Send Freeman to the light rail fight | Letters


October 26, 2012 · 11:50 AM

I attended the debate where Federal Way City Councilman Roger Freeman did an over the top job debating the 30th District State Rep. Katrina Asay. I had expected that to happen, but I did get a big jolt out of Ms. Asay’s lack of information.

I’m sure she is a fine person but her misinformation was too much.

Answering a question about light rail in Federal Way, she told everyone the $13.5 million we willingly taxed ourselves every year from now on “is just our contribution to Sound Transit’s operating funds.”

Wrong! Go back and read the ballot.

It was for light rail.

She has been in Olympia over two years. Has she learned nothing about this critical issue?

My vote is for the excellent Federal Way City Councilman Roger Freeman, who is making Sound Transit his project on our behalf.

Please join me in sending him to represent us in Olympia, and make your vote for Roger Freeman.

Norma Blanchard, Federal Way
