To the editor:

Some of our elected officials seem not to know how many residences they own.

At least John McCain didn’t lie; he just avoided telling the truth, sounding somewhat “uninformed.”

Mac McDowell, our long-time county commissioner, just plain lied about what he owns. A letter to the editor from Mr. Mosolino, who works with Mac’s wife as a realtor, attempted to defend Mac’s statement that he only owns a vacant lot, a small rental and his home, with a value of $400,000.

Mr. Mosolino suggested a little time on a computer checking tax records could prove that Mac was telling the truth. Well, when I checked the Island County tax records, I found that William (Mac) McDowell and his wife own eight tax parcels of real estate with and assessed value totaling over $2,789,600. We all know it is in reality worth much more. Mac just lied or he is unaware of what he owns.

Should we continue to keep him in a position of responsibility that requires truthfulness and or competence?

Truly it is time for a change. I’m voting for Angie Homola. She seems qualified, sincere and honest.
