At the November 2007 election there will be two transportation measures on the same ballot. One requests funding for a Regional Transportation Investment District (RTID) list of road improvements. The second measure is for a Sound Transit (ST) list of projects. Edmonds Crossing, a proposal for a massive, new ferry terminal, is on both lists.
I am writing you today to point out how the view of the German Shepherd dog has changed over the years; how this typical American hero has been reduced to somewhat of a villain and how this has affected the characteristic American Dream. During World War Two, the German Shepherd was used to complete many tasks and quickly took center stage in many households.
Scott Solla, present Arlington City Councilman, loves his position. If you were not aware, he is running to retain his position No. 3 on the Arlington City Council. I would like to tell you about the man you dont know. Scott is not the type of person who will toot his own horn so I will toot it for him.
Graham Smith is the best candidate for the at large position on the Arlington City Council.

With 30 years in the financial industry, he has the knowledge and skills to make responsible financial decisions for our city.
I have been following your Community Report Card editorials with much interest over the past two weeks and I accept your challenge to weigh-in on this issue, particularly the Creativity Index section. Specifically you asked, Is the library checking out more books or fewer? This key question goes right to the heart of the Marysville Community and its interest in education and life-long learning. And Im happy to report that the answer is an enthusiastic yes. Marysville is reading more.
As my term as Fire District 19 Commissioner comes to an end, I would like to thank the people of the Silvana community for their support over the past 36 years. I am proud to have been able to serve the neighbors and friends of our small community.
After I had a conversation with my granddaughter this past weekend about the Patriot Act, I would like to submit to you these thoughts.
I am writing in support of Don Wlazlak for Position 2, Marysville School Board. Don has been an avid supporter of education issues in this community for many years. He has worked on levy and bond campaigns which benefit all the children in our schools.
Election day is Tuesday. Nov. 6. I look forward to receiving my ballot in the next two weeks in my mailbox. Snohomish County has adopted 100 percent vote by mail. Make sure your voice is heard.
As our community grows, Cascade Valley Hospital needs to expand and upgrade certain services or it will not survive.
I have lived in Arlington most of my life and I cant imagine our town without Cascade Valley Hospital and the services it has provided for so many years. However, it is time for these services to be up-graded and we now have the opportunity to make that possible on May 15 by voting Yes on Proposition 1.
My wife and I have been privileged to live and work in this great community that we were both born and raised in. A large part of the draw that keeps us here in Arlington is the quality of life that we all share. Our community provides us with great schools, hospital and medical services, city government, police and fire, parks, etc., that allows us a sense of ownership. Cascade Valley Hospital is a key and important part of the mix that we all call our neighborhood. Aside from providing excellent medical services, the hospital district brings over four hundred jobs to our area.
