Bruce Bassett for Council

Letters to the Editor - Mercer Island Reporter - September 20, 2007

Bruce Bassett, who is running for City Council, has done tremendous things for our neighborhood. He led the effort to connect us as a community and to improve the safety of our streets.

We have seen him work with the school district and city council to replace the field at the middle school — and watched him donate countless hours of his time to bring our neighborhood of 100 homes into the electronic age.

We believe Bruce would bring similar benefits to all residents of Mercer Island if he is elected to the City Council. We strongly support his candidacy and encourage you to consider voting for him as well.
