I align with the ideas that Shoreline should have a more thriving downtown and a place where people can hang out like a Seattle Center. I don't believe hoarding public property and providing it just for working out or a pool is the idea. I can envision places where outdoor cafes are available. Places where we can attract tourists. <br /><br />I may not agree with all the candidates ideals and views on bigger National items on the political forum. I think having a well seasoned and someone who has been living in Shoreline and has experience with Development should be our city representative.<br /><br />I don't necessarily always trust politicians, but if we were to choose someone for Shoreline, I think Vivian is a smart way to go for Position #2.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-6561081793741649492019-10-04T12:09:09.407-07:002019-10-04T12:09:09.407-07:00Thanks so much for publicizing the answers to the ...Thanks so much for publicizing the answers to the questions asked at this forum!

What Keith Scully is essentially saying here is, "Nice pool you've got there. It would be a shame if something happened to it..."<br /><br />I for one do not appreciate a Shoreline City Council member issuing a public ultimatum like this. Either we can approve their $103 million bond, or they're going to take that as a sign that the community doesn't value a pool. If we don't approve the flashy vanity project, they wouldn't dream of appropriating $5M to perform a comprehensive renovation of our existing pool.<br /><br />I'll be voting for Vivian Collica on November 5th.<br /><br />Dan Adams<br />Shorelineherrbrahmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08308204686231352936noreply@blogger.com
