Dave Gordon is not the answer in the Black Diamond mayoral race. He has a startling lack of knowledge about where the city is with the development process, about the history of the process, or about the city finances. He does not seem to be familiar with the state and county laws regarding growth.

His plan for dealing with the development seems to be more research, more analysis, and more review. I guess Dave was not involved in the years of planning, the hours of hearings, the hundreds of people providing testimony, and the appeals. The job of the next mayor is holding YarrowBay to the requirements of the development agreement, and going forward.

I don’t know what chamber candidate forum a previous letter writer went to, but I did not experience the bias she claimed. I thought the audience was balanced, the questions fair, and the time equal. Mr. Gordon seemed in an attack mode, short on details, and not well prepared.

Dave Gordon is not the answer for Black Diamond. Send Olness and Watson on to the general election
