This August, you may see Port of Everett Proposition No. 1 on your primary ballot, asking voters in the proposed enlargement area whether to enlarge Port boundaries to include most of Snohomish County.   While many large port districts in Washington state are county-wide — including all other ports in the state that operate international seaports — the Port of Everett is not. With nearly 830,000 residents and growing, only about 15% of the County has access to port tools and investments. This significantly restricts how the Port of Everett can help advance economic and community priorities across Snohomish County, one of the fastest growing counties in the state. Ballots expected to arrive around July 20. For more information and FAQs, visit https://lnkd.in/gsMTHfps.

The justification & the appropriate distribution of resources is critical to serve the public. Take into account budget cuts, departmental shutdowns & so forth, the crisis plaguing #ColdCases just compounds. The public misconceives this all the time. And rightfully so. A family of someone lost or murdered will never understand, because to them, there’s no help. The concept of budget cuts should NEVER be up for discussion when involving public safety departments, related programs and or education. In contrast, there needs to be a dramatic increase in budgets, departments & program expansions. Meanwhile our communities suffer & justice for the missing & murdered almost never comes. That’s real life nightmare stuff. Never having answers, never knowing….. and I’m only talking about one subject area. I get the chance to work side by side LE & families all over the country, and I can tell you the problems are the same throughout. And I have never met a LEO that didn’t want to do more.

What we must remember is that city governments are composed of people — individuals who live and breathe within our communities, share the same hopes, fears and aspirations as the residents they serve. Full blog here: https://lnkd.in/g5P5F7Wx
