We Win. You Lose.

January 2, 2018 by tomfodi

During his closing remarks near the end of the final 2017 council meeting, Bellevue Councilman Tom Hrynda offered a glowing review of all that he and “his team” accomplished throughout the year. Speaking largely of Bellevue’s 150th Celebration, Hrynda had much reason to take credit for what his team was able to accomplish. They did … [Read more…]

Tom Fodi: A New Mayor for a New Bellevue

March 20, 2017 by tomfodi

Election Eve Reflections

November 7, 2016 by tomfodi Leave a Comment

Throughout the past few weeks, my church, The Hills Church, and I worked through a series of messages called “What would Jesus say?” regarding the upcoming election. During the first week, we reflected on what Jesus might say to Hillary Clinton. The second week, Donald Trump. Yesterday, we wrapped up the series, with perhaps the … [Read more…]

Bellevue’s Savings Account (or slush fund)

September 16, 2016 by tomfodi 1 Comment

This is what Bellevue’s savings account looked like throughout 2015. Okay, it’s not really called “Bellevue’s Savings Account.” This is actually Bellevue’s Capital Improvements Fund. The capital improvements fund is where money is supposed to be parked for long-term, high-cost municipal projects or emergency needs. If we’d like to plan a major project two, three, … [Read more…]

Are You Ready to Party Bellevue?! It’ll cost you.

August 25, 2016 by tomfodi 2 Comments

During the August 2016 Regular Meeting of Bellevue Council this past Tuesday, council debated at length the reservation of $10,000 of taxpayer money for seed money towards a community-wide party celebrating Bellevue’s 150th Anniversary. With the exception of using some of the money to have t-shirts printed, questions regarding the source of the funds, the … [Read more…]

Jesus was a Libertarian.

August 4, 2016 by tomfodi Leave a Comment

Okay. That’s not actually true. It was just a dramatic way to get your attention. You’re here, so I suppose it worked. That being said, I strongly believe there is a case to be made that libertarianism is not only compatible with Christianity, it is preferable to the authoritarian alternative offered by the two major political parties … [Read more…]

Double Dipping on Bellevue Tax Payers

June 15, 2016 by tomfodi 14 Comments

I was elected to represent and protect the interests of Bellevue residents by serving on Bellevue Council. The single most important function of Bellevue Council is to ensure the proper, effective, fair, and just use of the millions of tax dollars we collect from our residents every single year. That’s why I’m writing today. I’m … [Read more…]

A Memorial Day Reflection

May 27, 2016 by tomfodi Leave a Comment

Once a week, usually on Fridays, I send out an e-blast primarily for people who belong to my church or have some interest in what The Hills Church is up to on a regular basis.

Bellevue Wage Ordinance, An Ongoing Conundrum

February 24, 2016 by tomfodi Leave a Comment

Something fascinating happened during the February Bellevue Council Meeting this past Tuesday and I’m eager to tell you about it. In one glorious moment, council unanimously agreed on a controversial new ordinance. Well, at least on paper it appears like we unanimously agreed on a controversial ordinance. The non-union wage ordinance which has been a … [Read more…]
