Tim Botkin’s election defeat happened because he arrogantly forgot that the people elected him to represent them, not to serve his own agenda.

This year, Commissioner Lent will run for re-election. I worked very hard for Ms. Lent, because I believed her campaign promises. More important, I thought that she believed them! Commissioner Lent has broken the promises she made to the voters of Kitsap County. Why would we want to re-elect her?

Commissioner Lent should step aside to let someone who will follow through on campaign promises hold that office.
