Letter | Cook has passion for North Bend

Published 1:17 pm Thursday, October 15, 2015

I have served on the North Bend City Council eight years with David Cook. I have always been appreciative of his professional attitude and passion for the well-being of the citizens and the city of North Bend.

He always treats everyone with respect and dignity, and has shown an ability to listen and attempt to understand both sides of an issue.  Even when we have disagreed on an issue, he has been professional and respectful.

I have never seen him deviate from these attributes. He has been honest and forthright in his views, and I have never felt that he was anything but wholeheartedly concerned about the welfare of this city.

David has worked hard for this city and his calm leadership has been proven by the great strides that have been made while not increasing the property tax one cent. It is easy to fall into the trap of wanting to talk about trying to accomplish great goals at the expense of the taxpayers, but David has consistently brought these pitfalls forward to protect us as citizens. I wholeheartedly support David in his bid for re-election to the city of North Bend City Council, and urge you to do so as well.
