Jim Thie of Everett is concerned that electing even one Republican to the Snohomish County Council, would return the council to the “good ol’ boys” (“County council: We need to avoid electing more ‘good ol’ boys,’ ” Letters, Oct. 26). I would like to remind him that Snohomish County has been in Democratic control for 60 years. The Democrats are the good ol’ boys. If the voters elect Jeff Sax, John Koster and Dave Schmidt, it will make a real improvement in county government.
Who was in control of Snohomish County when all this over-development was going on? Not the Republicans! Who lacked the vision needed to ease the traffic conditions, yet raised taxes mercilessly? The Democrats! Who failed to use the funds raised by endless tax raises effectively? Democrats! Vote for Jeff Sax, John Koster and Dave Schmidt and get some momentum on solving county problems.
