I want to thank Beth Asher and Stuart Avery for their leadership these past two years. They rallied the community to save our precious Cedar River library location and gave further by running for City Council.

Our recent voters’ ballots had a number of races where there was no opponent. Had Asher and Avery not run for City Council, there would have been even more without opposition. This is not healthy for democracy, nor does it help to sharpen the skills and ideas of the ballot winner.

Asher and Avery modeled how to get involved, making our community a better place to live. May more of us follow their example of service!

Richard Bray,
Renton
