Seven years of promises and more promises, and I have not seen any retail stores coming up here on the Plateau so that we do not have to run 20 miles round trip to get a pair of socks or some shoes.

The Sammamish City Council and the Planning Commission are a big sham. Our tax dollars being wasted on more parks and other things that just cost money and do not bring in any tax revenues. If you look around, you will see every development has land set aside for parks. We have so much land just sitting.

Albright Park over on 212th — well it is between two up and coming developments, and they have their park areas set aside. Who is taking care of these parks? Ah yes, those green and yellow trucks which I think belong to Northwest landscaping service. Why don’t our parks people do it?

We do not need any more parks and other crap that they are doing. We only get about one month of nice weather around here to use them. What we need is businesses to generate a tax base. Instead of a bunch of day schools that generate nothing but a tax liability.

And by the way, have any of you ever seen a town of 50,000 with three high schools on its main drag? And what about all the churches?

We are not a city. We are just a bunch of stupid people that have been conned into being a giant subdivision between two cities.
