Posted by: nathant on November 2, 2005 12:24 AM1.) I recently lost 50% or my land to CAO, with no compensation, yet in the same year, my land property taxes did not drop 50%, they increased 5% over the year before, over $5000 more than before CAO....What gives?
2.) Would Ron Sims support the CAO going state wide, meaning 50% to 65% of everyone's land in this state be taken by his government (with no compensation whatsoever), and no equivilent relief in property taxes?

The White Center, North Highline Unincorporated Area. In September this year the King County Housing Authority identified it as "the poorest community in King County." My question to Mr. Sims, under your leadership for nine years as King County Executive, what's taken you so long to solve these problems? — Savun Neang, White Center
R.S.: King County, under my leadership, has been given a great deal of credit for much of the redevelopment activities over the last eight years within the White Center community. Early on in my tenure, we persuaded the Casey Foundation to establish new programs in the neighborhood and just yesterday the King County Council unanimously adopted our proposal to establish the Technology Access Foundation in a new community center. It was our local contribution that successfully secured the Hope IV grant for the King County Housing Authority. We have made road and traffic improvements, established new and safer pedestrian crossings, established youth and adult training programs specifically for the White Center community, and worked with the Highline School District to create new opportunities within the schools in the area. This community now has one of the largest community WI-FI access zones in any metropolitan community.
THIS IS THE FOLLOW UP QUESTION AND DID NOT GET ANSWERS FROM RON SIMS:
Mr. Sims you said, you have made road and traffic improvements, established new and safer pedestrian crossings in White Center, I think you taken too much credits.
Early this year, on the cross walk 16th Ave SW & SW Roxbury Street a pedestrian was die result of improper turn signals. Since 2003 we had been asked for proper turn signals, why we didn’t get the results?

Posted by: Scott in Carnation on November 2, 2005 08:32 AMWho is Sims debating? Iron or Sharkansky?
Siegel is asking good questions, but can't get through or around the shifty Sims.
Posted by: swatter on November 2, 2005 08:59 AM"I don't like the question so I just won't respond to it."
We understand Ron . . . believe me we do.
Then you say that observers, both Democrat and Republican say the elections procedures have been improved?
I was an observer both during the 2004 recount and the recent Sheriff's primary election recount and the elections procedures have not only NOT been improved but they slackened considerably. None of the Republican observers would agree with this current issuance of Sims bank-worthy certitude because they all remarked about the obvious violations of the Elections Division's own rules for recount procedures. Something about strict compliance with rules eludes liberals.
Sims is full of himself, know what I mean?
Posted by: Amused by liberals on November 2, 2005 09:16 AMOn another note, I think Mike Siegel missed a great opportunity to go after Sims, especially when he claimed that Shark's allegations were proven unfounded. I would have asked him to name one allegation that was proven unfounded.
Double GAG!
Posted by: C. Oh on November 2, 2005 09:38 AMWe have contacted all the local MSM trying to get them to contact Stefan and report all the fraud and corruption he has uncovered. Also trying to get them to report on the conflict of interest with Logan and this election. SILENCE!
Wished there was a way to get Stefan's findings to the voters before the election.

Almost her entire family??????????????
Where have you been CLOWN!
A Battle-Ax mother and an even loonier sister is far from the entire family. The fact is way more other family members (sister, aunts & uncles) back David and confirm the old BATTLE-AX hates her son because of his political views.
What kind of mother would do this publicly???? A MAMA CLOWN!
Folks would rather deal with Sims horrible leadership on Transportation, Election Dept., SWA and the CAO. These are issues that affect everyone. Now add to that, SIMS attempt to ram a smoke-and-mirrors budget!!!!
David CLOWNstein’s SHI*SQUAD Tactics have lead to refocus the election debate away from Sims record and onto an 11-year-old allegation where the poor abused Battle-Ax NEVER filed formal charges.
David Irons has taken the high road on this. I respect him for it.
Sims on the other hand, tries to pretend he and his staff knew nothing about it.
But then POOF, CLOWNstein and SindelCLOWN admit discussing and orchestrating it.
Many voters are sick of Sims and his SHI*SQUAD’s. They are offensive.
If SIMS loses====LoganCLOWN is FIRED!!!!!!!!
If IRONS wins====LoganCLOWN is FIRED!!!!!!!!!
Good enough for me.
Enough of this slickly-packaged corruptness and garbage and trashing of the voter by the Sims Cabal !
