To the editor:

City council candidate Michael Pollock has presented a gift to our city. His population capacity report is a must-read. If only the city had the resources to provide this kind of quality research and analysis, which the council could then use as a guide to intelligent, effective policy-making!

Go to www.pollock4council.com and read his thoroughly researched report, which includes footnotes to the many references he included for his analysis, as well as an appendix that lists the eight guiding principles of our comprehensive plan. Michael’s analysis addresses all of those principles.

It is clear that Michael is truly passionate about providing a strategy to manage development in a way that will maintain the values we cherish as Bainbridge residents.

When he becomes a member of the city council, we know Michael Pollock will contribute his methodical analytic skills for the benefit of our community and the island we treasure. That’s why he’s earned our votes.
