Jeff, you are not only speaking from personal interactions with Hodgson, you have presented more information on his career and volunteer services. I didn't realize he wore so many other hats. James R. Taylor lost to Navarra Carr by only 3-4% of the final vote count. To me, this is huge. I, frankly, think that it's a positive outcome. If Hodgson had not run unopposed, there may have been a different outcome based on Hodgson's reputation for multiple absences on his volunteer Boards. More and more sunshine is peering thru those cracks, and sooner than later, CC will have nothing but brighter days. JAKE SEEGERS 2026.
They groomed another local boy to give Xerxes his Ennis Creek Village ....The area under water in the NOAA map and ready to get pounded by a tsunami....trying to get good Chum genetics on a 7-9 percent grade...continue healing the bad relationship,,being the one holding the bag for the US Department of Economic Development.. whatever blue state fraud that unravels locally.
John I really appreciate the deep thinking that goes into your comments. Somehow you end up connecting all the issues together so lesser people than yourself can comprehend the message.
Now about Xerxes, well that is too deep a dive for me at this hour and feels random from my perspective.
Ron Allen developed a good thing. The JKT was killing it. Then, like Xerxes, he went too far. Xerxes had to attempt to wipe out Sparta rather than co-exist with Sparta and accept his current empire.. It cost him everything. He was assassinated and the empire fell further apart.
Xerxes on his way to Zeus is where he is at. Now I understand where Randy Johnson of JKT gets his influence to call me a crackpot. That's the JKT mindset right now.
Opposition is to be insulted and not contended with with any rationality. Xerxes actually believes that reparations for colonization stuff. He has facilitated the violations of the Point No Point Treaty, while taking money from Congress and BIA to uphold the treaty.
In other words Xerxes has not told BIA or Congress he needs to renegotiate the treaty per the Constitution. Xerxes has bypassed Congress and has intercepted environmental grants to acquire reparations, over in Obama's International NGO bypass sold locally by Howard Doherty.
Ron has earned the title of Xerxes because like Xerxes who listened to his brother in law , Ron listened to Howard Doherty.
I think they are going for the whole PA waterfront. Carr and Suggs have both made comments against the industrial/port zoning on the waterfront. Suggs wants to close First st downtowm for a "pedestrain mall"
Blaming property owners for not making investments while Ron Allen, Latrisha Suggs and Navara Carr cast Ron's shadow over downtown PA with unrealistic salmon restoration pursuits, is beyond unfair.
We need somebody in there that will stand up to Ron Allen and his minions.
Shame on Sam Grello for criticizing downtown property owners while Xerxes flexes his flubber and magic bean muscles in front of a hotel and casts a salm0n restoration shadow. Sam Grello Resign now.
Keep it from being a working waterfront increasing reliance on ships and trucks. They have signed international contracts to take part in the globalization of Clallam County and its cities.
Undermining American interests with flubber and magic bean global and tribal bullshit.
Unfortunately, the Port Authority is the only entity really undertaking any business development in PA. The city council and development council seem utterly uninterested in anything besides more government agencies and NGOs. The city’s new business tax and apparent footdragging on helping new businesses get started is proof.
First impressions matter. It’s an uphill battle to change what has been cemented in the brains of those that noticed the blatant absence . Unfortunately these missteps are often writing on the wall. Get your stuff (Mark)together you know, like an adult or kindly resign. Attendance should not be a lead story. We had enough with the CRC.
Then 2024 he was on PA Parks commission as chair but also missed a lot of meetings. It doesn't appear he was on PA PARKS since end of 2024 yet he left it on LinkedIn as if he still was a member, same with the Olympia thing. It looks like his presence on Olympia equity was 2024 same year he supposedly chaired PA parks- where did he actually live in 2024 and how could he transparently serve both cities at same time?
Previously, it was very difficult to remove PA board, committee, or commission members. There was no attendance policy. However, our 2024 revisions that I sponsored changed that.
City Code 2.25.060A: A member of a permanent committee is automatically removed after failing to attend three consecutive regular meetings of the committee. There are no excused absences, however the removed member is not prohibited from re-applying for the position and is for this purpose only, exempt from the four-year break in section 2.25.030.E.
This is an automatic process and doesn't require City Council or staff involvement. There was discussion on if it should be 2 or 3 missed meetings. The final decision was 3, but with the provision that there are no excused absences. The other option was 2 missed consecutive unexcused absences.
