Vote for Dad
As a young child growing up in a two-parent household, I never really realized nor appreciated how smart my dad was. Now as a young adult I am amazed at the amount of knowledge he has and his ability to remember facts and figures. My dad, Al Littlefield, is really very smart and I am very proud he is my dad.
When he ran for the Anacortes City Council position, he put his heart and energy into campaigning and then became a Councilman for the City of Anacortes. When he ran for PUD Commissioner back in 1986, he put his heart and energy into running for the position and after being elected, put his heart and energy into serving as a PUD Commissioner for the citizens of Skagit County.
My dad was born in Anacortes and wants to make sure the residents of Skagit County are represented by someone who knows the whole county. In my heart I know my dad will do everything possible to provide Skagit County with safe, affordable, reliable and top-quality services.
I ask that you vote for Al Littlefield, my dad, for PUD Commissioner. Thank you.

Stop wasting our transportation money!
How many people realize that the WSDOT plan to “improve” Highway 20 and the Highway 20 spur at Sharpes Corner in Anacortes will cost us 23.4 million bucks?
The project includes purchasing the Frontier Auto Outlet. Oddly enough, just to gain what they deam as “a few feet of access” for a hotly contested round-about design instead of proven acceptable plans. There won’t be any improvement or “slow traffic” lane up to Whidbey Island (not for years). This is pure pork-barrel, excessive and the wrong design and too expensive all the-way-around.
And in six months it will have caused more accidents than any of us have seen in 15 years!

Stick with the one that works
Election day is almost here — after that what will we be watching on TV and reading in the newspapers?
As a resident of Anacortes for many years, I write to tell the general voting public that I have witnessed one man take his elected position very seriously. That man is Al Littlefield, your present PUD commissioner. Al is committed to serving the public as witnessed in his Web site, his affiliations, his community involvement and his endorsements.
Al Littlefield firmly believes in buying locally, hiring locally and I believe in electing locally. Please re-elect Al Littlefied as your continuing PUD commissioner.

Property values and taxes
To all property owners:
When will the property taxes be adjusted to the new current values? Will we ever see any adjustments with property values dropping? Does anyone believe that this will happen?
We have no control over property values when they go up. So the property taxes go up. Can we have any control on property values when they go down?
It will be hard to give up them tax dollars, But why should property owners pay on property values that are unrealistic and have decreased? With the property values continuing to decline on an almost daily basis, should the property taxes be adjusted to the market? I know that my home is not worth what it was a year ago. How about the rest of you property owners? Is your property worth what it was a year ago?
If this is a concern, and it should be, then call or write you’re local politicians and let’s work on having the property values adjusted as they should be.
