Letter to the Editor: McGlashan v Kim

To the Editor:

In many respects, I am disheartened when our local politics devolve into the “fake” stories approach perpetuated in our National politics. Mr. McGlashan responded with specific, verifiable, information; his opponent’s camp chose to present facts which are not true. Notwithstanding their modest retraction, is it that the bigger the lie the more likely it is to be believed? I certainly hope our Shoreline voters see through this charade.

Mr. McGlashan’s record as a valuable public servant within our diverse community is unblemished. That he survived an unbelievable financial set-back and has come back is to be applauded.

Indeed Ms. Kim has come back from a terrible life experience, but that does not replace knowledge and experience. While I understand youthful exuberance, Ms. Kim identifies neither public nor not-for-profit service upon which we can judge her potential as a Shoreline City Council Member. I might add that this epidemic plague of addiction is significant, but this, in my opinion, is not the only plank upon which a candidate should stand.

November 7th is an important date to keep our City “on track”; please re-elect Keith McGlashan
