LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Goose hunt cruel, unnecessary
Honeymoon Lake’s community board has renewed their contract with the USDA wildlife services to eliminate Canadian geese from the lake again this summer. In the middle of the night at the end of June last year, shots rang out and two pairs of geese and their goslings were killed in time for summer barbecues. And now it is going to happen all over again.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Whidbey needs another bridge
The Seattle area is now listed as one of the leading super commuter cities in the nation, and Whidbey Island certainly contributes to the problem, which could be corrected with a route from Oak Harbor east to Interstate 5 at 300th NW.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Don’t overlook voter ID card
Last week I almost tossed out my new voter I.D. card which had been sent out by the Island County Auditor’s office. Even though I vaguely remember reading something about the mailing, I was not prepared for this unobtrusive bit of paper among my piles of junk mail.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Beauty found along highway
What a pleasure it is to drive by the Allen property on Highway 525 just south of Greenbank and see all the beautiful rhododendrons in full bloom. Just another of Whidbey’s caring, loving property owners. Thank you Don and Jan Allen for helping our Island to be beautiful.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Firefighter supports levy
I have been a firefighter with South Whidbey Fire/EMS for 11 years and, from what I’ve seen, the district has been a good steward of my tax money. I may not agree with every cent of every expenditure, but I firmly believe that they are well reasoned expenses and I support the levy lift.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Bailey dances to ALEC’s tune
Imagine a political system where corporations have secret access to state legislators and then meet with those legislators to craft legislation that directly benefit their bottom line.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | No need to print it twice
I just read Judith Lamontagne’s narrow minded letter about not legalizing pot in the May 5 Record. Again. I thought it sounded awfully familiar, and sure as heck, there it was in the April 18 Record, verbatim (and ad nauseam, I might add).
