| I sent an e-mail to every member of the Washington State Senate several times during the last session of the legislature asking them to not support renaming the Narrows Bridge after the late Senator Bob Oke. The effort was successful as the Joint Memorial never made it past the Senate and therefore died.
Mrs. Oke is now taking a new tact. She is meeting with City Councils, County Councils and civic organization trying to gain support from these organizations to convince the State Transportation Commission to do what the Senate could not, and would not, do, rename the Tacoma Narrows Bridge the Bob Oke Bridge.
A formal resolution is now before the Pierce County Council and will be heard on April 7 in support of renaming the Tacoma Narrows Bridge the “Bob Oke Bridge.” I can only assume that similar resolutions are being planned in Kitsap County and other cities throughout the South Sound. I need your help.
I need to be able to present to the State Transportation Commission proof that “we the people” are not in favor of this idea. Would you please send me an e-mail at randyboss@comcast.net opposing this renaming and then send an e-mail out to everyone you know and ask them to do the same. I’d love to march into the State Transportation Commission meeting and drop 10 or 20,000 e-mails on their desk and say, “Count these.”
This will only take you a minute. Please help — send the e-mail. I’ll do the rest!