This code only applies to City controlled board, committees, and commissions.
The lad is stretched too thin. Unlike Ozias, Hodgson has to be available when on shift making multi tasking a limited probability. So when does he find time to deal effectively with these other entities, given he still has other daily personal affairs to tend to?
If a private sector employee has a record like his, they get canned eventually. Try doing one thing well for now please...
Jeff, the breakfast went so well and we had a great time I brought a bag of Jake Seeger brittle to give to the seniors fundraiser and it was sold before I could set it on the table! Jake's a hit too!
Definitely a Hobson’s Choice: We’re stuck with supporting Kate Dexter (bad) instead of Navarra Carr (worse).
It’s like this lifetime Philadelphia Eagles fan being forced to cheer for the Seahawks. The Seahawks will face off against the 49ers, which beat my Eagles on Sunday (although the Eagles really defeated themselves).
Perhaps it is out of an abundance of caution, with a dash of well-earned paranoia, that I must remind folks that this Hodgson character STILL needs to be officially sworn into office for him to actually legitimately conduct ANY official duties whatsoever~! That very obvious & historic potential "trick" of the criminal element within our web of dubious characters, who only exist to serve the public, should not be overlooked. Additionally, I am even more alarmed than usual to learn that Hodgson is STILL a Washington State Trooper~! Not to mention the glaring question - if he ever should have been a WASP officer??? Social Justice and Equity Commissioner of The City of Olympia~??? May it rain great wart infested Horney toads~! This "Social Justice and Equity" hogwash is COMPLETELY foreign to, if not an all-out treasonous assault upon, The American Constitution, so it is extremely concerning that Hodgson has SO many glaringly obvious extreme "conflicts of interests" and as such he poses a potentially direct danger to our community and state~! Do "we" really need another hysterically emotional "political activist" in our government who knows nothing of The American Constitution? God help the poor American who would be subject to a traffic stop or other state police activity involving such a "deeply confused and conflicted" peace officer~! How many more times will Hodgson be A.W.O.L. from his "many duties", one way or another, exactly WHO has installed him into ALL of these positions of power, and most importantly what is the true goal and agenda that he is involved in??? VERY disturbing~!
I have never met Mark Hodgson. His 20-year career as a Washington State Trooper suggests he has integrity, sound judgment and respect for the rule of law. I will respect his choice for Mayor, even if I would not have made the same choice.
As a WSP Trooper he didn't use his personal value system to make lawful decisions, well, he's not supposed to, he simply enforces the RCW making his actions prescribed.
As a citizen with his fingers in many pies, apparently haphazardly based on attendance, and I've heard him talk at CRC meetings. He's now making decisions based on ideology where there are no laws to guide him.
His vote will be another circumstantial piece of the evidence he's building to be judged by.
I read the entire (it’s really long, but someone read it or it wouldn’t have made it to press) Shoreline management material that includes (but not limited to) the establishment of an ocean viable species. It spells out all the things that must be addressed. Many I had not considered like the transport of a harvest from grow area to shore. The impact of the shore facility. The damage to seabed established animals, the need for utilities at area being utilized, (electric, water etc) including restroom facilities for workers. And so much more. So how can the JST put in an oyster growing entity without violating about half the laws that are established and federally regulated? Do they own the Dungeness Spit? The Feds have rules that must be followed even by a tribe. Wouldn’t you hate to look out at that area and see an industrial complex?
I think this is a Step To Far, even for the tribe, which no laws apply and if questioned Ozias will deal with you. Give me a call Mr Ozias, I’d love to talk about your relationship with the tribe that far out weighs your commitment to Clallam County Residents. But if you are hung up in DC, just stay there. I feel safer somehow when you aren’t around to fulfill orders from your largest donors. Bought and paid for, bully for you.
Transparency is a standard I apply to government and those exercising public authority—not a requirement that private citizens expose themselves to retaliation in order to participate in civic debate, which is a very real risk in Clallam County.
The letter is real, it is part of the public record, and anyone can verify it. I honored a private citizen’s request for discretion because protecting civic participation matters just as much as exposing government conduct.

