Letter: Vote to preserve current system in Snohomish

Published 1:30 am Wednesday, October 12, 2016

I love the opportunity I have had to live, work and serve in the community of Snohomish for 45 years. Since my retirement from Snohomish High School, I have thoroughly enjoyed volunteering for various projects and organizations in the community.

I absolutely support the current form of city government. I have always found the city council to be attentive and responsible. I may not always get the response I wished for; however, I was listened to and treated with respect. An atmosphere of contention is not a productive environment. It appears to me that some of the supporters of changing the current form of city government thrive on contention. I hope the good citizens of Snohomish can come together and preserve our current form of government. Let’s continue to foster the positive and work together to strengthen this great town. Reaching consensus through shared dialogue is much more productive than futile contention.

I support voting no on Proposition 2.
