Three vie for County Council Post
HeraldNet: Three vie for County Council post:
This article from the Herald outlines the issues among the three candidates, although in my opinion it gives more coverage to Sax than to the other two candidates, particularly short shrift to Somers. However, Sax says more than he should and reveals his pro-developer bias.
A related article in the Herald deals with specific issues and presents answers from the three candidates.
Sax revealed in the article that he is a Montana boy. So am I, and I'm a bit surprised that he is, but I guess Montana always had enough rednecks in it to spawn someone like him.
A third interesting article (actually Editorial) appeared today in the Seattle Times, suggesting that the deal between King and Snohomish Counties on the Brightwater Sewage plant is a good deal for both counties, since two-thirds of the sewage processed will be from Snohomish County. I hadn't paid a lot of attention to this issue until Sax made a fool himself over it. I know that many locals in the South part of the district are opposed to the plant, but I think that it actually is advantageous to our situation, since it allows more of the growth in Snohomish country to be focused at the south end of the County, essentially leaving us more to our own devices, and reducing the pressures to expand urban growth and development in our area.
"Three vie for County Council post
The District 5 race is a rematch between political opposites Jeff Sax and Dave Somers, with a twist - independent Greg Stephens.
By Jeff Switzer
Herald Writer
A coin toss won't do in this race, unless it has three sides.
Outspoken incumbent Republican Jeff Sax is in a rematch with the man he unseated four years ago, Democrat Dave Somers, to serve on the Snohomish County Council.
The Snohomish County Council contests are the hottest local races this fall. To help voters get informed, The Herald is sponsoring 'Coffee with the Candidates' from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Oct. 26 at the new east county administration building in public meeting room 2. Participants will be able to ask the candidates questions. The candidates invited are John Koster, R-Arlington, and Suzanne Smith, D-Marysville, in the 1st District; Dave Gossett, D-Mountlake Terrace, and Eva Davies, R-Bothell, in the 4th District; and Jeff Sax, R-Snohomish, Dave Somers, D-Monroe, and Greg Stephens, I-Snohomish, in the 5th District. The event is in the building on the corner of Pacific and Oakes avenues. Use the parking garage or a side street. Refreshments will be served.
The curveball for the candidates is Greg Stephens, an independent candidate in the race who just left the Republican party."
