Ron HAWORTH
Our city will face immediate and significant challenges even for the most experienced elected officials. Serious problems related to our roads, population and services need attention while creating a city government from scratch. On the job training is not in our best interest. Ron has over 34 years experience managing municipal budgets the size of our new city and taught budget skills to local municipalities. As fire chief of our local fire district he negotiated joint operation agreements between neighboring Cities and Fire Districts, developed ordinances, worked with city managers and mayors. Ron is a lifelong resident of Washington, 29 years in Sammamish area, married (39 years), father of 2 and previous softball coach. "We should Slow Growth with a temporary moratorium, provide critical fire and police services, maintain quality, parks, lakes, trees and support schools while we keep our taxes low."		Ron HAWORTH
