The King Conservation District is holding a special election today for Supervisor Position 3. The race is between incumbent Bobbi Lindemulder (a Snoqualmie Valley farmer, endorsed by other rural landowners) and challenger Kevin
Raymond, a Seattle Democrat activist and former lobbyist for the Seattle Monorail, who is being heavily promoted by the Ron Sims' Seattle Democrat machine to impose Ron Sims extremist environmental agenda on rural landowners.
For some reason, this election is not managed by King County Elections. That means that there's a chance it will be conducted fairly, but only for those who know about it and can show up in person at one of the few polling places. Be sure to vote if you can. As Andy wrote about last year's KCD election, the contest was decided by 66 votes. (polling times, locations and details for today's election here)

It really makes your argument easy to discard. Pick and choose shows partisanship...nothing more.
Posted by: LovinUSA on March 28, 2006 10:19 AMIt should be noted that KCD has some new funding that libs would like to direct. Bobbi should be voted in because she has great credentials and will serve farmers which is why KCD exists.
Ron, Larry and Dows man would direct this new funding to their environmental pet projects. What this is really about is a new revenue stream that they want to control.

He lives here...who can figure?
Posted by: South County on March 28, 2006 12:25 PMTrust me in that you will want to get car loads of friends to go in on this. Down here the Thurston office was not in a county building, well hidden -THEN- when I went in there they were rounding up random people in off of the street to vote.
This position is very much part of the dem machine to control the chunk of property taxes they collect to fund it. They only thing I know the group to be doing is voting to give the money to other parts of the machine.
Posted by: andy on March 28, 2006 12:31 PMSo elections everywhere are screwed up. OK, so we should just accept it? I think not. Let's fix what we can close to home. Just because nobody else can run clean elections doesn't mean we shouldn't expect it locally.
stick with the status quo... typical lemming.
Posted by: lemming on March 28, 2006 01:02 PMIf they are closing at 7PM, they will most likely get another 150 or so for a total of 280.
Would someone please report how many have voted at the other locations?
Just plan on getting 350 at each of the other 3 sites to make up for these Seattle numbers.
"This is not a "King County Election" - it is a King Conservation District election. If you are registered to vote in King County you are allowed to vote. Generally fewer than 500 people vote, so every vote is very important. This group has jurisdiction (somewhat shared with the county council) on spending the $10 per parcel assessment/tax collected in King County - so the spending of millions of dollars will be impacted by this election."
He also sent me the letter from Ron Sims and Larry Phillips endorsing their leftist candidate, while at the same time he endorsed the incumbant and stated both he and his boss would be voting today for her.
Isn't it amazing how an election can occur with no notice on the county's website, or even on the King Conservation District's website? You'd almost get the impression that they don't want uninvolved voters to participate?
This is just another sweet example of democracy in King County, where the result from several hundred votes in a county of a million voters will result in elected officials with the authority to spend millions of taxpayer dollars a year, and more than likely, send most of it to friends of Ron.
