THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, October 4, 2019 Page 3 ~ LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR ~ Sincere Thanks Dear Editor, I sincerely want to thank the voters of Everett who came out to support me in September’s Primary Election. It is clear that you recognize the job is done throughout the twoyear term and not just a summer of campaigning. A Council is a team effort and no one individual can hold sway over the team. For the past several years, I have been involved in working to improve our educational system for all of our children. As a parent of three special education children who are now fully functional adults with good paying jobs, it is an important investment to our community to ensure success both academically and occupationally. I have also worked very close with economic development in our City which has brought thousands of jobs to Everett, raising the standard of living for many of our low-income residents. It takes a considerable amount of time to implement these changes while addressing much needed capital improvements on an aged infrastructure such as streets and city buildings. The past two years we have been told that economically it would be tough to address financial concerns while growing the City. This fall we will be setting the new tax rate with much awaited revenue finalLETTER | SEE PAGE 20
