Between Sept. 23 and 24, close to 100 volunteers showed up at Harborview Park in southern Marysville to help get the local ecosystem going again, even though most of them don’t live or work in town.
In a recent editorial, I outlined the rationale for change in city leadership. My opponent, appointed to the mayoral position last year, has made some statements in response that bear closer examination. The 156th Street overpass will be paid for entirely with tax dollars. Any ‘partnership’ extended simply to the city charging property taxes to pay for the overpass. To the extent those taxes were paid by private entities and used by the city to build the overpass, it could loosely be defined as a ‘partnership’ — though I believe most would classify it as a tax.
Hypocrisy is “the practice of professing standards, beliefs, etc., contrary to one’s real character or actual behavior.” There doesn’t seem a more clear example of exactly this when one hears Pres. Obama’s words about “job creation” and then reads that under his administration, the EPA, in this case, will actually destroy 1.44 million jobs. So, is “job creation” just another word for “job destruction?”
I read with interest your op-eds in The Globe recently. There is a clear difference between you in the story of the sale of the old Coca-Cola building. Mr. Wright points out that the city commissioned a study after the property’s purchase, and then sold the main part of the property for a considerably lesser amount than that for which it was purchased. Mr. Nehring states that the property has been sold to Parr Lumber and that the price “recaptures the city’s purchase price for the building.” Which is it?
This letter is written in support for Marysville’s current Mayor Jon Nehring.vI have known Jon and his family for many years, we have worked in the community together, our children go to school together and we have coached our boys in baseball together. In short, he is a man who not only works hard for the residents of the city of Marysville; he is an active resident of the city of Marysville. He knows what our children are facing in local schools; his children attend there. He understands the needs of hard-working families because he interacts with many of those parents on a personal level through the community each week.
There’s been some confusion on the part of my neighbors regarding the mayor’s race in Marysville. While Jon Nehring is the current mayor, he is not running for re-election.
For 12 years I had the pleasure of sitting next to Steve Muller while he chaired the Marysville Planning Commission. How lucky we were to have a man with his integrity and well-rounded knowledge of our city. He was always prepared for the multitude of decisions that came before us. He put in countless hours on his own so he would have a grasp on the issues. He understands the city’s relationship to development as well as concern for the citizens. He is a lifelong resident with a deep love for our area.
