be fooled with false promises and let Dave Gordon and his followers turn Black Diamond into another Pacific!
The 50 or so folks who developed the plan behind the bond issue were focused on maintaining and improving the education of district students.
This election is critical for our entire area, not just Black Diamond.
Dave Gordon earned our votes because he says what he means and he means what he says.
There is another option available. The school district administration has determined how to handle the overcrowding should the bond not pass. The elementary schools will operate year-round on four schedule tracks. The junior high and high schools will run double sessions on a conventional school year.
Friends, community members, and voters, people have asked me about the Tahoma school construction bond, and I’m seeing what’s been published in the newspaper or via KOMO and KING5 and through the VOTE Committee.

I am prompted to write this letter based on a conversation with Black Diamond City Council Candidate Erika Morgan, who paid me a visit Sunday while I was watching the Seahawks game.

I am writing regarding the politics going on in Black Diamond. I am sickened by what one candidate is saying to get people to vote for him.
The Maple Valley Professional Firefighters formally announces their choice to endorse Victoria Jonas in her re-election for Maple Valley City Council, Position No. 6.
As we move forward, Maple Valley will continue to face many complex challenges that require experienced, proven leadership to ensure that our long-term prosperity and quality of life continue.
I am a strong supporter of Victoria Jonas for re-election to the Maple Valley City Council. Victoria brings stability, a wealth of knowledge, and a historic perspective of where we have been to lead us where we as a city want to go.
I have a hard time understanding how 28 percent of my income is not enough now! However, there are occurrences when infrastructure needs that are demonstrable, have financial limits and are administered by trustworthy public servants, that I can be persuaded. That is why I support the Tahoma School District capital improvement bond.
