Primary election
The primary election is coming up quickly, and it is always difficult to know the best choices for Superior Court Judge.Let me make one of your decisions easy by recommending Susan Amini for position 1.
As an Eastside attorney for 17 years, Susan Amini has earned the reputation as someone who goes the extra mile for all of her clients, including those with limited resources. She represents individuals like you and me, who have difficult problems that need equitable solutions.
Susan is experienced, compassionate and fair and will bring these qualities to the bench.
Susan’s tenacity on behalf of her clients is similar to her tireless advocacy when her son, Cyrus, became blind at age 8. Susan poured her efforts in to making surely he and others with serious challenges be given the same opportunities as their peers at school.
When school officials said it was too dangerous for her son to play on the playground equipment, she showed him how to do it and insisted that hebe allowed to do so, saying, “You can fix a broken leg, but not a broken spirit.”
Susan will bring this same commitment and energy to King County Superior Court; and that is one of the many reasons why so many judges, elected officials and community leaders are supporting her. I hope you will too!
Thank you.

HOV lanes
It appears that the HOV lanes are underused (surprise, surprise), which is a reason many questioned the requirement for them in the first place. They just take up viable highway lanes that could be used by everyone and thus increase the gas mileage for each vehicle sitting in dormant traffic.
However, our money-grubbing elected officials have grasped upon another way into the taxpayers’ pockets. We have a gas tax that is not used for reducing traffic bottlenecks, but for whatever the money-grubbing officials like to spend the funds on.
Folks, I would hope you will think about this when you go to the polls the next time.
