"Carkeek ** was elected ** to District 8's board of commissioners last
year after campaigning on the premise that the district needed to be
overhauled or disbanded. He also claimed that his property should be
exempt from drainage assessments and that the district overcharges
residents."
Yes, the truth is Lake Stevens loves a good lynching now and then. With
Bob Carkeek winning big and by a mandate, due to the grossly high
drainage fee's being charged to residents on or near the lake front!
Then our trusty bureaucrats avoiding the true cause of lake pollution,
all the steep hillside development being shoehorned in! Even homes
being built on pure wetlands on Lake Stevens Road. A small boats wake
could inundate this slop called buildable land. Find out who changed
that land use, or granted those permits? That's why I voted for Bob
Carkeek.
He wasn't afraid to speak his mind, or ask why? With the County's
drainage and sewer district's becoming as politicaly entwined with the
same developers as the County Council's majority, it's amazing Mr.
Carkeek hasn't been drawn and quartered by now?
As far as the "state's Open Public Meetings Act!" Why were the other
two commisioners allowing the forum to get out of control and away from
the agenda? When a question was brought up about why lake developers
were paying next to nothing in drainage fee's, the cat calls being
dished out durring this portion of the public meeting were of a
personal nature, and avoiding the real questions.
I hope people remember why they voted for Bob? Not only have the fee's
doubled, but one County Council member told the Lake Stevens City
Council, two years ago that they would be tripled by the end of his
term.
More wasted tax dollars on a district thats become outstanding at
collecting fee's!
