Letter: Keep Gearhart, Gearhart!

Published 12:15 am Tuesday, October 22, 2024

Vote for Kerry Smith for mayor, as well as Sharon Kloepfer and Paulina Cockrum for Gearhart City Council!

I have been going to City Council and Planning Commission meetings for about 20 years. I feel it is important to know firsthand what is happening with my city. Our City Council and Planning Commission members do not get paid. They are volunteers, either by vote or appointment.

I feel these three volunteers have done a great job for Gearhart because they are honest, trustworthy and have Gearhart’s well-being and future first and foremost in their minds and work ethics. A couple of examples are:

Our town has limited vacation rentals because of the ordinances that have been made, by our City Council members.

They have helped with the businesses, but also keeping our downtown commercial zone small.

We don’t want a Seaside.

The city is working very diligently, through many roadblocks, to make our new fire station a reality.

Please reach out to our leaders to ask questions, and don’t listen to rumors. Get the information firsthand. It’s all public information.

Help keep Gearhart, Gearhart!
