So our mayor and City Council are finally asking for our opinion on a city issue to ban safe and sane fireworks and send citizens to the reservation to buy unsafe and insane fireworks.
Where were these advisory votes when the mayor and council …
1. decided to sell off our beautiful golf course to a developer? 2. decided to cave in to business on the B&O tax to fix our roads?
3. decided to raise our garbage fees about 15 percent to fix our roads?
4. decided to raise their salaries?
5. decided to dump half a million dollars every year into a failed Kent business?
6. decided to ignore our 55-percent yes vote on marijuana issues?
So far, all we’ve gotten from our elected leaders is the middle digit on these issues.
It’s no wonder we have such a dismal voter turnout in Kent. It’s obvious that these leaders have no idea what real representative government looks like.
