I would like to address two things in Robert Brown’s Aug. 30 letter to the editor.
Editor,
We need to vote for Rick Hannold for Island County commissioner, District 3, this November. Here’s one big reason why: “Progressives” backing liberal Karla Jacks for the District 3 job are after Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
Editor,
Let me say right from the start that I completely, wholeheartedly and unequivocally endorse Rick Hannold for election to the District No. 3 seat on the Island County Board of Commissioners.
I strongly urge all of you who were so kind as to honor me with your votes in last month’s primary to cast your vote for Rick this November.
Editor,
Concerning Island Transit and Ms. Martha Rose, I feel I must acknowledge this issue.
I have never been a supporter of the free bus service.
Nearly all the buses I see are mostly empty, other than kids riding the free bus, rather than taking the taxpayer school bus along with other people with driving issues.
Editor,
South Whidbey Senior Services recently held a meeting with Island Transit staff to discuss paratransit service cuts.
Editor,
Here I go again. I am 96 years old and I’m not a mental giant like some of the leaders of the anti-Outlying Field group think they are.
Editor,
While it may be easy and entertaining to print letters insulting Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve, serious questions go unexplored by the Examiner.
In partial response to your Sept. 13 editorial on the Park and Recreation District, one must ask what help are you giving to build support for our community?
I am writing on behalf of Burley Funeral Chapel to thank those who helped us Sept. 7 to place nearly 3,000 flags in the lawn at our funeral home.
The Military Appreciation Picnic at Windjammer Park last Saturday was a resounding success.
For years the North Whidbey Park and Recreation board of directors consisted of either parents of the tax-supported youth swim team or members of the adult tax-supported masters swim team.
On March 10, 2014, the Whidbey News-Times reported on the settlement of the lawsuit brought by Neil Romney and Vikki Robinson against the North Whidbey Park and Recreation District.
This is in reply to David Coleman’s letter in the Aug. 27 edition of the Whidbey News-Times.
