Upfront with Robert Mak
Today being Sunday, I’m reminded once again of a post I’ve been meaning to make for a while:
Robert Mak is awesome!
During the summer and the early-fall “pre-election” season, at some point I saw a promo for Robert’s “Upfront” show (KING5 – Sunday at 4:30pm, plus other times it’s rebroadcast). Anyways, long story short I was hooked. It’s a great local politics show, covering city, county, and state issues in much more depth than you’ll see in a 2 minute segment on the news. Interviews with candidates, short and informal debates, review and dissection of ads for the various ballot initiatives… if it’s important to Seattle politics, he’s got it on that show!
So bravo Robert Mak! You’re on my weekly “must watch” list and I really appreciate what you do for Seattle political awareness!

I am against the “Build Instate Requirement” concerning Ferries as is Senator Cheryl Pflug from Bainbridge relating to the Ferry System mess. I have been interested in this action for over two years because I believe that we need to look at different types of ferries to serve the people of Washington State.
I would like to know your thinking on the Senate Bill 6794 and have attached some facts on our Ferry System. I’m 75 years old and have been riding the ferries for almost that many years and believe me there is a great deal we could do to provide better service. I have spoken to State Rep Larry Seaquist in person, but he has not even replied to that request for a meeting although he promised to do so. Sen. Seaquist’s stance calling this effort to get out of state bids a “double bad idea” is way off of reality. I know that our State could save money and time and I hope you can jump on this “Bid and Build Instate Only,” subject quickly.
Regards,
John R. Lind

John Lind Sr – I think you’re trying to ask Robert Mak these questions rather than me? In any case, you might want to post these to the Upfront blog: http://blogs.king5.com/upfront/. I suspect Robert does not read my blog comments.
