I watched online or attended every council and public meeting as the San Juan county council deliberated for months about awarding the solid waste contract for Orcas.
We are writing this letter in support of Lisa Byers for San Juan County Council. We are fortunate to have such a candidate. She is strong and principled, yet an effective negotiator. What’s more, she is an administrator with an impressive track record.
