Sven Goldmanis

Tom Kenworthy

Sven

GOLDMANIS

I successfully led the citizens who stopped the oversized, overpriced community center proposal last year. I am continuing my efforts for a better community by running for City Council. Citizens are not being heard at City Hall. Taxes are too high and getting higher and our Council doesn't care, evident from their failure to stay within Referendum 47 property tax limitations. Neighborhoods don't count at City Hall, evident from the decision to allow a 133-foot monopole at the southend, overriding the recommendation of our own planning commission. The Council doesn't represent us, evident from their attempt to build the fire station at Mercerdale Park and their weak efforts to retain our single-occupant vehicle use of the I-90 HOV lanes. The Island has a bright future if its leaders represent us and not their own narrow agendas. A vote for Goldmanis will bring representative government back to Mercer Island.

CAMPAIGN ADDRESS: PO Box 1352, Mercer Island, WA 98040 TELEPHONE: (206) 236-1863

Tom

KENWORTHY

Tom and his wife, Jurene, are 23 year residents of Mercer Island. They have three children, Kathleen, Matt, and Sarah. Tom holds a BS from Iowa State University and a law degree. He served two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Colombia. Tom then worked as an Administrative Law Judge and in employee relations for the Federal government, and for Boeing. Now retired, Tom is anxious to bring his many years of experience to the Mercer Island City Council. Those who know him consider Tom to be a good listener and problem solver.

ISSUES include: 1) Mercer Islanders' I-90 commuter lane to Seattle 2) Real estate taxes 3) The Island's rural atmosphere 4) Senior citizens.
