Brett Bonner sent out his concession statement last night, shortly after the auditor posted the final 7,000+ absentee ballots. It shows class by the fellow who waged a positive and forthright campaign for mayor of Bellingham. I strongly supported Brett, and feel quite right in that decision. He would have brought a fair-play and open-process attitude to our city hall. His final statement attests to his attitude.Dennis Kucinich speaks in Bellingham today, Friday noon at WWU
The Presidential candidate will speak at the Performing Arts Center on the campus of Western Washington University in Bellingham on Friday, Nov 7. Doors open at 11:00 am and you must be seated by 11:30. Dennis will arrive at 11:45 am. Free tickets available at Village Books. Details at the Whatcom County for Kucinich site and the WA for Kucinich website.
