In Washington state it is a moving violation to drive when distracted by cell phones or handheld communica- tion devices. It is therefore rude to stand on a sidewalk waving flags to attract drivers’ attention by distrac— tion. I understand that it is an inex- pensive way to get attention for your furniture sale, going out of business sale, or to ask drivers to “honk if you hate fascists.” But please, please find another way to get your message dis- seminated. Engaging in distracting behavior aimed at vehicle drivers is just rude and does not put your busi- ness or your sale or your politics in a good light. Thank you. Arthur Rohlik Shelton Fight FEMA Editor, the Journal, Petition to change illegal flood zon- ing, Lake Limerick Lodge, 10 am. Saturday, Oct. 17. George Skarich Shelton The 35th needs Darcy Huffman Editor, the Journal, Right now, our district has no voice at the majority’s table. We are sim- ply “on the menu.” And it’s time for that to change. In this election, Darcy Hufi'man is running against incum- bent Drew MacEwen, who signed onto the GOP lawsuit against Gov. Jay In- slee’s COVID-19 public safety orders, and he votes in support of big busi- ness nearly 100% of the time. With Darcy’s 25 years of work experience in banking, finance and risk management and nine years as a church administrator (for a progres- sive Protestant church in Olympia), she is well-prepared to serve us in the Legislature. She has broad connec- tions in our community and is known as someone who gets things done. In the Legislature, Darcy will focus on health care, broadband as a utility, and'bringing more family wage jobs to our area. Darcy’s rural upbringing will suit her well in representing the 35th District. If elected, Darcy will have a seat at that table, and she will fight for ‘ us. Right now, we are experiencing an economic and social crisis like we have never seen before. .We need new leadership who will get creative and find innovative solutions to our bud- get deficit, lack of broadband accessr housing shortage and health care cri- sis. After working with Darcy and get- ting to know her, I have no doubt that she will get these things done. Darcy Huffman deserves our vote.

I find it offensive that this is be- ing allowed. I have been an essential worker since we were all shut down. I have had to handle numerous situa- tions where people didn’t want to fol- low the policies but this is the first time I have seen such total disregard for personal and public safety and no one is doing anything about it. This is unbelievable. Nine new cas- es reported in Mason County today. Maybe because there is blatant disre- gard to the law and health safety? Mason Cou'nty Democrats Nichole Tudor Brinnon . Taxman WE ARE PROUD TOANNOUNCE OUR , ENDORSEMENTS AND APPROVALS comlng for you Editor, the Journal, In the middle of a pandemic and the most significant election in mod- ern times, where the course of the country could be changed and lead us down the socialist dark hole, we have our own tax assessor slipping a quick and massive tax increase on us. This year alone, our “fair market value” for the mobile home on 1.2 acres has increased by 24%. I find it very interesting that on the assessor’s website page, he states that the prices have increased 8.5% that my prop- erty has increased almost three times that. This means that this mobile home has increased over $125,000 since we purchased the home, or 71%, in three years. Now that beats any Joe Biden President and Kamala Harris Vice President >Derek Kilmer — US Representative, 6th Congressional District >lay lnslee — Governor Denny Heck — Lieutenant Governor V >Gael Tarleton Secretary of State > Bob Ferguson - Attorney General >Michael Pellicciotti — State Treasurer ever heard of. Or someone is smoking something they should not be while on the job. I guess that might be expected, had > Hilary Franz Commissioner of Public Lands admit, after we bought the home, we found several things that the home inspection did not find, like having to replace the roof and rebuild a wall of one of the outbuildings after the car- penter ants had their fill, these would be classified as repairs, wouldn’t they? Oh wait, we also fenced the backyard (three years ago). And there is the awning that We put on the back patio, since we had to remove the retract- able awing that was on the roof, when we had to replace the roof. In this time of lockdowns, isolation from. our families and our jobs, and having gone through the shortage of toilet paper I would not have thought that this would have been possible. Or maybe, since we are all distracted, Darcy Huffman State Representative, 35th District >Colton Myers — State Representative, 35th District > Raquel Montoya-Lewis - State Supreme Court, Position # 3 > G.

Now when you start looking into have to prove them wrong. Seems that it should be the other way, they should have to prove to us that they think the value is. It should be lim- ited to the; same increase or decrease as the average “fair market value” for identical property that has been sold in the area in the past five years. I am retired and living on a fixed in- , come, wish I could just decide that my WE RECOMMEND: 0 Check your registration. at www.votewa.com - Vote early - Mail your ballot early,’or 0 Help the Post Office by using a secure ballot box.

Maybe we need to limit the amount of tax increases that they are allowed to make. _Keith Martin Shelton see LETTERS, page A-1O
