A quick but vital reminder for everyone advocating for change in Clallam County:
Keep using the public comment periods at public meetings to make your voice heard. Public comment is a powerful exercise of your free speech, and it forces the Commissioners to pay attention to our community's priorities.
But don't stop there. To turn your public words into administrative action, file a formal complaint through the County's official portal:
Think of public comment as a kite flying in the sky—it is highly visible and grabs the Commissioners' attention. But a formal complaint is the string. The string is what anchors that attention to the ground, forcing the County Administrator, department heads, and HR directors to act on day-to-day administrative policies.
If you make a public comment but fail to file a formal complaint, you are letting go of the kite's string. The moment will pass, the attention will drift away, and there will be no administrative paper trail to force real follow-up. Let's fly the kite and hold onto the string!

"People in crisis"
Crisis definition: crucial or decisive point or situation, especially a difficult or unstable situation involving an impending change.
If these are people in crisis, when does the impending change occur? May I suggest election day?
