Community Service: President of Fluoride Class Action, www.fluoride-class-action.com. Transit scholar, www.comprehensive-transportation.blogspot.com. Opponent of microwave blasting, smart meters, which collect data on us. Data is sold. They can be hacked. They catch fire. Coming soon from PUD.

Statement: See www.JamesRobertDeal.org. Lynnwood’s water comes from Everett, which adds so-called fluoride, a waste by-product of the fertilizer industry. It contains lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium. It leaches lead from pipes. It is filth. Fluoride accumulates in bones, slowly poisons us, kills salmon, and violates our right not to be medicated without consent. Lynnwood never voted for this. Everett has four pipelines running from Spada Lake and could provide us with uncontaminated water, which Lynnwood can and should demand.

We talk about salmon recovery, but we apply carcinogenic Roundup, which flows into streams and kills salmon. We sprays salmon killing chemicals on our money losing golf course. There are profitable organic golf courses.

Most local buses are mostly empty most of the time. Vans delivering door to door service, summoned by smartphone app, could replace under-used buses running fixed routes. Vans would fill commuter buses, increasing revenues. We could get around without cars. If elected I will seek appointment to transit boards.

Mount Vernon has set up a fiber optic internet utility, which is attracting high tech businesses. Lynnwood should do the same. Lynnwood needs an informed and studious environmental attorney on the Council.
