Council Retreat Location


I don’t know how the decision got made for the council to have its annual retreat at Clearwater Casino Resort. (Maybe I was sleeping or something).

Because I led the effort to ban casinos in Edmonds, I am a little sensitive about gambling establishments. However, I will go participate, even though I don’t like the location. Fortunately, you don’t have to worry that I will gamble. I just gambled 6 grand of my own money on my re-election. I am done with gambling for a while.

May I put a plug in again for having the retreat at Edmonds? If the city, city officials, and staff are going to spend some money on a retreat, why not do it to the benefit of our own merchants? It’s also easier for citizens to attend the retreat if it's held in Edmonds.
