Congratulations Mr. Agnew. Now that your elected to the City Council it is time to show a little class and distance yourself from InformBothell.com which is attached to your web page. The content of that page includes emails to and from the City Manager that were acquired through Public Records Request. It’s one thing to request documents to discover information – it’s something entirely different to post those emails on the Internet. I think most people would agree that stoops to an all time low. Right, right, I know, email of public officials are open to the public and there is nothing technically wrong with posting them on the Internet for political purposes, but honestly, Moritz’s ultimate “gotcha” is so 17. Beyond that, good luck. You have some pretty big shoes to fill.

Pretty sage advice. I share your sense that Agnew may actually be a nice guy who was recruited by people driven by personal animosity. He could go either way. If he is to be successful you are right there is no better place to start than to distance himself from the toxic and deeply weird politics that Moritz represents.
Sadly this race may have been decided by a last minute smear letter by Ernie Bellecy that went out to the entire city. Sandy Guinn supported Bellecy for the Planning Commission twice and he repaid her by sending out a letter calling her a liar to thousands signed as "Planning Commissioner Ernie Bellecy". The letter is replete with inaccuracies but it was sent out so late Sandy had no time to respond. She deserved a lot better especially since she stuck up for him countless times when others wanted to boot him from the Planning Commission. My sense is those who targeted, smeared and defeated Sandy may learn the curse of be careful what you wish for.
