Letter: Peterson has skills in leadership

The Columbian
Published: October 30, 2012, 5:00pm

Sharon Wylie is not what the 49th District needs as state representative, Position 1. According to Evergreen Freedom Foundation, she has a disastrous record of taxing and spending. Out of 148 legislators, Wylie is rated the 35th biggest spender. Her addiction to our tax dollars will not move Washington in a good direction. We need a financially aware realist who will treat taxpayers’ dollars carefully.

Debbie Peterson has already proved that when she influenced Clark County commissioners to reject a 1 percent property tax hike last year. We need Peterson, a proven leader, in Olympia.
