Letter to the Editor: I've already voted for Sen. Chase

To the Editor,

Today (10/30) I received yet another flyer from the PAC some other voters are also complaining about.

But the main reason I'm writing is to share my observance at the Shoreline City Council meeting last evening, 10/29, regarding body language.

While all the other council members were seated upright and either listening or engaged in dialogue regarding the budget, Council member Salomon was not. He was leaning back in his chair and didn't appear to be listening to the discussion. Furthermore, he got up at least once and left the room, in the middle of dialogue. I was taken aback that a council member would leave the council chambers in the middle of a meeting.

Not that I had any intention of voting for him, but this speaks volumes to me regarding his engagement with his current position--and constituents; and I wanted to share my observation with other voters. I've already voted to re-elect Senator Chase.
