LETTERS FROM PAGE 6 Old Bags support Tolbert In her capacity as Executive Director of the annual Arlington Fly-In, Barbara Tolbert has shown her organizational skills as well as her dedication and devotion to Arlington. What many may not know is how involved this lady is in a myriad of volunteer efforts throughout this community — President, Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation; board of the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce and Lions Club. Past service includes the Arlington School District Facilities Committee; Director, Snohomish County Tourism Board; and recently Chair of the EMS levy committee to ensure Emergency Medical Services to our community for the future. The Old Bags of Arlington are proud to recommend Barbara Tolbert for Mayor of Arlington in the upcoming election. Sherry Cox Vice President Old Bags of Arlington
Arlington Fire Fighters Local 3728 endorses Tolbert for Mayor Arlington Fire Fighters Local 3728 is proud to endorse Barb Tolbert for Mayor of Arlington. We are honored to stand with a candidate who has given so much time and leadership to our department. Barb selflessly volunteered to work with us over the course of two campaigns to providing paramedic services for our city. Barb’s leadership was inspiring, and her ability to manage the campaign ensured success. Our city is facing challenges and we believe Barb has the vision, energy and commitment to look at new direction and steer a good course for Arlington and its residents. Her ability to inspire people will be well received by city staff and residents. We welcome the opportunity to work with her. Those in our community who have had the privilege of working with Barb know that she is highly professional and very passionate about Arlington. Barb will guide Arlington on a positive path while retaining a strong sense of community.
Please join us in voting for Barb Tolbert for Mayor of Arlington on Nov. 8, promoting a strong future for the city of Arlington. Dan Hargroves President, Arlington Fire Local 3728 on behalf of the members of Local 3728
Allen for city Council I read the Everett Herald’s recent article endorsing various candidates for the upcoming Marysville City Council race with interest. Unfortunately, the information on Scott Allen who is running for Position 5 was all too brief. In my association with Scott, I have found him to be incredibly well read and versed about the challenges Marysville faces; he has lived in Marysville for a long time and is a tireless volunteer with church, Kiwanis and the Masons. He is passionate about finding creative solutions to local issues such as traffic control, understanding that the city’s economic condition needs to be factored into any solution that Council may come up with and he is hard working, highly motivated and anxious to get into office and work tirelessly on behalf of our citizens. He has a great deal of administrative and management experience and would be happy to share that with the citizens of Marysville. I urge all voters to vote for Scott Allen for City Council on Nov. 8.

Vote for Tolbert for Mayor As we are all faced with challenges in our economies, both nationally and locally, we think now more than ever it’s important to consider the type of leadership that we elect into office. We had the opportunity this past spring to work side by side with Barb Tolbert on the city of Arlington’s Emergency Medical Services
Levy. This was an important levy for Arlington as its passing ensured continued paramedic services to be provided for the citizens of Arlington. Barb not only worked to secure after hours locations for volunteers to call voters, helped organize the house-to-house “doorbelling” efforts by our local firefighters/paramedics, but also worked with us to call our voters and to ensure understanding of the levy by our citizens. The levy passed with overwhelming success and our citizens will not incur additional taxes for it passing. She works tirelessly to understand the issues of growth, budget and change that affect our city. She’s smart, she does her homework and asks the questions that better help her understand the needs of our city. She does this by working with others and being open to the opinions and ideas expressed by others. The message is clear: Arlington would benefit from the partnership, collaboration and servant leadership spirit that Barb so embodies. Her goal is to work with people, through people and in collaboration with our citizens through the hard times and the good times. Realizing that not all decisions will be easy, she understands that her leadership success will be critical to how she best serves the citizens of Arlington. Please join us in supporting and voting for Barbara Tolbert for Mayor of Arlington this November. Laurie Ruffner Arlington

financial stability for our city and maintaining the core functions of government at a high level. Nehring has plans to improve our traffic with projects already underway and paid for as well as future projects that he has worked hard on and has specific ways to pay for without raising taxes. The challenger Kelly Wright has some very general suggestions for grandiose “large urban-city style” overpasses, etc. but when looking deeper they are very expensive (upwards of 80-100 million dollars) and he offers no specifics on how he would pay for them. We don’t need expensive bridges to nowhere that wipe out the businesses beneath them in Marysville. Let’s keep the steady and proven leadership of Nehring. His extensive business career coupled with his eight-plus years on the City Council and 14 months as Mayor show in his command of the challenges facing the city and how to deal with them “specifically.” Please vote to retain Jon Nehring as Mayor of Marysville Brad Nobach Marysville
