West Richland: Bloom

I would like to encourage residents of West Richland to vote for Richard Bloom for city council. Richard has a thorough understanding of city government and the issues facing West Richland today. His knowledge of the budget as well as the city's comprehensive plan, traffic improvement plan and municipal code is outstanding. As the Herald rightly pointed out, Richard "seems motivated by a desire to preserve West Richland's semi-rural lifestyle." However, I disagree with their belief that "his ideas seem out of touch with the majority of West Richland voters." Richard believes that West Richland can create economic growth without destroying the rural atmosphere that most residents currently enjoy or putting undue strain on the city's infrastructure, to the detriment of its citizens and their quality of life.

If elected, Richard will represent and work for the citizens of West Richland, not the developers. He will work to make West Richland better, not just bigger.

Vote for Richard Bloom for city council.

LISA RICHMOND, West Richland
