November 2006

Democrats maintained their domination of all legislative seats representing the Highline area in the Nov. 7 general election.

All incumbents easily won re-election in the 11th, 33rd and 34th Legislative Districts.

In the one race that Republicans hoped would be competitive, Sen. Karen Keiser, D-Des Moines, soundly defeated challenger Karen Steele, the 33rd District Republican chairman from Normandy Park.

Results from King County Elections through Nov. 13 appear below.

The Burien City Council voted 5-2 on Nov.

King County Fire Protection District No. 2 will hold a public hearing (RCW 84.55.120) on Tuesday, November 27th at 4:00 p.m. to receive citizen comments with respect to all sources of 2007 revenue and any proposed increase in revenues or taxes for King County Fire Protection District No. 2.

The meeting will be held at Station #28 of King County Fire Protection District No. 2, located at 15100 8th Avenue Southwest, Burien.

KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON

RESOLUTION NO. 2006-42

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF SOUTHWEST SUBURBAN SEWER DISTRICT, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, DECLARING ITS INTENT TO ANNEX THE AREA REFERRED TO AS ISLAND ANNEXATION - LOWE'S TERRACE NO. 8 AND SIERRA HOMES ADD. NO.

Should Burien proceed with declaring a full Potential Annexation Area on North Highline, prior to a more detailed financial and cultural study of the worthiness of such an action by Burien, and which is paid for by Burien and not King County, a clear message will be sent to the residents of North Highline to gather their forces to protect their own interests-either by rallying an overwhelming NO vote or, if the measure is passed in time, by taking over the majority of Burien's City Council to ensure beneficial development of the various business areas and neighborhoods of North Highline.

In an attempt to understand Bob Pierce's anger toward the one organization that has done more for Burien's renewed vitality than perhaps any other, I asked him, "Why the anger?" We have had a conversation and an email or two, but so far his commentary has lacked focus and, to me, credibility.

For the record, I have been rigorous in supporting our Executive Director, Ms. George, but I have not told anyone "not to criticize" Debra.
