For an Ethical Woodinville...

Please call Mayor Bernie Talmas at 425-489-2700 or email citycouncil@ci.woodinville.wa.us and ask him to support stronger ethics rules for the city council that oppose cyber bullying and promote civility in Woodinville City government.

Threatening Letter with Needle Sent to City Hall

The Woodinville Weekly reported this week that a threatening letter with a sharp needle was sent to City Hall.

Inside the envelope was a page print-out of the EthicalWoodinville.com home page and the words scrawled:
" THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION WOULD BE TO SEW SHUT ASPEN'S MOUTH."

It is a sad event when these kind of things do not surprise us anymore.

Aspen's reply was spot on: "I am not sure if citizens think they can behave badly because some of the city leadership does or the city leadership behaves badly because some of our citizens do."

Maybe some Council members are starting to get it. We hope so.

Remember to contact your Council members and ask them to support stronger ethics rules for Council behavior. We might not be able to hold accountable every random crazy person who sends needles to City Hall, but we can hold our own elected officials to a higher standard.
