From the Mailbag…

We hear from Louise Dustrude…
Imagine the impact on our community if everyone who is having trouble paying for housing were to leave. I don’t believe the rest of us could function without them — people such as teachers, sheriff’s deputies, EMTs, firefighters, food service workers, and others.
Ours are among the lowest wages and highest home prices in the state, and this combination is already driving valued members of the community away.
Passing the Yes for Homes initiative will go a long way toward helping to solve this problem.
Please vote Yes when you get your ballot in October.
