Friends of Frink Park was on hand to help Jim Diers
add his letter of resignation to the celebrity compost (notice the
steam) at the Interbay
P-Patch. Many of us are still in a state of shock
wondering what Mayor-elect Greg Nickels was thinking when he asked Jim to
step down. We are pleased to see Jim
will be a continual source of inspiration for all of us who support community
activism and revitalizing neighborhoods – but no longer from City Hall.
Please
write a letter to Mayor Greg Nickels and Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis to
protest their dismissal of Jim Diers. Jim Diers was recently recognized as the Public Employee
of the Year by the Municipal League and has headed the Dept.
of Neighborhoods through three mayors prior to Nickels’ election. Regards,
Jon
