All mayoral candidates were invited to write a Letter to the Neighborhood Blog and post a photo. Kim Allen was probably Jim's closest campaign advisor. She encouraged him to enter Derby Days on a bike and challenge the candidates on campaign signs.
Dear Friends,
“Hometown or Employment Center?”
Redmond is facing a vision challenge with this mayoral election. The choice is clear-I want Redmond to remain a great hometown by thoughtfully planning our growth, maintaining our strong environmental ethic and developing a governing model that is transparent and accessible to all who call Redmond home.
I am running for mayor because, of all the candidates, I have the best portfolio of insight and experience to lead Redmond forward. Our fiscal challenges are acute but my plan for rebalancing our revenue choices and prioritizing the investment of the lion’s share of our ongoing money to maintain our high level of city services is a sensible approach.
Our capital expansion can and should require the citizen input inherent in including bond and levy increases in support of that type of investment. This nuanced approach should provide the course correction Redmond needs.
Just as in my career with Boeing, as Redmond’s Mayor I will follow through to make sure things happen.
My top priorities include a citizen’s budget and technology oversight committees, infrastructure maintenance, along with establishing a transportation commission, updating the Hartman Park Pool, and other new opportunities for volunteerism.
The citizens of Redmond have a lot to contribute. “Coming Home to Redmond” the choice is yours. http://www.robinsonformayor.com/
FROM JIM ROBINSON -- I was very disappointed with my Muni-League rating. The candidate questionnaires (submittals) can be found on the Muni-League website and I encourage anyone interested to read them and then make your own judgment. The ratings are just one of many data points that can be used in evaluating a candidate. I still strongly feel that on a facts and data basis I am the most qualified of the Mayoral candidates. 8/3/07

from Bob Yoder: Jim Robinson campaign signs are recylcable - made out of milk cardon materials. Lots of his signs are placed in busy medians. Not good practices "Safety is Priority 1"
