This just isn't the shelley show any more. Your 'businesses' are most likely yours and that of your joint chair person 'Left of Center'. Your hatred is your own. From all the paper has written and we have seen it is not the mayor who is at fault. It is not the city that is at fault. You have just got to go somewhere and understand you are responsible for your own actions.

Thank you for that clear statement. It really is the dfference between someone who talks only about self and one who talks about working together as a community. What decided me was the fact I could not get around that the challenger has no one willing to work with her unless they have their own agenda, special interest or ax to grind. Show me the name, let's name the ax.

Shelley I think you have seriously crossed over in your determination to blame the mayor for everything. You heard the answers. You have checked. You know your statements are not true. The chamber checked on the audit which is public record to all. The city asked for it to be examined and got a specific clean bill of health. The auditor made suggestions on changes to be made and the city did it. It is public record and some of us actually do check on what you tried to claim. It is simply basically wrong to be that hate filled.

Boy you people are arrogent in your own twisted beliefs. Four cities with over two hundred thousand people according to past articles with most of the storage capacity of the whole northwest and every one has done the same thing, the same rules, the same laws and you in your single-minded hate filled way try to blame our mayor? How about the mayors of the other cities, King and Pierce County, the state of Washington? How about the fact that almost all that development took place over the period of more than 50 years? This is pathetic.

Anyone who was at the debate knows that what is on the TV tape is so much less than what we all saw and heard. virginia is so far out of her league she can't see the field. As for her friend Shelley, well you know she is in another world.

OK, some actually do check. The missing money story was fully covered by this newspaper and others. Mayor asked for an independent investigation by King County Sheriff and prosecutor. Changed policies. Yes, again city has an award for 5 perfect audits. King County's standing isn't as high as Auburn. auburn isn't the question. Say that face to face to an Auburn cop dude. Saying a lie over and over - still makes it a lie.

It is time isn't it. We've seen this before in all these posts. It is time for us to stand up for those who are trying to make something better. It really is OK for us to stand together and say this is our time all of us together. He has shown us how we can all be a part of this together. How can we abandon him now. Vote for Mayor Pete for us all.

Smoke and mirrors, watch my other hand.
They seem to want to do anything, say anything to keep us from seeing the truth.

Watch the debate through the Reporter's link. See the truth and don't listen to the nonsense.

she's everywhere, she's everywhere! No manner where you turn you get this smear job. Looks like the mayor already answered about the money the police lost.I finally figured out the ooooo consiracy on the missing fire department. Remember the story about the two little islands of land one on the north side of town, one on the south end? Those two places were actually in unincoporated King County and had a hokey little fire district and the commissioners left town? The county had to put together a whole new board to work with the fire authority. Yep, that's another in her long list of oh so scary conspiracys. Isn't it time for the paper to finally take her off?

For newmayor please understand it isn't just the mayor who wants to try and who has been waiting for so very long to see something positive happen in our town. The $250,000 for 25 years pays for $3 million the city got from the state which is the match for the $3 million the city got from the federal government. At least they are trying and many businesses are backing it because the mayor and majority of Council are trying. Stop complaining, stop holding us all back and telling eveyone what can't be done. Many do believe that finally something good might happen here.

Here we go again to wackville!
Start off with a lie and then use more to make it seem like fact.
Missing drug money, oh my.
Oh, missing drug money - through a fire department.
First, drug money is through police. Second there is no connection stated by any one at any time between one and the other. Check it out.Wacky.
Then there's the deal mayor said increase business base not to rely on utility and property taxes -oops, well no he just said property taxes - didn't he Shelley?
So what do you think will happen if we don't try but the most telling is she says every thing is going up by end of year. So who would know that who would ever talk to Shelley. Well, just her friend Virginia.

Now those of us who do read saw both Renton and Kent laying off people. Our mayor and Council, oops, all but one who always votes no, already did cuts and cut budget months ago. So which do you trust Shelley and her candidate Virginia or the mayor and council that have been working without her trying? Look at the votes. I did.

Chamber, several unions, businesses, hundreds of people endorsed the mayor. Go check the websites of both, I did.

Look for the truth,check the facts and make sure they are facts, not this nonsense.

