Like most voters, I have become weary of listening to politicians promise one thing and then govern differently when elected to office. I stopped listening to what they say and started watching what they do. Like many voters, I found that neither party represents its constituents very well but seem to represent themselves, their careers and bank accounts well.
I stopped supporting parties and started supporting good people that I can vouch for. Robert Sutherland is one of those people! I have watched what he does. I have had many lengthy conversations about first principles with Robert and find him to be as solid as they come and passionate about the rights of people.
We have very real problems at the county level. County prosecutors will no longer prosecute property crimes because they “can’t afford it.” However, my taxes keep going up! Where’s the money going? It’s not going to fix our traffic congestion; I sit in my car on the hill out of Lake Stevens for 40 minutes every morning to get to work. I’m tired of renting my house from the county with property taxes that have doubled since I bought it three years ago, but am not allowed to build anything on it. Robert feels the same. He thinks that people should not see their property taxes go up. Ever! I whole-heartedly agree.
We can do better. Join me in voting for Robert J. Sutherland for Snohomish County Council.
