Auburn's mayor and city council are out of touch
December 1, 2008 · Updated 9:31 AM
I write this in regards to several subjects:
1. Homelessness in Auburn is out of control, ruining our neighborhoods and threatening our community.
2. Gangs are ruining our neighborhoods and threatening our community.
3. Our streets and sidewalks are falling apart, not to mention the filth and mess left behind by those mentioned in points 1 and 2.
4. Traffic: Auburn Way? Not to mention stupid circles of wasted money creating more dangerous intersections in our neighborhoods.
This is the home of Christine Gregoire, our governor?
Mayor Pete Lewis and the City Council, is this what you have imagined for us?
We do not care about some stupid sign (Virginia) Haugen put up. It does not matter who put it up. Get over it.
Are you going to take me to court for hanging a sign at my home for something we think is important? Why don’t you focus our taxes on the real problems of Auburn?
Nobody is taking the taggers to jail or fining them. They are fining the people and businesses tagged.
Mayor Lewis and the City Council, you need to get in touch.
