Elect leaders who will slow sprawl, before it's too late | Letters Original
There’s growing dismay by local residents over unrestrained development in Kitsap County. Residents repeatedly state that they don’t recognize our community anymore. People are grieving the loss of the community they’ve loved. What’s worse is the feeling that no matter what we say or do to get our city councils, mayors, county commissioners, or state representatives to act on our behalf, it’s falling on deaf ears. They no longer represent us.

Use common sense and avoid the Krampus in Kitsap
Jeri Stockdale, Central Kitsap Kitsap Sun One year ago, Leavenworth rejected Krampus from becoming part of their traditional Christmas celebrations. After their repulsion, they came to Bremerton. This year they have returned with expanded events around our county. It’s imperative that our residents know the origins of this demonic monster. A quick online search shows it is from mythology, and thought to predate Christianity.

One year ago, Leavenworth rejected Krampus from becoming part of their traditional Christmas celebrations. After their repulsion, they came to Bremerton. This year they have returned with expanded events around our county. It’s imperative that our residents know the origins of this demonic monster. A quick online search shows it is from mythology, and thought to predate Christianity. He is part demon, a creature with horns who would be a terrifying monster to children based solely on his appearance.
Development's potential approval means more damage to our landscape
Jeri Stockdale, Central Kitsap Kitsap Sun It’s my understanding that Kitsap County plans to determine that a 55-acre development planned near Island Lake will have no significant impact on the environment, so they can avoid the state’s environmental impact study. If this development, with its proximity to Barker Creek and Island Lake, doesn’t qualify as worthy of further attention when the intent is to add over 300 homes, then I don’t know any projects that ever will.
County zoning plans will destroy rural life in Kitsap
Jeri Stockdale, Poulsbo The Kitsap County Planning Commission currently backs Alternative 3 for determining growth within our county. In layman’s terms, this means ripping the heart out of our rural Central Valley community in order to add more money to the county coffers. Rezoning from rural to low density will grant developers the ability to bulldoze about one hundred acres of forest, and build over 700 homes in this pristine area.
Preserve Central Valley by keeping high-density housing in Silverdale
Jeri Stockdale, Poulsbo Central Valley has a rich history, and has added immensely to the quality of life for our community for many generations. Today it is threatened because of development permitted in previously rural zoned areas. Recently 150 acres of the Island Lake Camp was sold to developers; 55 acres is already zoned for 5-9 houses per acre.
Democrats have shown they don't have the answers
Jeri Stockdale, Poulsbo I used to vote mostly Democrat. Not anymore. I did not leave them. They left me. Their ideology has driven them to implement insane policies resulting in high prices for groceries and gas, higher taxes, and soaring crime rates creating unsafe communities. They have been in charge of our cities, county, and state long enough to “own” all of these issues.
Vote Republican as the party of law and order
Jeri Stockdale, Poulsbo If a majority of Americans believe our country is headed in the wrong direction, it should influence our voting. Washington’s legislative policies, passed by an overwhelming majority of Democratic representatives, have made us the most criminally friendly state in the country. If you are sick of car thefts, random shootings, and drug dealing, vote for law and order.
I'm voting against the levy to send a message
The Central Kitsap School District board has repeatedly dismissed the legitimate concerns of parents, grandparents, and concerned citizens in our district. We have fought over inappropriate posters, librarian-approved books that groom young children toward sexuality and gender confusion, and critical race theory in the classroom that teaches you are either racist or a victim based on your skin color.
Let's find an alternative to Inslee
OPINION Jeri Stockdale, Poulsbo Published 10:57 a.m. PT July 8, 2020 It’s past time for a new governor for Washington State. Inslee has raised taxes by $25 billion this year, breaking his no new taxes promise. He hasn’t fired his appointed Employment Security Commissioner, Susan LeVine, even after a Nigerian scam stole millions of taxpayer money.
New York's law goes too far on abortion
Jeri Stockdale, Poulsbo Published 10:59 a.m. PT Jan. 29, 2019 New York recently legalized abortion up until the moment of birth, if a mother's health is in danger or the fetus not viable. Officials cheered, and had a huge celebration. The birth canal has become the magic pathway to life’s existence. Make it all the way out and hurray for you, you’re a human being.
