On the horns of a dilemma

I’m on the horns of a dilemma (whatever that means).

I spent 10 months running for a seat on the Lacey City Council because I believed that Lacey residents and Lacey taxpayers were being ill-served by the dozen of regional boards and commissions serving the city.  I believed that current members of the Lacey council either didn’t know or didn’t care about the “Olympia-centric” bent of these boards and how Olympia is more important than Lacey.

I was also concerned that in the drive towards regionalization of local issues – –  Lacey is being left out in the cold.  Remember that three sitting members of the Lacey council have businesses in Olympia.

So – here’s my dilemma.

How can I continue to criticize the current Lacey council and their apparent lack of concern for Lacey – – without looking vindictive or petty?

If you have an answer, email me at balsley@cco.net or call me at 360-456-8964.  I need your advice.
