There seems to be a minority of people who are out to mischaracterize Councilman John Koster. Let me set the record straight. I have known John for almost 30 years and before that knew of John as I had family members who had a farm just down from his.
John Koster has always held the strong belief that the a man + a tool + a natural resouce create a sound ecomony. He has stood with the people who drive truck, plumb, build airplanes, work as electricians, build our homes, raise our food and give a days work for a days pay.
John sees hard-working people being driven out by restrictions, regulations and lack of employment in our area. Yet all the powers that be promise is government handouts. If taking an opposing view implies that a working man is more important that a tree, fish, owl, rodent or fish then, I don’t have a problem with that and I don’t believe that the majority of Snohomish County does either.
We have to get unemployment down and that means livable wage jobs so we don’t have people losing their homes to lack of employment.
If you have a problem with the growth in Snohomish County then I suggest you read the Growth Management Act developed by Democrats in the Legislature in 1992. The Democrats have controlled Snohomish County and the state for 50 years and have created this monstrous bureaucracy.
John Koster loves Snohomish County and the people in it. With the Democrats holding four seats to John’s one, it only seems reasonable that we should have an opposing view. Vote for John Koster.
