A builder and developer who wants to see the county, cities and tribes cooperate more, a dairy farmer who wants to preserve the county’s character for future generations and a solid waste foreman who wants to complete the long list of tasks before the county all want to represent District 1 on the Skagit County Commission.

Bill Turner, Ron Wesen and Leo Jacobs are vying for the seat being vacated by Commissioner Don Munks at the end of the year.

In the Aug. 19 primary, residents within District 1, which includes Anacortes, South Fidalgo, La Conner, Bay View, Bow, Edison and the Blanchard area, will decide which two of the three candidates go on to the Nov. 4 general election. In that election, the entire county decides who serves District 1.

Go Wesen!
He’ll represent the REAL Skagit County, unlike anybody else who’s running.

Now I wish that redhaired leggy lady Mount Vernon’s got for brains I see on TV10 (Jane?  Jana?  Jackie?  Janice?) all the time who just puts the smackdown on ‘em all while Bud Norris is half-there, half-not-there like he’s drunk or something.  He probably should be breath-tested before City Council meetings… oh, that’s right so should whomever ran against him last time too that once in a while really makes my blood boil!  I swear, I am so happy I do not live under their bloody reign.  At least they got that gal w/ the name starting with J for salvation.

Oh and yeah, most times when I watch public access TV I either turn it off or just listen to them mumble and flounder around.  At least the Aussies, Canucks and the Brits have real debates!  It’s a shame we can’t have that here instead of claptrap and clown shows.
