It’s time for a new mayor.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Our current elected official is too busy to be bothered with the little people of Kent. I send one email, and guess what I get? No response.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She’s not too busy to appoint an “independent committee” to vote in favor of her $35,000 pay increase, nor is she too busy to accept a $20,000 payout for unused vacation. Whatever happened to use it or lose it? Oh, I guess that’s just something us normal people have to deal with.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Mayor Cooke, I certainly did not vote you into office, and I will be more than happy to see you leave. Your leadership is a joke, and it makes me ashamed to be a resident of this fine city at times.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I don’t know why on Earth you think you deserve a pay raise, but you are delusional. You don’t even deserve your current salary.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
