Reader endorses Maike for mayor

I endorse Shirley Maike for Medical Lake mayor.

Shirley has the best experience and knowledge to keep the city going forward and operating in the black. I have watched Shirley work as a planning commissioner, as a council member and as a mayor.

Terri Cooper doesn’t go to any city meeting unless she has a complaint. In July 2018, she complained to City Council about dogs, alcohol and disrespect in the park. She asked for the park and walking trail to be residents only. Now, she wants them to be for tourist.

She also said she wanted fireworks ban but re-imagine still set them off.

No attraction, no hotel. She wants a community center, we tried that and I still don’t know where my money went.

Terri wants a local police force, she thinks she can create a levy or money from the budget. Has she seen the city budget?

We have low crime, few shootings or stabbings. What we have is a lot of people who do not secure their processions. I feel secure under the Sheriff’s Office protection.

Any voter in Medical Lake can get any information they need to help make their decision by calling or visiting City Hall, or going to its webpage.

Mrs. Cooper has many dreams for Medical Lake and every one of them will cost the tax payer. I do not want to see wasteful spending in Medical Lake like the state and federal government.

I ask that you please vote to re-elect Mayor Shirley Maike.

Vote for Shirley and keep your money in the bank.
