Greene's Announcement Postponed Until December

Update:  the expected announcement for council by Mark Greene, previously set to be announced on Nov. 12th, has been delayed again (see revised post, below).  Greene decided that probable local media coverage in January, a few weeks after the official announcement, would better be focused on the campaign then than in November and December.

Mark Greene has decided to postpone an expected decision to run for the Newcastle City Council, Pos. 6, until later on this year. 

The Public Disclosure Commission has reviewed Greene's disclosure papers recently and they're presently presumed to be in proper order.  Greene has decided to delay an official announcement until the 10th of December.

Newcastle Library to Open on December 8th

King County has announced that Newcastle's new county-operated library will open on December 8th, 2012 A.D., 9:30 A.M.  The public is invited to attend the Grand Opening.

In other news, Mark Greene has been considering whether or not to throw his hat in the ring for the Newcastle City Council in 2013, but there's no decision, yet.  A decision will be made by November 6th and will be posted on Northern Pacific Report on either the 5th or the 6th of November.  If Mark runs, he would definitely be the most fervent anti-annexation candidate of the entire field of council candidates and most likely would choose to run for Position No. 6. 

Unlike other candidates in past years who changed the Position number they ran for, presumably
because of political calculations, if Greene decides to run for council, he would not change the Position number for any reason whatsoever, regardless of whether there is an "open seat" or not.

Post-script:  The term "open-seat" in American political lexicon means that an incumbent is not one of the candidates for office, but of course the term is a misnomer since any office that is up for election is, in fact, open.
