| Written Voters' Pamphlet Statement Submitted by Candidate | |
|
Four years ago, voters made a choice that changed respect for our people, our police, our city. Four years later, could voters mistake nice platitudes for principle, Sound Transit for traffic solution, oppressive laws for civility? Yes, you might. Like you and contrary to the lies misrepresenting what I believe, I am against aggressive panhandling, blocking access to stores or sidewalks, public urination and such uncivil conduct. I am stronger in my defense of constitutional liberties and for law enforcement that is constitutional and compassionate. The next mayor, and city council, could make laws more oppressive, driving minorities, racial, gender, or economic, into desperate corners - and violence. No other issue is more important than restoring respect for each other, for our communities, police, and city. Choose the next mayor to do this. Ask: can he bring justice and understanding to all our diverse communities? Consider my history: populist advocate, organizing and training low-income black, white, native people, supervising funding for anti-poverty organizations. WTO planning? I learned planning as a young lieutenant in Headquarters Far East Air Forces during the Korean War, business planning as a canning company executive, geopolitics graduating from Georgetown University, land use, roads, parks, environmental issues as a city councilmember and neighborhood activist. I've worked at jobs like other common people; politics came later in life. I ran clean campaigns without daily newspapers and special interest groups doing the negative work for me. Seattle media don't have to protect me from attacks for losing millions in public monies. I am against proposed traffic solutions that would destroy Seattle neighborhoods with expanded freeways or people-killing ground-level rail or raising taxes and tolls to pay for tunnels. With those solutions, never will so many pay to enrich so few. I have supported the monorail using existing rights of way. I want accountability for the financial debacle called Sound Transit. These are not nice times: our city needs courageous honesty. To make things different, I need your vote to become mayor for all the people who live in or work in Seattle.
