Thank you to all that supported
this effort and defeated the proposition!
If you DO NOT VOTE
it is a YES vote!
Did you know Bonney Lake is a Code City?
Do you know why they want to change
the current form of government?
If your answer is No, Vote No.
Why Vote No?
Against Statement
If it ain’t broke don’t “fix” it! This change could cost up to $400,000.00 of your tax dollars. In these uncertain economic times, is this the right thing to do? The current mayor-council has delivered increased public safety, no tax increases, protected open spaces and improved parks. This system is flexible to changing conditions. A charter will cement in place a vision of the city potentially locking in inadequate responses to changing conditions. Out of hundreds of other incorporated cities in Washington only ONE has adopted this proposed form of government, Kelso.
Smart voters will VOTE NO.
