Placement of campaign signs is telling
by CHRIS MARQUARDT
There are two kinds of candidates in the Olympia City Council race.
The kind whose signs are firmly and forthrightly planted in your neighbors’ yards, clearly demonstrating real support from real people, and those whose signs are firmly but stealthily planted on every vacant lot and property line, demonstrating a lack of real support from real people and a desire to win and govern even without true popular support.
As you drive around town, take the time to notice which candidates rely on the support of your neighbors and which ones have most of their signs sticking out of the bushes and weeds of roadsides, property lines, and vacant lots.
Consider whether you want to be governed by someone who has gone door-to-door, talked to your neighbors, and won their support, or whether you want to continue to be governed by candidates who think their only obligation to the public is to “listen” to the majority opinion and then do whatever they were going to do anyway.
No more mistakes by the lake. No more council members who do not really listen, and then do the pposite of what the people want.
Make sure your vote counts. Vote early. Buxbaum, Hyer, Rogers and Roe for Olympia City Council.
