La Conner Weekly News - Your independent hometown award-winning newspaper

I think we can all agree that parking in La Conner, especially during special events, is a challenge, but I would like to disagree with the statement made in the “Parking Problems” Letter to the editor (April 4). At the town meeting there was discussion about a shuttle led by Mayor Ramon Hayes. M. Johnson’s letter states “It is the height of arrogance for the Chamber of Commerce to then turn around and ask the city to fund a shuttle to haul tourists.” This is completely false – The Chamber did not ask the city to fund a shuttle! I think having a seasonal shuttle would be a great business opportunity for someone with an enterprising mind.

If you want to know the truth of what the Chamber is doing, come to a Chamber Board meeting. Our meetings are open to the public and we welcome discussion. Communication, creativity and team work is leading La Conner in the right direction.
