Supporting NASCAR
   I’ve listened to the naysayers lie about the proposed NASCAR project and whine about how it will hurt our so-called “quality of life” from the day it was announced.

I’ve seen the Democrats in Olympia say the proposed financing plan was dead on arrival in before they even knew what was in it.

I have watched Commissioner Chris Endresen barely be able maintain her composure whenever the subject is brought up.

What I don’t understand is why all these people so adamantly oppose something that will create jobs, create new tax revenue for the county and the state, bring people here that will spend their money and leave — and do all this without costing the taxpayers one red cent! What is the problem?

If you believe this project is good for Kitsap County and the State of Washington, get off your butt and contact your state legislators.

They say there is no public support for this project. I say they’re wrong. Let them hear from you. Otherwise, they will kill this before it ever has the chance to get off the ground. Opportunities like this come along once in a lifetime. Don’t let the Olympia elitists take it away.
