Shoreline Council candidate McClelland wins endorsement of King County Police Officers Guild
Wednesday, October 5, 2011
Shoreline City Council candidate Robin McClelland has won an endorsement from the King County Police Officers Guild, the labor organization representing sergeants and deputies of the King County Sheriff’s Office.
King County sheriff’s deputies provide police service for the City of Shoreline through a contract between the City and County.
McClelland is running in the November 8 election against attorney Jesse Salomon for the position that Councilman Terry Scott now holds.
McClelland is an eight-year veteran of the Shoreline Planning Commission and a planning professional who has worked with a number of Washington cities.
“I’m honored to have earned the support of this respected law enforcement group,” McClelland said recently. “As a mother and grandmother, I know how important it is to keep our communities safe and I appreciate the critical role KCPOG members play to do just that.”
“I understand that the quality of life in any city is fundamentally linked to safe streets and neighborhoods -- and good relationships with law enforcement officers. I’ll look forward to working with them on Shoreline City Council,” she continued.
The contest between McClelland and Salomon is one of three Shoreline Council races on the November ballot.
The Officers Guild has not announced endorsements in either of the other Shoreline Council races.

Which means the candidate is beholden to the contracts signed before the economy went into the tank, the same union that refused to renegotiate their contract until the county levy for public safety failed (Shoreline contracts with the county sheriff), and still holds all public agencies hostage without renegotiating their contracts even though the blue and white collar workers of King County take furlough days.
Before you go and attack me, my parent is a LEOFF (law enforcement & fire fighter) retiree, but this is getting ridiculous -- the only places left for the union to beat up on are the contract cities. They aren't even that union-oriented, call them up sometime and ask about candidates who use non-union printshops and find out what attitude you obtain. They don't care about any unions but their own.
