I am endorsing Todd Best for the position of mayor of the city of Bremerton.

Having been the interim public works director in Bremerton for about three months under the current mayor a couple years ago, I know that Todd would far better serve the citizens and city employees.

I don’t believe the current mayor has either the citizens’ or city workers’ best interest in mind.

She simply didn’t when I was there and she wanted to cut 27 positions and 17 personnel from public works — a move that would have decreased service to the public considerably.

I feel Todd looks at city operations with far more common sense. I highly recommend him for mayor.
