Sax attention to Brightwater a bit late

My name has been associated with Jeff Sax “doing the right thing” for those surrounding the Highway 9 Brightwater area. He handed me confidential information, which I then exposed in the 10-year update process for Snohomish County.

I want the public to know that I do not support Mr. Sax for his discretion, nor would I vote for anyone that has had confidential information for 11 months and then only shortly before his election decide to release it. He had the opportunity to gain the support from those in the Maltby area for more than 11 months, so why did he wait? It was probably because this was an excuse for votes. So what did he give the Highway 9 area residents in his mitigation efforts: a few cul de sac roads, bike lanes and sidewalks currently zoned rural. This isn’t the type of leadership those of us living near Brightwater need. If Sax was truly invested in our community, he could have done this 11 months ago and asked for assistance in doing the right thing. Jeff Sax’s Brightwater motives are his errors in judgment, disregard to the public and dishonesty to the voting public. If you as a voter want honesty and accountability, vote for Dave Somers.
