Tuesday, June 27, U.S. Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10) visited University Place to deliver a $190,000 check to the Food Lifeline Food Bank thanks to contributions from Fred Meyer, QFC and the Kroger Zero Hunger/Zero Waste Foundation.
She then visited two local projects that are being funded through the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act. Strickland was joined by Mayor Steve Worthington and Mayor Pro Tem Javier Figueroa as they reviewed progress on the design of the Chambers Bay Roundabout that will improve safety on this important corridor that links U.P. to Steilacoom, JBLM and Dupont. They also checked on pedestrian and bike safety improvements being made to Chambers Creek Road, including construction of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, a signalized pedestrian crossing and improved bicycle lanes.
Dem Congresswoman takes credit for private industry helping out. Interesting spin on that presser.
Does Ms Strickland live in our voting district?
Was she supposed to ignore UP? Were you there? Did she not acknowledge those responsible? At the very minimum she cares to check on her constituents