Re: Time to select wild card in Haugen - Auburn Reporter

aubbusiness — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:39:01 -0000

Oh boy here we go again. newmayor figures anyone who disagrees must be the mayor or staff.
Doesn't anyone read?
"If the city of Auburn is going to become a destination for state-of-the-art medical facilities, then let's just say it like it is"
The Chamber, the downtown assocation, city school district, all the people that worked on the downtown plan DID THIS! North of Main, medical and medical related. South of Main retail and residential.The plan was completed by us, the people, in 2001 - read it.

How about the nonsense of "If we can't bring any retail or entertainment business to our downtown core now, how in the world do we expect to attract the kind of business leases" Geez, $250,000 a year for twenty five years is the payment on $3,000,000 bond to do all the work - it's in this very newspaper.Get real.

As far as the leases - just how do you think a bank made the loan without pre-leases? Have you ever run a business, had to go to the bank?

"And all the while the city center sits nearly vacant ... it is an eyesore and a source of embarrassment for many of our residents. That is a fact".Really, the lowest vacancy rate in downtown in 20 years and that's bad? Try again, just because that one family got taken and there's a big parking lot at least they tried - how about you?

Have to tell you I was very upset with the debate - that's it's even gotten this far. Someone is trying to change the town for the better, to take it away from those good old boys - and gals in this case that have kept us down for so long. It's time to stand up for change and vote to re-elect our mayor.

Mayor Pete showed up to be mayor, Virginia didn't. He talked directly to the people without notes. She kept on trying to find hers. The mayor answered every question with specifics. She went wildly off track with each one. The mayor talked of us, we, together, community, she talked only of me, I and mine.
The mayor knew what he was talking about,had specifics and showed it. She talked against, had no plan for action except withdraw and retreat. He had specific programs and plan for the future, she only said what she was against.
Mayor Pete said it was a clear choice, he's so right it is embarassing it's gotten this far.

aubbusiness — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:17:33 -0000

This is getting despicable! Are you honestly implying the mayor had something to do with that SWAT team incident where the guy committed suicide? That's awful!

Further have you ever actually read the paper you are emailing? The judge in print said specifically Virginia Haugen most likely did lie, that she did lie to the police in fact. Then the judge said the Tacoma prosecutor filed the wrong charge. Read the paper.

As for the mayor and small business which one has been a member of the Chamber for almost 30 years? Which one has helped, really helped with good advice, loans and a helping hand when needed small businesses all over this town? Ask they Chamber they will tell you. Ask them what Virginia has ever done for business anywhere. she won't even help us get any money for our town.

This woman has been about hate from the first date and look at her choice for mayor. That has to mean something and a lie told over and over is a method used by hatefilled people all over the world.

Can we stop with the ongoing threats? They are blogs. People can write. Just because they do not agree with you does it always have to be some kind of plot? It ireally seems to be getting close to if you don't agree with me i'm going to get you!

I'm for debate. Let's hear what both candidates have to say. If you say few will be there then why do you worry about it. If you say only a few hundred out of thousands will see it then again why would you worry about it. Let them debate how can it harm you?

Then you go on and complain that you don't like the venue that it is too small, no parking. You want the city to pay for parking your car? Really?

Stay on issues. Go to the debates. Listen and learn and do not let anyone tell you that you cannot listen, you can not talk or that you can be intimidated.

You may be right. The stain of Shelley should not be a deciding factor in this case. This is going to be about who is best in this position today under these conditions. Good point but with the other race, well they're too close together for me not to believe the mayor is the only way to go.

Re: Local candidates square off at forum - Auburn Reporter

aubbusiness — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 22:33:47 -0000

OK, here's some right from the two forums we saw

"We should go back to the good old days where decisions were made in the back of a poolhall with a beer" Back to the old ways the good old boy way hiding from any one's sight.
"When I am mayor I will stop development dead right now" and let our town die
"If we had someone in Olympia who would work for us instead of someone just walking the streets of Auburn" isn't a good way to talk about our Gov. Chris Gregoire
" When I'm elected mayor we're going to have a council that isn't just a bunch of yes men, puppets of the mayor"
How about the most recent one, don't need to belong to any groups, go any where to get money for our city?
It's all been seen and heard by so many including this newspaper.
