Some Federal Way Councilwomen Who Have Been Nice or Somewhat Nice

I want to thank Dini Duclos, the councilwoman in Position 7, for her support for my 2014 Congressional campaign in the 9th Congressional District. She and Councilwomen Kelly Maloney (now, former councilwoman) and Susan Honda are among the handful of Establishment people that have been nice to me. I can see either one of these three competent women being the next Federal Way mayor some day.

Third Party Dilemma

Tweedle-dum or tweedle-dee, or pure idealism, or just plain idealism? It never ceases to amaze us how America, of all nations, is so reluctant to do something as minimal as peacefully and civilly announcing a "pox on both their houses" when it comes to the pretty much corrupt major political parties, here, and merely vote for virtually anything that says I'm not a part of them, meaning whatever available third parties and independents there are. Yet, third parties do dreadfully poorly as voters willfully play musical chairs between the Democrats and the Republicans, and therein goes the puzzle inside the dilemma.

Actually, most of the minor parties are themselves to blame by taking on a de...

Lady Liberty basically means liberty and justice for all. [Revised on Feb. 12, 2017.]

The Environment & Federal Way

If elected to Council, I will propose an Environmental Mapping Project, maybe with a different name but the same effect, as this will put increased focus on Federal Way's environmental standards, including the quality of water, sewer and storm drainage infrastructure, littering and graffiti problems, contingency plans for natural disasters, and so forth. The list, of course, could be in the scores, but you get the idea. My plan will include putting this new agency under an existing commission, or perhaps making it a separate commission unto itself, and dividing Federal Way into 20-or-so equal geographical areas, not divided evenly by population, but by square mileage or some other spatial measure. Each of these twenty areas will then have an environmental steward of its very own, which would essentially be a volunteer position, although regular stipends would be paid by the City. Stewards would be responsible for researching information pertine...
