In rebuttal to John VanHollebeke’s Oct. 25 letter (“Joe Marine: He’s just another puppet for his party”): State Rep. Joe Marine may do some things right of center, but as I know him personally, I can assure readers that Joe is almost direct center. That’s where most of the voters in the 21st District are.
Fact: Joe would be willing to have a monorail system that would serve Snohomish County. Most of the Republicans I know don’t like Sound Transit. He asked for a performance audit to be done on them. He wants to see it work, yet not be so burdensome on us taxpayers. Three billion-plus dollars is quite a bit, don’t you think?
I find it quite laughable that VanHollebeke calls Marine a puppet. Perhaps the letter writer should look in the mirror to see the strings attached.
