Greene Files Candidacy




MARK GREENE
     Mark Greene,
 the strongest anti-annexation candidate for the Newcastle City Council this year, filed for election today for Position No. 6.  With Greene on the Council next year, strongly opposing the annexation of the city, the merge-with-Bellevue wing in Newcastle would be unlikely to muster up the 4 votes necessary to start talks with Bellevue.  Greene, John Dulcich, Carol Simpson, Deputy Mayor Lisa Jensen and Mayor Rich Crispo would be the most likely group in the near future to block any annexation moves (Steve Buri also doesn't favor merger, although Buri's comments on this issue have been flexible).  Greene's lone opponent, so far, as far as we know, hasn't commented publicly on annexation besides some vague references relating to this issue. 

    Endorsers of my candidacy should write to me at Mark@partyofcommons.com; luminaries may be published on one of the side panels.
