Marilyn Rasmussen, as state senator, vigorously defended the rights and interests of the residents of Pierce County. During the many years fighting the LeMay-Sutherland garbage dump, she GÇô unlike Piece County and Tacoma governing bodies and agencies GÇô did not come under the influence of the LeMay garbage monopoly's unlimited monetary contributions. Unfortunately, the LeMay-Sutherland dump is established and will become another LeMay-á Superfund site, poisoning the water of many tens of thousands.
I wrote a letter to state Rep. Jim McCune, expressing-á my concern about such destructive activities as the LeMay-Sutherland dump, and hoped for some response to indicate that he would actively work to preserve our water and land for future generations. I received back hyperpolitical publications that were absolutely antiscience and certainly lacking any intelligent consideration of an environment in peril.
I feel Pierce County would be ill-served by Rep. McCune being elected to the County Council. He seems very willing to sacrifice our water and land to benefit the very few, and has little compassion and a very shallow understanding of the needs of the majority.
