January 2008

To the Editor:

On February 19 Federal Way citizens will be voting on a critical issue: whether or not to change the city administration to a strong, elected mayor or to continue the present City Council/City Manager form of government.

When we decided to attend the debate on this issue on January 16 at Federal Way High School, we did so because we needed to learn more about this issue. We had no idea which way to vote. Now we do.

Currently the elected city council hires a City Manager after an extensive national search and review process.

To the Editor:

Less than 20 years ago, our community voted to become an incorporated city because the needs of Federal Way were not being met.

We were a dumping ground for failed land-use policies and rampant growth of apartment buildings. We were neglected as a community.

We finally had enough and formed our own city, determined to overcome the years of neglect.

We've spent the past 18 years recovering from those years of centralized power.

Federal Way voters chose to become a city with a Council-Manager form of government.

This is the time of year when millions of Americans try to put their New Year's resolutions into action.

As we all know, one of the most common resolutions is to maintain a regular exercise schedule. Then, before you know it, it's February. Where has the resolution gone?

Research shows that making - and following through with - resolutions together as a family or with a supportive group greatly improves success.
