I wish to congratulate my two opponents, Councilmember Lucy Krakowiak and Planning Commissioner Greg Duff. I do want to thank them for running open and transparent campaigns, based on issues.

I would also like to thank everyone who voted for me. If any of them wish to see a particular idea of mine for the future of Burien to move forward, please contact the City Council.

All my campaign signs have been picked up -- I think -- if you see one please let me know, either by calling 206-246-5162 or e-mailing me at EdDacy@msn.com and I will pick up the sign, I do not want them lingering in the landscape of Burien.

On the Bob Edgar issue; I assume that Mr. Edgar is an honest and ethical man and he was taken by surprise by the support he received in the primary election; I do not think he planned on going on to the general election.

But now is the time for Mr. Edgar to state his intentions. If he would take office if elected he needs to file with the Public Disclosure Commission, so the voters can look to see if there are conflicts. If he will not take office if elected then he needs to make that pledge.

I do look forward to hearing from the Council Members, not in the race, on their views on someone being on the ballot without filing with the Public Disclosure Commission. Jack, Lucy, Brian, Joan and Rose are you for disclosure by candidates and elected officials or the smoke filled rooms days of government?

The voters need to know would a vote for him just be a protest vote or would they be electing a man.
