Round 2 in "Sprawl Brawl"

Last week developer Dave Barnett said Snohomish County Councilman Dave Somers is for sprawl.
This week Barnett says Somers is for global warming.
Check it out here.
Barnett wants to build a “fully contained community” for 6,000 people near Lake Roesiger. Somers and a majority of the council are not big fans of such mini-cities.
Barnett, who also sent a mailer to residents Monday labeling Somers as pro-global warming, is conducting this campaign through his hired consultants at Strategies 360, the Seattle-based firm run by Ron Dotzauer of Snohomish.
Dotzauer is a longtime friend of Democrats and former campaign manager for Sen. Maria Cantwell. Democrats, including Somers, are quite sore with Dotzauer for this current effort.
Somers, who set up his own Web site to respond to Barnett, wrote this in an e-mail last week:
I am pretty disappointed in Ron Dotzauer. Business must be pretty slow for him to do this kind of cheap stuff against a Democrat.
Not only Democrats are backing Somers in this dispute. Monroe Councilman Mitch Ruth, a conservative Republican, praised him in a letter to the editor in The Herald today.
Expect much more in this tussle.
