Concern for Jim Walton

During the debate on the proposed charter amendment to raise the number of County Council members to nine at the May 25 Pierce County Charter Review Commission meeting, Jim Walton worried about his mental state. He thought he was sounding like a .....Republican!

Jim was opposing the additional government spending associated with enlarging the County Council. Jim was making a good point, even if it wasn't one he is accustomed to making.

Jim, don't worry. Saving taxpayer money is an honorable vocation.
