Our own Renton-built and Renton designed 737’s remain current for the market, according to this story in Aviation Week. According to the story, there is no clear improvement in technology that would make a new airplane significantly better than the Renton-built most popular jetliner ever, so Boeing is pushing back development of a replacement for more years. With a backlog of orders near 2000, Renton can look forward to tens of billions of dollars of additional products flying out of our city for years to come.

Here is an update that I just recieved via email. This bond issue will keep our school modernization on track. (The Randy mentioned in Ed’s email is Randy Matheson, with the School District). Congratulations to the Renton School District for earning this confidence from a super-majority of Renton voters.

I just finished talking to Randy and today’s results have been posted. As of 3:09 today the Renton Bond is PASSING by 72 votes! Thank you to everyone who has spent one minute on this effort. Your hard work made this victory possible. So many people were so instrumental in making this campaign a success that it would take five seperate e-mails for me to name every person by name but I do want to give extra special thanks to:
Mary Alice: Every time I saw you you were ready to charge ahead. Your boundless energy constantly put gas in my tank.
Marcie Maxwell: Words cant express how much I appreciate you. Your advice and the countless e-mails from past campaigns helped get me up to speed on what was done before.
Pam Teal: Where do I start? We had so many phone calls and meetings. You worked your tail off. Thank you for working with the PTA’s and for being my partner in crime. Who am I going to bug now that we’re done? 🙂
Bill Taylor: Thank you for all of the support from the Chamber. Everything from allowing us to hold our meetings in the office, the e-mail blasts reminding people to vote, to giving us time at the Ahead of the Class ceremony.
Carrie and Lynn: Your work in the community getting the word out and drumming up support was vital.
Randy Matheson: Thank you for asking me to chair this effort. Your knowledge of school campaigns along with your wit kept me grounded and kept me laughing.
As I said earlier; all of you and your friends, children and their friends helped us make this happen. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
