    Three decades of leadership? Campaign mailer for Jeanette Burrage, Brenda Siegrist, and Rob Back

    A political mailer from the 'Friends of Des Moines Committee' urges residents to vote on November 4th for three City Council candidates — Jeanette Burrage, Brenda Siegrist, and Rob Back — running for Positions 2, 4, and 6 respectively. The flyer criticizes the incumbent council members' three decades of leadership, citing failures such as nearly $6 million in tax dollars spent fighting a third runway at the airport with no mitigation money received, marina funds diverted to the general account, and no downtown development. The candidates campaign under the slogan 'It's Time to Rebuild Our City,' positioning themselves as a change from stagnant growth and budget deficits affecting Des Moines, Washington.

  • For Port of Seattle Commission, vote Todd Curtis

    As we’ve written many times, Port of Seattle Commissioner is the most consequential vote on any ballot for airport community voters. But it is also the most difficult choice because position information on the issues we care about most is so difficult to find. Candidates focus on issues of concern to every constituency except airport communities.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
