Seattle has always believed in fairness. We believe that the family next door should have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. Curt Firestone has one objective - to ensure that Seattle is a compassionate, cohesive, well-managed city. Currently, Seattle is feeling the effect of a slumping economy and is going to have to make hard budgetary decisions. Curt Firestone understands your values. Our priorities must be: public safety and security while ensuring civil rights, human and health services, and maintenance of existing services. Curt Firestone will work closely with you, listen and make hard decisions in a way that will minimize their impact on your lives. Firestone has worked with the Monorail Board and campaigned to pass I-53, saving the monorail. His opponent, Jan Drago, voted to dissolve the Monorail Board. Firestone is for affordable well-maintained housing and protection of renter's rights. Drago voted against an ordinance designed to protect tenants from landlord harassment. SEATTLE NEEDS A CHANGE FROM THE PAST. WE NEED NEW LEADERSHIP. Now more than ever, we need Curt Firestone on the City Council. >Firestone will see the monorail built. It is economical and environmental. >Firestone will work to ease traffic congestion. >Firestone will seek affordable housing solutions for our homeless and for workers. >Firestone will work to lower our utility bills. Solar, wind, tidal and fuel cell power must be part of our future. >Firestone will work to reduce racism throughout Seattle. >Firestone will ensure that the Fire and Police departments are staffed and trained properly. >Firestone will open up city government to full citizen involvement and will appoint a constituent advocate to assist you in dealing with city government. >Firestone will work to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods with strong support for small locally owned businesses.
