I believe that some council members would disagree with portions of the Legislative agenda for the City of SeaTac as proposed by the city manager and SeaTac staff and spending our tax dollars to promote things that are contrary to property rights and open government is not what the citizens and businesses want.

Please see page 3, Eminent Domain and Executive Sessions.

It is my opinion that these two issues, at a minimum, would not have majority support if the electorate was aware that this is what our lobbyist (Joe Daniels) is being paid to do. The use of our tax money to oppose open government and support the ease of taking your property is not something in our best interest.

I ask that you contact our council members and legislators to voice your opinion, even if it is contrary to mine.

Our Attorney General, Rob McKenna, has proposed House Bills 2423/2425 and Senate Bills 6199/6200 to strengthen our property rights. I support him on this issue.

I do not care about Republican or Democrat slant/bias. My simple opinion--if something proves to not work, stop doing that!
