It's Prom Night for the Miles Twins!
As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents.
It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved.
It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces.
I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible.

YOUR CIVIC DUTRY --
DID YOU VOTE in YOUR MUNICIPAL ELECTION ON MONDAY?
You should not complain about things when you do not exercise your rights. Your refusal to help find solutions is on you!
Voting is only one way to help find solutions to problems.
Getting involved in your community is an extension of voting.
Staying in touch with your elected official and ensuring they represent you is the ultimate goal of representation and voting. It's called accountability.
Currently, accountability of elected officials appears to be practiced ONLY by the rich. Everyone else seems to vote, go back to business as usual, continue to complain, and blame others for conditions in their neighborhoods.
Democracy is not having the right to participate in the decision-making process but exercising those rights and being a part of the solution.
Doing nothing or just complaining will not solve the problem.
When was the last time you contacted, met with, or got involved with your elected officials (municipal, county, state, federal, or HOA, if you have one).
A word to the wise should be sufficient.
