To prove the absence of developer connections, why didn’t Mr. Terry simply cite online PDC filings for Pro-Shoreline and its candidates, and reveal the financiers of the recent lawsuits against our council? Or would that belie his claim? (“Allegations about Pro-Shoreline not true,” Enterprise, Jan. 18)
Pro-Shoreline supports single family neighborhoods, like Innis Arden and the Highlands, but for the rest of us…not so much, hence the “support for growth where it can be developed reasonably.” He mentions his former executive board position with the 32nd District Democrats, but fails to mention Pro-Shoreline candidates’ inability to secure his party’s endorsements.
Many supported cottage housing in theory, but when citizens saw its effect on neighborhoods and property values, most reversed their position. The Pro-Shoreline council members, Hansen, Grace, Gustafson and Jepsen, did not. They defied the three-to-one opposition of citizens, instead used city resources for an expensive “sales pitch” on behalf of developers.
If Mr. Terry’s stated goals are to be believed, why are he and Pro-Shoreline not allied with current majority? He states Pro-Shoreline is “dedicated to making Shoreline a better place.” Do smears and lawsuits by Pro-Shoreline make a “better place”? If Pro-Shoreline’s stated goals are so similar to those they oppose, why the viciousness?
Perhaps Pro-Shoreline’s real goals are quite different.
