Letter to the editor: Developer interests are controlling decisions in Clark County

Posted

I thought I would never vote for a Democrat.

I have always voted straight Republicans, but not this time.

Like most, the amount of urban sprawl in rural areas concerns me greatly.

Adrian Cortes says he wants to preserve rural character and is against the 2000-acre sprawl development on 179th that was recently approved by county council. If this keeps up, Clark County will look just like Portland. 



His opponent voted for it.

In my opinion, real estate industry and developer interests are controlling decisions made by the council, and it’s about time it stopped. Listen to people for a change.
