Episode 216 - Cynthia Bellas Write-In candidate for the Central Ward City Council.  We asked the Write-In candidate if she wished she had started running earlier. What does affordable housing mean to her? Is she literally "no growth" and what would it mean to be a swing vote on the Council. She differentiated herself from her opposition saying current Councilmember LeslieschneiderbainbridgeIslandcitycouncil wasn't elected but appointed and that her other opponent Grayson Wildsmith for City Council was just far too young and inexperienced. We sliced and diced her platform in a very, very lively Wake Up Bainbridge interview with the returning Road Warrior Sal DeRosalia and new member of the family, Rue. We also broke some news that Derek Villanueva has officially filed as a write-incandidate for the Parks Commissioner position held by controversial Tom Swolgaard currently being opposed by former journalist Rachel Pritchett.

Thanks! Horror Shows: Bainbridge Performing Arts with tonight's pay-as-you-can performance of Rocky Horror Show which will run through Oct. 27th. The other horror shows are the PRA suits against the city and the revelation of a failed attempt to get an anti-harassment order requested by Councilmember Rasham Nassar against David Dunn and Brian Wilkinson --who also happen to be the plaintiffs in one of the potentially very costly PRA violation lawsuits. The anti-harassment order was was denied by a judge in the Kitsap County Superior Court back in January.

Episode 202 - Breaking News: 550 Madison residents still on Month-to-Month leases, but this time it's from their "savior" Housing Resources Bainbridge. We reached out for comment and got this reply from Executive Director, Phedra Elliot, "In order to protect the privacy of our residents, we aren’t able to discuss leases or lease terms with anyone other than the resident themselves." Yeah... So we replied and are waiting to hear back. We CCed Matthew Tirman, Bainbridge Island City Council in hopes a fresh set of eyes may help in the decision making process. In other news, the Small Boutique Hotel on the other end of Winslow (where That's A Some Pizza used to be) went in front of the Design N Review Board. This small hotel ended up being 40 Rooms and 15 parking spots. So yeah, we are guessing we will hear a bit more about this. Richard Davis was in attendance and asked for the architect's drawing but he was denied at the rim. We are reaching out to City of Bainbridge Island, Washington to see if they have a c

There were 9 residents in attendance. Discussed were Suzuki, Traffic, Affordable Housing, and 60 seconds on Diversity and Equity. We discuss write-in candidate, Cynthia Bellas and the "interesting" way she decided to enter into the Central Ward race. We hope to find out all the reasonable questions... Who is she? Why now? What makes her different? Does she really think she has a chance as a write-in candidate? And... In addition, we cover: Rocky Horror Show will be starting their new run of shows this weekend at Bainbridge Performing Arts, a chance encounter with Gary Bedell and the iconic Dream Tower at Battlepoint Park and finally some Political Talk on the upcoming elections and why Bainbridge Island is never likely to become Mercer Island.
