Coffee Anyone?

My mother and father in law, Jenny and Jerry, are in town from Scottsdale AZ this weekend. They were downtown and loved the new mural. Jenny's comment was: "The mural has taken a dark wall and turned it to art. I love it!" I'm so very proud to be a founding member of the Edmonds Mural Society. Oh...and thank you very much Jenny for that great Apple Brown Betty!

I want to take a moment to thank my friends Randy and Theresa Hollis for hosting a great neighborhood coffee get-together at their home. Randy was one of the people that worked very, very hard doorbelling with me in 2008 (I was the Edmonds Regional coordinator for the combined Obama/Gregoire campaign).

I had some great conversation with the Hollis' friends and neighbors. It appears that everyone is ready for a change in Edmonds. They are tired of a Council that does not have a vision and is always looking for a quick fix, like selling the fire department, to address our long standing economic problems.

As an aside, I found it interesting that Mr. Plunkett is excited about the outcome of litigation to solve our financial difficulties - especially as he had just denied that Edmonds had a budget problem. This is yet another example of a "quick fix" mindset without any consideration of the long term consequences.

Remember, ballots drop soon. I need all of you to tell two friends to tell two friends to tell two friends to vote for me. I can only win this election with your help.

Until tomorrow my friends.
