RE: Telephone Directories
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
I have been made aware that the City of Seattle is considering restrictions on the distribution of
telephone directories. Our local paper mill, Nippon Paper Industries USA (NPI USA) is not only
a major employer in Port Angeles, but also in western Washington.
I ask that you also consider the negative economic impact that restricting telephone directories
would have on the regional economy that we share. From the production of this high quality
recycled product that still is an important advertising tool, for businesses, as well as an important
resource for consumers to find and use local businesses in both of our communities.
Sincerely,
Kent Myers
City Manager
