Dark Days In Pacific Get Darker

The longer Cy Sun is in office, the darker the outlook for this city we love. Insurance carriers refuse to insure the city while he is at the helm. Key administrative positions remain vacant almost a full year after he took office, despite a court order that he hire qualified people immediately. The council must seriously consider dis-incorporation as the best alternative because Sun refuses to step down. And now annexation to Auburn on January 1st has emerged as a strong possibility.

Apathy is our biggest enemy. It is past time to take a stand and fight for this city. We must rise up in-mass if we want to remain a city. Despite the busy holiday season, we have to make time to educate our neighbors, donate to the recall and attend the council meetings. If we don't, it's looking like we won't have a Pacific address for our Christmas cards next year.

There are two important ways you can help in the next few days:

• This Sunday, Dec. 1st at Noon: Meet in front of the senior center to canvas the city. Let's make sure EVERY household knows what is happening and why. The best antidote to apathy is knowledge and our neighbors need to understand the destruction Mayor Sun has caused - and what we can do about it.
• This Monday, Dec. 3rd at 6:30pm: The council will hold their regular workshop, then hold a special meeting to discuss annexing to Auburn. If there is a large crowd (and we hope there will be), the meeting will be moved to the gym.

If you want to be heard, be sure and attend the meeting Monday. And tell your friends and neighbors - this may be our last chance....
