Look behind the window dressing when casting your vote for city council | LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the editor: At first blush, it might appear that every one of the candidates running for city council are environmentalists who are committed to promoting and protecting our community values and the unique way of life we all enjoy. But words are cheap, as are lovely campaign photos of our harbors, rural vistas and tree-lined roads.

At first blush, it might appear that every one of the candidates running for city council are environmentalists who are committed to promoting and protecting our community values and the unique way of life we all enjoy. But words are cheap, as are lovely campaign photos of our harbors, rural vistas and tree-lined roads.

I hope that every voter will take the time to look behind the window dressing to find out what each candidate really stands for. There are clear lines drawn in this election, and voters will be choosing between dramatically different political perspectives.

I know that I will be voting for the three candidates that have been endorsed by the 23rd District Democrats and the Sierra Club: Val Tolefson, Roger Townsend and Wayne Roth.
