I’m seeing political ads that say “it’s time for a change.” Those made me wonder if change is always good. Sometimes. But now? I don’t think so.

With each edition of the South Whidbey Record, I read letters to the editor that praise Helen Price Johnson and Angie Homola.
To the editor:
I currently work in the archives at the Island County Historical Museum in Coupeville. It has recently come to my attention that the county commissioners plan to cut the museum’s funding for the upcoming year by at least 60 percent.
To the editor:
Barbara Bailey is my choice for Washington State Senator in the 10th District. We need to have legislators who have proven they have integrity and the interests of their constituents as the central points in working to ensure that Washington state government serves us well.

I noticed with some concern the pictures in the South Whidbey Record of the students being taught bike safety in Langley.

After an eight-month delay, AT&T has finally responded to the Port of South Whidbey proposal to allow a cell tower to be built in the Dorothy Cleveland Trail Park.
To the editor:
The unfortunate dog-biting incident which happened recently in Langley cries out for some dispassionate thinking. The Langley City Council acted quickly to enact an ordinance which would address any future occurrences. Kudos to them.
To the editor:
The recent dog incident has soured me a bit about Langley. I followed and felt the alarm expressed about the vicious dog roaming the streets on Facebook’s “I Love Langley” site.
To the editor:
I have read glowing editorials and letters to the editor in the South Whidbey Record, the Whidbey Examiner and the Whidbey News-Times about our current county commissioners.

To the editor:
In all the years I’ve been eligible to vote I have only exercised that right ONCE. In my opinion it’s always voting for two different evils. I believe politicians are only in it for their own personal gains/agendas, not working for or representing us!
To the editor: It was the smirk that got to me.
I’m not surprised that Mitt Romney would criticize President Obama while our embassy in Benghazi was burning and our ambassador to Libya and three other diplomats lay dead.
