King County Local Voters Pamphlet November 6, 2001 General Election METROPOLITAN KING COUNTY COUNCIL DISTRICT NO. 01, 4 YR TERM Note to Voters: The statements below are written by the candidates, who are solely responsible for the contents therein. List of Candidates for METROPOLITAN KING COUNTY COUNCIL DISTRICT NO. 01, 4 YR TERM Carolyn Edmonds Ed Sterner Carolyn Edmonds Democrat     Why would I want to give up representing you in the Legislature to serve you on the County Council? It is true that state policy drives local decisions. But, local government most directly affects peoples’ lives. The decisions facing the County are great:     •   TAXPAYER ACCOUNTABILITY         In Olympia I voted against great sounding items because I wanted to hold the line.     •  LOCATING THE NEW SEWAGE TREATMENT FACILITY         There must be sufficient opportunity for each of us to participate in the decision making process.     •  CLEANING UP AND CONSERVING THE WATER         We must preserve open space and sensitive areas as we manage growth.     •  FINDING TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS         We have to make progress in finding new transit options. At the least, we can improve the efficiency of what King County controls.     I’ve spent the last three years as your 32nd District State Representative. In a deadlocked legislature, I wrote and passed strong legislation for education, long-term care and low-income housing. I was named “Legislator of the Year” by Home Care Association, and “ Champion of Quality Care” by the Washington Health Care Association. Now, I’d like to work where we need the most help – the County Council.
