Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,

I thought I bought the perfect house when I got one on a dead end street next to the school. Three bedroom, two bath, fenced back yard.

Dear Gary,

In the upcoming general election you will find two levy requests of 25 cents per thousand from the Rural Emergency Medical Service and the City of Oroville Emergency Medical Service. These are the two agencies responsible for providing ambulance service to the Oroville area.

Dear Gary,

A candidate for a local political position called me this past week asking me how she had missed the invite to present at our last Oroville Chamber meeting. I assured her that out of the six local candidates that presented, none of them had been “invited” by the chamber.

Dear Editor,

I am writing this in support of Commissioner Don (Bud) Hover for re-election. Having worked directly for the Okanogan County Commissioners for 20 years I can tell you that Bud is a dedicated and honest commissioner. He is not only knowledgeable, but takes action at various levels of government fighting for the issues that concern the citizens of the county.

Dear Editor,

You and your staff at the Okanogan Valley Gazette-Tribune are worthy recipients of the first place award you were given by the WNPA. Knowing the time you have spent as a concerned and involved community leader and editor, this award recognized accomplishments you and your paper have been performing for years.

Dear Editor,

This election is one of the most important decisions that all residents of Okanogan County must make. Ballots are coming out to residents this week. This letter is to voice our support in re-electing Bud Hover to Okanogan County Commissioner for District 2.

Dear Editor,

I find it interesting how some people can say things that just aren’t supported by the facts. During the campaign I have heard people saying “that’s what I heard” instead of “that’s what I know.”

Dear Editor,

As someone who stays active on issues within our county, I am disappointed when an elected official I have supported and voted for takes credit for other people’s hard work and accomplishments. Throughout his campaign, Commissioner Hover has claimed that the success of the heavy-haul industrial corridor….

Dear Gary,

The morphable, shape-shifting, double-faced, ash pants, Pinocchio style Romney just might take the grand prize. If enough people who don’t care about facts vote for him, he will be our commander and thief.

Dear Editor,

As taxpayers, we would like to believe that when we elect our commissioner, they would do their job and take fiscal responsibility and pay attention to how our money is being spent. We all work very hard to get ahead, and when our money is wasted by elected officers who do not pay attention, it’s time to change the players.
