Changes are afoot for the “Tracking the Speedway” blog, but like the worst of radio shows I’ll do nothing more than hint from now until launch. Never you mind just yet. I’ll tell you June 1.
In the meantime, it seems like you folks would be interested that candidates for local office can begin filing June 4. Chris Henry will have a story about it Sunday.
Although this is an off election year — no presidential, legislative or judicial races, at least in Kitsap County — several local races are already drawing attention. Among the most high profile contests, City of Port Orchard residents will decide who will replace outgoing Mayor Kim Abel, who has decided not to seek a second term, and long-time Port of Bremerton Commissioner Mary Ann Huntington will defend her seat following a large port levy hike in 2007.
