North Bend needs to annex the Riverbend and Cedar Village neighborhoods

Citizens and property owners tired of King County tell you how to do things.  My hometown of North Bend could offer you better protection with local police and required fire service.  Please tell my friend Ken Hearing and North Bend City Council you want to protection that local government provides instead of having take law enforcement orders from Renton at the Norm Maleng Justice Center you could instead have law enforcement from E 2nd Avenue and Main Street in North Bend.  Have local fire service from North Bend and Cedar Falls Way in North Bend instead from Issaquah.  Come on Riverbend and Cedar Village decide to come into North Bend you have better protection.  Imagine having not just exits 31, 32 and most of exit 34.  Snoqualmie does not even have Interstate 90 in one exit in their boundaries yet. 

Private property should never used for entrance to Chugach State Park

We already have entrances to Chugach State Park and now they want to go through a private property to create more access to a state recreational area.  I say no way Jose.  The entrances we have are adequate why put more traffic in area especially when the region of Eagle River and Chugiak does not want it.  Environmentalist need to understand that open space does not your space.  Please tell the Anchorage Assembly no entrance private property next to park is okay.  Remember the property owners came first not the park.
