Town Government

Jean.....

Who ever you are, seems you struck a nerve of the whole town. You speak the truth...Are they going to hike the Utility Tax????

NEW trucks for the town workers - NEW office (oh yea...the Mayor paid for it - NOT) - they are going to fence Glacier Park, so what good is the park then if you can't get in??? - NEW lawnmower, have you seen it in action, I certainly haven't!!! SPENT....SPEND.....SPEND!
I did see it once on a trailer going up to the Mayor's house...hmmmmm!

Change in town government

The reason you see so many changes or "New Versions" of the same old 'lets change the town government' on eatonvillecitizens.com, is because they CAN'T get enough signatures to satisify the auditor's office. The people of Eatonville voted down this issue twice within the last 8 years.

You would think they would get a clue, but no they keep having to shove THEIR point of view down all of our throats....

The citizens don't want this LEAVE US ALONE! GO AWAY.

If you want to change anything, do it with your vote at the next election - vote for responsibility in your local government and look to those council members who consistently voice their concerns and speak out against those who would spend our town into bankruptsy! Those council members are speaking out for a reason - LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THEM!

I am going to vote for responsibility in my local government and I can tell you now it won't be for Harper - Gallagher or Jumper they are puppets for the current irresponsible - spend the money -Mayor!

city government

Why would we want to change the 'form' of government in Eatonville? The same result would happen only 'more' of the wrong people would be running it. And how long does a petition have to be passed around before you get enough signatures to use it?

Is it not about time to start a new poll?

The readers of ENN have spoken, they would like the town to change government type by an overwhelming margin.

Change in Town Government

I haven't heard much lately about the change to a Code City form of government. Are those who wanted this issue before the people not getting enough signatures for their issue to be placed upon the ballot? It would seem to be the best time for this type of issue is during a Presidential election year when the draw from the voting public is at it's greatest.

Those who say you would have more say in a Code City are mistaken...I work for a code city and the citizens DO NOT have more say, they have LESS.

What ever you do, make an informed decition based upon your own research and I will support the decision you the citizens make - which ever way it should turn out.

I hear you. I was put on the Council by the PEOPLE of Eatonville, and if you the citizens do not want this - then you must let me know. I am here for YOU the citizens not the special interest groups. Eatonville is ALL of us not just a select few.

Eatonville government

I agree with the other people who commented. People don't trust the local government but many people are afraid to let them change anything because they are afraid the current government will stack the deck with more special interest people. They probably already have a person picked out for the council. Probably a person who will be a yes man.

Government

People do not trust the government that is in charge. It is not for the general citizen it is driven by development. Code City would mean moe power for them. They have a lot of people on there that are connected to developers or development. They fight putting people on that would not represent the rest of the population. Haven't they figured out why people are so concerned about it.

Town Government

Two short years ago the Citizens of Eatonville voted overwhelmingly NOT to change its form of government. A selective few are forcing their point of view on the whole. If this is something that they want, then raise the money to put it on the ballot and allow the people their voice. DO NOT allow the Council to vote this in to being just because "They can". And - the Council can do this!

I used my nickname because the group forcing the code city issue is not to be trusted.

I have lived in Eatonville for 50 years.
