4th Feedback From the People

The lull in writing has been due to the relative relaxation of the campaign (no active campaigning) during the recently past Holy Week that ended with Easter, and nothing of particular note, lately, regarding city politics in the Federal Way Mirror.  The Greene for City Council Committee has signed on two more volunteers recently, Courtney and Faith, so that was very good news, but we need a lot more than 2 who are really dedicated to volunteering.  There are two kinds of volunteers, it seems, "volunteers" and real Volunteers such as the two aforementioned.  We need more of the latter than the former, of course.  A great thanks to Courtney and Faith.

  • One FW motorist complained about the red light cameras in Federal Way, and said that they were not working properly.  He said he would like the city to just do away with the red light cameras.  Furthermore, he said that he made a legal right turn at an intersection while the signal was red, with proper right-of-way passage, but was given a ticket through the mail regardless.

One of the most important jobs of a politician is to listen to what their constituents, or the people that may elect them to office, are saying, and listening, generally, instead of pontificating on their own ideas and polishing up their speeches.  So I have been listening.  Keep in mind that these points are coming directly from the people of Federal Way, and that I may or may not agree with particular points, here, but I do realize that if I'm elected to the Council, my job is to represent what the majority of the people want, and sometimes to persuade and vote from my own point of view if there is a fairly close divide amongst the people.  My apology if I didn't list something that you told me, but Feedback from the People is going basically by recollection right now as I didn't write down anything, though hoping to be more comprehensive as time goes by.
