Letter to the Editor: Woodinville Resident Calls for City Manager to Resign

Dave Henry blames the city manager for the disappearance of protest signs in the Wellington area and calls for his removal.

 

City Manager Mr. Leahy:
 
You are no longer welcome in our city or the Wellington community. Your presence here represents Violence, Intimidation, Police Power, Abuse of Power, Threats, Stress, and Unrest. Your unleashing your knee breaking violent thugs on our community, and the many seniors that have lived here over 30 years, represents the most despicable act by a government official that I have ever seen.

You unleash your violent shouting thugs, harass one of our senior community citizens, to confiscate neighborhood signs that advocate protect our neighborhood from high density development which you apparently advocate and apparently support.

 
Your presence here is a threat to us all. The Wellington community is an older well established R-1 community, with one house per acre and with many senior citizens, who only want to live in peace, enjoy their children and grandchildren. The Wellington community is involved in church activities, school activities and encouraging their children to become, law biding and active in many sports activities. The Wellington Community is not only made up of seniors citizens but younger families who want only to live in peace and also raise their children, without the threat of violence from you and YOUR local government.
 
I cannot believe you unleashed your violent code enforcers, to do battle with our seniors, confiscate our signs that oppose your policies and your agenda.
 
Mr. Leahy, you live in another county, another city, then you suck up your salary, from our community, then violently unleash your thugs on our community and attack us. Then you and one of your thugs calls up the citizens in the Wellington Community and then says, Oh by the way, your signs were not in violation, your signs were quite OK, your signs are not illegal, your signs were not any problem after all.
 
So you city manager, Mr. Leahy, charge into our peaceful community, with guns blazing, unleash your code enforcers with the intent of violence, shouting threats, with government repercussions of the Police Power at your disposal and on your side, and confiscate the Wellington neighborhood signs that advocate protect out neighborhood from the likes of you and your hired thugs.
 
What's next City Manger, Mr. Leahy, SWAT TEAMS, burn down our homes, arrest our seniors for just wanting to live in peace and free from you and your violent code enforcers. What's next Mr. Leahy, other neighborhood's, who might oppose you and your policies. Other seniors, who may not be able to defend themselves from you knee breaking thugs. What's next? Who's next?
 
Please resign. Please leave our peaceful Wellington Community and take your violent thugs with you, and while you are leaving please take the QUEEN of Conflict of Interest, council member Bauman with you. Also please take with you council member Rubestello, who has anger management problems, violently verbally attacking other council members who he opposes. Also when you leave please take with you council members Hageman and Aspen who in the last election used the disabled community as a political prop to gain votes.
 
I'm not yet sure what options are open to me, as a private citizen. However come Tuesday I will contact the AG's office to see if criminal charges can be brought forward against you and your code enforcer thugs. I will be contacting the Washington State Ethics Commission in Olympia to get their take and recommendation on what course of action they have available.
 
I'm sure the development community loves you, as well as the sewage dump promoters, the Woodinville Water District and KC.
 
As for the Wellington community, seniors, peaceful law biding citizens, you need to go.

As always and as usual, I'm available to discuss these and any other matters that negatively affect the peaceful Wellington Community.

Paula, you'll have my vote! The preparation and thoughtful approach that you bring to our PlanningRead More Commission as its Chair will be a welcome skill set for serving on the Woodinville City Council. Good Luck!

Congratulations to Inglemoor and Woodinville DECA teams. I knew you'd do us proud. NorthshoreRead More School District's DECA program has been winning awards for years. One of my ex-students, Heather Pressler, a DECA award winner from Inglemoor, is now a PhD candidate in molecular biology back on the East Coast. DECA opens so many doors to success.

I have been extremely frustrated in the past in trying to effectively communicate with Frontier. MyRead More developing sense was one of very poor live support. I find it refreshing to see Frontier respond in a timely manner to this very public assertion. One can hope this is also occurring in your phone support, especially after hours...

I have spoken to Mr. Gaulke and assured him we are not cutting speeds in the Woodinville market (orRead More any of our markets). We are working with him to approach his technical issues from scratch and will do all we can to alleviate his concerns about his speeds. His business, and all the business from our customers in the Woodinville market is very valuable to us. While we are disappointed to receive feedback his service is not living up to our standards, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with Mr. Gaulke and keep his valuable business. We welcome inquiries from other customers if there is anything we can do to improve. Please reach out to me at 425.275.8579 and let us know how we can help.

Frontier has spent the past three years expanding broadband to hundreds of thousands of homes acrossRead More the US and increasing speeds in many of our markets. Mr. Gaulke’s experience and recount of his conversation with one of our reps comes as a surprise to us. We are checking our records to find out what the possible miscommunication could have been. In the meantime, let us be clear: We are not decreasing speeds in Woodinvile, or any of our markets for that matter. We will be reaching out to Mr. Gaulke to see if we can alleviate any lingering concerns. Christy Reap Frontier Communications
