To the editor:
I am going to try again to do 2 things to save the tax --- and the environment.

I hope to get all of you that I send copies to read and do something about what I care about. I refer you to an editorial written by (Civil and Structural Engineer) Victor O. Gray, Viaduct Prevention Group and was printed in the West Seattle Herald/ White Center News on 8/23/06. I’m sure most of you haven’t read.

Victor O. Gray has studied our Viaduct like no one else has. He knows what most of you don’t. I am asking you to contact this man to help save the moneys everyone is so quick to spend. I don’t believe most of the voters and people today were here when they built the Viaduct or you would know as I that it was built to withstand almost anything. We want to save our Viaduct and being born here and raised a family of 9 kids should have rights with all the other people that are from Seattle.

The bill the Governor and the Mayor signed to go ahead with the tunnel can be reversed. There is no legal standing in the bill to go ahead with the tunnel. Talk to Elizabeth Campbell she will paint it out to you. We can change the ruling.

Now about snow days, you might want to check on using baking soda. The precipitation that turns into ice, you can use soda on walkways, maybe streets, the sodium bicarbonate lowers the freezing point of water to keep from forming ice, unlike salt it won’t damage concrete surfaces or surrounding grass.

Could soda work on our streets? Would it be reasonable as salt? I would love to hear your answer by letter please.

Thank you for your time,

Tax Payer
