We have a big decision to make as a community with electing our next assembly. What type of life do we envision for ourselves? We are at a crossroads. We must not allow outsiders to dictate what happens in our valley and impact our long-term economic viability and health. It’s not just about us. It will limit our ability to be conscientious stewards of this magnificent land. Look at what happened with the ferry strike that occurred right before the state fair. It was all of us pulling together at the last minute that saved the day. We can and do work very well together when truly pressed into service.
When looking at the candidates for assembly, I asked myself who would be best at protecting the long term physical and economic health of our community—including the ability to bring us together rather than tear us apart? Two candidates stand out from the others: Sally McGuire and Zephyr Sincerny. They grasp the support and services required to create jobs that improve the quality of life in our valley including a long term focus on developing clean energy alternatives that will free us from diesel. Let’s vote for a future that creates a community that works for everyone rather than supports a few special interests that could ruin life here for every living creature. Sally McGuire and Zephyr Sincerny have the fortitude to make this a reality.
