Intelligent, effective, efficient; Byers for council | Letters


January 30, 2013 · Updated 11:10 AM 

We are writing this letter in support of Lisa Byers for San Juan County Council.

We are fortunate to have such a candidate. She is strong and principled, yet an effective negotiator. What’s more, she is an administrator with an impressive track record.

Another thing that we like is that she actually comes right out and says she is interested in conservation of marine life in our county. Everyone “likes” the sea life, but we think she will hold the line against unreasonable inroads into this precious resource.

We like that she is intelligent, and feel that she will use that intelligence with creativity to make things happen (jobs, island economy, community values) while at the same time maintaining government efficiency.

Mike Kaill/Sandra Harold; Friday Harbor
