Election, 2013

Well, the voters have spoken.

Now we just have to convince the mayor why, "This has never happened before, I have no idea why this has happened."

Mr. Evan Lee, my neighbor, had a pretty good idea what caused it and he managed to get his letter to the editor published in the Tacoma News Tribune on November 14, 2013.

I hope the current council members, as well as the incoming council members, will take note as well.  You cannot ignore the needs of the citizens of Fircrest and expect to get elected year after year.  How many voters in Fircrest did the affected residents talk to, concerning the council reaction of our frequent attendance to the City Council meetings?  Will other Fircrest residents get the same reaction when they present issues to the council?  I have yet to hear valid reasoning why the City of Fircrest will not provide adequate drainage to this area.

Now if we can only get the Mayor to figure out why two long time council members were not re-elected....

Flood Tax

It may behoove you to review your real estate tax statement for 2013.  Everyone is now paying because we are in a "flood zone".  I wonder what bucket Fircrest is going to put the "new money"?

Would be nice if City of City of Fircrest could put our portion of the taxes to good use and put in some drainage between Monterey and Ramsdel.  They accepted the property years ago and never fulfilled their part of the bargain.

I have not seen any mention of the flood zone taxes in any of the City Council meeting minutes.  I guess as long as we keep sending our taxes, they keep cashing the checks.
