LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Shake Out the Dirt and Elect Erickson

POULSBO - Reader submitted

I have been keeping up with the mayoral election in Poulsbo. I am seeing/feeling the distinct undertones of a much greater problem within the Poulsbo City Council and Mayor Quade.

Why the personal attacks against mayoral candidate Ms. Erickson? She seems to have hit some definite nerves with all these council members as to possible underhanded dealings financially? Are they afraid of what else may be discovered or lose if Quade is voted out?

Has Mayor Quade really worked for the betterment of the city of Poulsbo or herself and her consortium of council members Stern, Lord, Crowder and Rudolph. How many members of the city council are land developers? If they are I feel that, that is a big, big conflict of interest with being on the city council and making land development decisions. How many have feathered their nests with land dealings in and about Poulsbo? Has Ms. Erickson become the bee under their bonnets?

Maybe it is time for some new blood in this town. I think Ms. Erickson is just what the City of Poulsbo needs to shake out the dirt from the rugs.
