Linda has received the
endorsement of The News Tribune in the November 3rd general election.
The News Tribune’s editorial board endorsed Bird in the primary
because she has been part of a council majority that has been a force
for dramatically positive change in University Place. One need only
look at its parks, sidewalks, streetlights and other amenities to see
what Bird and her colleagues have accomplished for the young city.
Bird, a pioneer of incorporation, deserves another term. Her
opponent has not made a compelling case for unseating her. Indeed, some
who have served with him on other boards describe him as divisive and
inflexible – two qualities that would not serve him well on the City
Council.
