Improvements to property were approved by city hall

We are writing in regard to the article in last week’s Star, “Council: Property Owner Must Remove Signs.”

As the previous owners of the property located on the corner of Main Street in Grand Coulee, we felt we needed to set the record straight. 

The City’s Mayor referring to us in The Star last week and implying that we tried to pull anything over on the new owner of this property is not only misinformed, but slander.

Every improvement our family ever made to that community over the years were always permitted and approved by your City Hall. Period. To imply otherwise is insulting and wrong.

We will put our documentation, work ethic and reputation for honesty up against you and your City Hall’s any day.

It’s our hope that City Hall will review its recent decision and realize the new owner has the same standing to do what was approved by yourself and your City Hall over 8 years ago. 

The family that did more to improve your view than anyone, ever,
