This year I am celebrating your birthday by writing you this letter to tell of my own story intollerance and learning.
My first year in the state Legislature won’t be an easy one. With a 6 billion dollar shortfall, no direction for a Snohomish County college, and roads in our county waiting for improvements, we’ll need some creative ideas and even more perseverance to get through hard times.
Now is the time to move from financial rescue to economic recovery and long-term job growth. That’s why I have been working in Congress to pass an economic recovery package to create jobs here in Snohomish County, modernize local schools, highways and transit and help families who are struggling.
This is more like winter. A Puget Sound winter, that is. No more snow to reflect bright moon and star light onto my bedroom window. No smooth white blanket obscuring rotting autumn foliage. I like snow and might enjoy shoveling it if only I had a snow shovel. Snow is beautiful. No matter how deep it gets, it can never be as depressing as rain.
People tell me, “Angie, you are lucky to have so many supportive people in your life.” It’s true; however, I don’t consider it luck. Either these individuals have been gifted to me, or I have chosen these people to play important roles in my life. My gut tells me that it’s a combination of the two.