Also like Xerxes, Ron wished the people he is in the midst of slaughtering consider him to be merciful...
Apt analogy, John. A Greek tragedy from millenia ago playing before our eyes in the 21st century.
Thank you John. I needed that summed up!

Hello,
Please resign from your position.
Blaming property owners for not making investments while Ron Allen, Latrisha Suggs and Navara Carr cast Ron's shadow over downtown PA with unrealistic salmon restoration pursuits, is beyond unfair.
We need somebody in there that will stand up to Ron Allen and his minions.
John Worthington
They have intentionally misapplied salmon science developed and implemented at Jimmycomelately to achieve reparations for Colonization.
Just mentioning the 3 percent grade and baffling causes them to act like your holding their head under water.
The insults fly trying to get them to be real with salmon restoration. Right now its total fraud.
Under the guise of salmon restoration.
Shame on Sam Grello for criticizing downtown property owners while Xerxes flexes his flubber and magic bean muscles in front of a hotel and casts a salm0n restoration shadow. Sam Grello Resign now.
In other words, they want to kill the PA downtown and make it a wonderland for the homeless.
Keep it from being a working waterfront increasing reliance on ships and trucks. They have signed international contracts to take part in the globalization of Clallam County and its cities.
Undermining American interests with flubber and magic bean global and tribal bullshit.
Unfortunately, the Port Authority is the only entity really undertaking any business development in PA. The city council and development council seem utterly uninterested in anything besides more government agencies and NGOs. The city’s new business tax and apparent footdragging on helping new businesses get started is proof.
Carr will break the City of Port Angeles and put a grant fraud cloud over the city. The same one over Clallam County right now.
The same kind of people who will answer the call for more daycare centers in PA. They have friends in Minneapolis who already operate daycare centers.
First impressions matter. It’s an uphill battle to change what has been cemented in the brains of those that noticed the blatant absence . Unfortunately these missteps are often writing on the wall. Get your stuff (Mark)together you know, like an adult or kindly resign. Attendance should not be a lead story. We had enough with the CRC.
Does Hodgson just hop cities when it suits his resume building? In this 2024 article he speaks as chair of that committee in Olympia and refers to "Our city" multiple times. https://www.theolympian.com/news/local/article289984904.html
Then 2024 he was on PA Parks commission as chair but also missed a lot of meetings. It doesn't appear he was on PA PARKS since end of 2024 yet he left it on LinkedIn as if he still was a member, same with the Olympia thing. It looks like his presence on Olympia equity was 2024 same year he supposedly chaired PA parks- where did he actually live in 2024 and how could he transparently serve both cities at same time?
Excellent questions here to include where he truly resides for voting purposes.
From my knothole, Hodgson is looking to bolster his resume for something bigger.
Mark Ozias as a mentor...yes, yes, and yessir!
Boards on which I’ve served had an attendance policy. Miss two in a row and you’re out. Sounds like PA needs the same.
Previously, it was very difficult to remove PA board, committee, or commission members. There was no attendance policy. However, our 2024 revisions that I sponsored changed that.
City Code 2.25.060A: A member of a permanent committee is automatically removed after failing to attend three consecutive regular meetings of the committee.

Multitasking is doing several things poorly simultaneously!
Good one!!
Good morning Jeff,
Career politicians are from another planet!
If a private sector employee has a record like his, they get canned eventually. Try doing one thing well for now please...
Jeff, the breakfast went so well and we had a great time I brought a bag of Jake Seeger brittle to give to the seniors fundraiser and it was sold before I could set it on the table! Jake's a hit too!
Have a great day Doggers!
It was great to see you, Glen. Thanks for supporting the Class of '26 and for being a fundraising powerhouse!
My honor and pleasure!

But I already those shitty Italian meatballs and Costco. I have no interest in buying them again.
I think his absence tells the story. Look at his title in Olympia...SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EQUITY COMISSIONER.
Pretty much says it all. A paid job? He is NOT a serious person.
I have never met Mark Hodgson. His 20-year career as a Washington State Trooper suggests he has integrity, sound judgment and respect for the rule of law. I will respect his choice for Mayor, even if I would not have made the same choice.

CCW supports transparency and full disclosure. Why not disclose who wrote the letter to City Council (reproduced in full) supporting Kate Dexter?
Transparency is a standard I apply to government and those exercising public authority—not a requirement that private citizens expose themselves to retaliation in order to participate in civic debate, which is a very real risk in Clallam County.
