The 69 percent vote on doing away with plastic bags was revealing. The Kirkland City Council is supposed to represent us, the people who elected them.
They did not.
The council must think we are a bunch of dummies. Maybe they are right, after all, the same percentage of people voted for them.
I don’t think so. I think they believed the bull the council members put out that they represent the people. They did not and continue to so.
Are we so stupid to listen to their claims that they represent us? It makes us look stupid.
Are those who we elect going to serve us instead of themselves and special interest? Are they going to represent us or not?
Were 69 percent of us dummies? I guess so if you believe the mayor and the council.
Robert L. Style, Kirkland
