GOV. GREGOIRE APPOINTED VALENZUELA TO FILL VACANT SEAT
"Gregoire's appointment of Valenzuela marked the end of a two-month process to find the successor for former commissioner Bob Macleod that started with the Thurston County Democratic Party, passed briefly to the two county commissioners and ended at the governor's office," quoting The Olympian last January.
VALENZUELA WAS TOP VOTE-GETTER IN AUGUST PRIMARY
"Valenzuela polled 44.5 percent of the 10,219 votes counted election night," quoting The Olympian.
VALENZUELA'S ACTION PLAN
"I have a five-point action plan that I am already at work on:
1. Bring sanity to the budget
2. Return to the letter and spirit of the growth management act
3. Confront climate change
4. Re-engage in Human Services’ partnerships
5. Work on inter-jurisdictional cooperation
Please support me this November in the special election to fill the remainder of the term to which I was appointed."

Steve,
Last night at the County Fire Commissioner's meeting we were told that the cost for fire compliance inspections in the County was $50 per inspection, plus $50 per building. That means that Walmart inspection is $100. This fee does not cover the cost to the County. Tax payers are making up the difference.
I would like you to ask Commissioner Valenzuela if she would support an increase in inspection fees to cover the full cost to the County (I won't be able to make the meeting my self).
