Pinky Vargas announces for state senate
Bellingham City Council representative Pinky Vargas, announced on Saturday that she will run for the state Senate seat in the 42nd District which is most of Whatcom County. This seat is currently held by Doug Ericksen. It is unknown what his plans are. Doug recently changed his mind about a job offer by the Federal EPA in Seattle. While some have said the Herald jumped the gun, the facts we have gotten from very reliable sources is Ericksen learned he would have to quit his state Senate seat and reversed his decision. His state Senate seat provides him and his family with very fine health coverage.
The state senate race is an example of a Cornelian Dilemna. Ericksen? Vargas? Vargas? Ericksen? Ericksen? Vargas? Both lead you where you do not want to go. It makes one’s head spin. Running full speed into a wall will stop the spinning, at least temporarily, but it won’t stop the election. SAD.
