In a letter to the Council dated August 26, the Mayor called the August 11 resolution — introduced by Ward 5 Councillor and Mayoral candidate Robert Van Campen — and other criticism of the project politically motivated, designed to serve as a “an expression of personal opinions on my leadership,” detrimental to further development in Everett, sending a message to investors that development in Everett is difficult and time consuming, and misleading the voters to believing the referendum would influence the decision making process. And he accused the Councillors of not reaching out to him to discuss the issue. DeMaria also wrote that the public has had and will have ample opportunities for input in public meetings.
