Yes I know,no politics,but that decision will shape the city for a long time to come.
To a large extent,the Washington side of things are to a point irrelevant,it’s the local elections where you practice true democracy.
Unless people get involved and find out who they are voting for and what interests they have,which should be yours,you call them and or email them or what ever social media crap people do today,you have to get involved otherwise you get what you get,they work for you,it’s your job to interview them for the position,it’s like anything else,if you want to get something done,you have to put the right people in place.
You want to get transit in place,ask them if they support it,if they do not,let them know they will not have your support at the voting box.
Stop viewing them as the ones that decide your future as a city,you are the people it is your city and your decision.
