Bellevue has matured from the pioneering stage of streets, schools and sewers, through a youth of parks, pollution and protection, to its present phase of culture, consolidation and contemplation, under a single governmental structure. It’s time for our town to join the 11 major city players of Washington and assume greater control, cooperation and celebrity under our own Charter.

During the 26 years that I resided, raised a family and participated in the civic life of Bellevue, economic leadership was the exclusive focus for an adolescent community with trinkets, but few responsibilities. A Charter provides a mechanism for bringing residents, businesses and consumers together to move onto a period of achievement, influence and charm. Let’s join together and create a blueprint that artistically, economically and compassionately builds on the past, yet achieves a better future. Let’s not be afraid to explore the possibility that there might be a better way.

My name is James Haskin (Jim), I have lived in Bellevue for twenty-six years. For nineteen of those years,
I owned and operated an Office Products Company in Bellevue. Overall, I have forty-five years of
experience as a corporate manager and small businessman.

My community service includes two years as Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals, nine years as
an Officer in the National Office Products Assoc., and for the past three years I have been President of the
Wilburton Community Association. I am a member of Crossroads Bible Church, a father of five daughters,
and my wife Alice and I are proud to call Bellevue home. Our current form of Governance has served the
City well. For that reason, I am voting NO on Charter Now. That said, if the vote is yes, I would be honored
to represent your voice on the Charter Commission.
