Letters to the Editor - Covington Reporter

Common sense must prevail with Black Diamond development | Letter

Mr. Box wrote a very bold and forthright editorial in the Oct. 21 issue of the Maple Valley-Covington-Black Diamond Reporter describing the “White Elephant Lurking in Black Diamond”.

Karen Crowe a candidate of substance for Maple Valley | Letter

Boy, all the letters to the editor supporting Noel Gerken are interesting. Never before has the deputy mayor (Letter to the Editor published in the Oct. 21 edition) taken such a direct action in supporting any candidate. Of course, she has groomed and supported candidates in opposition to sitting council members when they ran for re-election.

Support Debbie Straus for re-elections to the Kent School District board | Letter

When I was looking for school board support for a new Kent School District Middle School Science & Engineering Fair, Debbie Straus found time to meet with me, saw the opportunity and made things happen.

Gerken endorsed by Maple Valley deputy mayor | Letter

I would like to take this opportunity to encourage our Maple Valley voters to cast their vote to re-elect Noel Gerken to the Maple Valley City Council.

Support Leslie Hamada for Kent school board | Letter

I am writing to add my support to Leslie Hamada in her quest to serve on the Kent School Board, Position No. 3. I have known Leslie for several years especially in regard to her efforts to improve the health and well being of our public school students.

Woodcock most qualified for Maple Valley City Council | Letter

We are very fortunate here in the City of Maple Valley to have two fine candidates running for City Council Position Number 1, Bill Woodcock and Sean P. Kelly. I have had the privilege of knowing both of them for several years and can vouch for their integrity and commitment to our community. However, there is one that stands out and is much more qualified for the position.

Vote for change in Black Diamond | Letter

The economic and political unrest that was the setting of Charles Dickens’s novel, "A Tale of Two Cities", could surely be set again in the city of Black Diamond over the last couple of years. The point is that the city of Black Diamond is in turmoil due to the lack of political leadership and limited economic viability. This has been nursed along by the teat of private funding agreements and an addiction to spending that is fueled only by levies and taxes.

Hamada an advocate for Kent School District students | Letter

I am writing to you in support of Leslie Kae Hamada, candidate for Kent School Board Position No. 3. I have had the honor of working with Leslie for the past two years through my service with the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Project U(th).

Supporting Bill Woodcock for Maple Valley City Council | Letter

I have chosen to endorse Bill Woodcock for Maple Valley City Council. He is an experienced results driven leader who is ethical in his approach. Bill Woodcock will fight to keep Maple Valley a sustainable thriving community. Our current council has made moves that were negative to many small businesses.

Taylor, May and Deady for Black Diamond City Council | Letter

The city of Black Diamond is facing a momentous challenge with the imminent arrival of a master planned development by Yarrow Bay. There are three City Council positions up for election. These positions are more important now than in any other time in the history of Black Diamond. I support Joe May for Position No. 3; Tamie Boxx-Deady for Position No. 1 and Ron Taylor for Position No. 5.
