Bremerton’s Lent named state Citizen of the Year by Elks

August 1st, 2012 by Steven Gardner

Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent listens as Bremerton Elks Exalted Ruler Syd Nuñez presents her as the club’s state citizen of the year.

Elks Club members conspired with city employees to surprise the mayor at Wednesday’s Bremerton City Council meeting. They did it so she would have no knowledge she was going to receive the state “Citizen of the Year” award.

Lent received the same award locally in May and was pitted against 38 other nominees from throughout the state.

Steve Jankowski, past exalted ruler of the Bremerton lodge, said finding a local nominee is in some part looking for someone who works with the underprivileged, veterans, children and the handicapped.

Jankowski said the organization found multiple individuals and businesses that merited the award, but the one name that kept coming up as “a bright star on the horizon” was Lent’s.

    As the exalted ruler of the Recall Mayor Lent Society I would like to award her on this full moon with the Golden Back Scratcher for deliberately ignoring safety and ethical issues in order to profit and benefit the foreign company that issues the red light camera tickets.
    way to go Bremerton.
