Ron, I don’t think you realize that you are actually one of the “few”. The majority of people want the community center.

It is like the hatfields and Mccoys. Hey ridge runners we had a free mother nature sponsored pool in the valley last night- none of you attended and did not offer us a place to dry off. We must keep voting against the Larson Rec Center and the people in the valley have the votes to do so. Lots of for sale signs and layoffs on the ridge as well so guess how they will vote. Until this economy gets on the right track smart voters will avoid paying taxes for other peoples enjoyment- My advice to Larson is to put this on the back burner for a while. On the other hand it will keep him busy and unable to dream up something else for the few. We have the votes to stop this for the fourth time if he is foolish enough to try it to soon. His comparing Seattles issues to the Snoqualmie Ridge is nonsense. Bills passed in Seattle will help the majority while the ridge rec center would help the few.

I think two things need to change in order to get a community center here:
1. Location. Personally, the main reason I voted no for the community center is because it would wipe out our beautiful central park here on The Ridge. We need that open space with its beautiful green lawn. I absolutely do not want our main park to disappear behind yet another building. How about putting it in the business park, or some other location? I will continue to vote no as long as the current park location is proposed.
2. YMCA management. I don’t like the idea and proposed terms of YMCA management of the center, and I don’t think many others do either. A different management scheme is in order.
