Seriously couldn't be more impressed with the effort for this petition. Well done, Jake. Well done Jeff. Proud of the people that give a spit around here! Hoping for the best today.... you all did you're best. Makes me think we can get some canvassing going before election time....
FWIW - keep the songs. I laugh out loud at these lyrics. Sooooo good, Jeff.
Im so proud of all of you. I just watched the public comment on zoom. Ozias looked like a deer in the headlights. What a great job and special thanks to Jeff and Jake for all their effprts
Jake and Dr. Sara are treasured associates and we are lucky to have them associate here with us on this blog and downtown in front of government officials. Nothing has greater impact on bad government than younger generations stepping up to voice their opinion.
Most of those in power right now claim to be doing things for the younger generation, so when the younger generation shows up its a damning testament that their policies are not working.
Not only have they set up an untenable hamster wheel for retirees, they have set up an untenable hamster wheel for younger generations.
Here we all are. It seems all they can do is another form of stifling dissent.
@johnworthington I won’t be able to attend today’s BOCC meeting because I am in Missouri at a conference fighting for rural health care. But I am sending my support in spirit! I just want to acknowledge you John and others with a little more road under their tires compared to @jefftozzer, @jacobseegers, and me, if we didn’t have shoulders of giants to stand on our efforts would be in vain. Thank you for showing up and keeping speaking truth.
John's public comments rocked today! The Comms smuggly dismiss him, but he brought Thor's Hammer to the forum. Way to shock and awe all who attended today, John! Whoo hoo!
Pardon the reminiscing. I was around when the AFC started. Aerial blitzes and 2 point conversions. Charlie Tolar stood 5 foot 6 and packed a wallop. Called the human bowling ball by other ball players. On the Houston Oiler roster. And I remembers Spud for the Atlanta Hawks.
John - your comments at the Sequim City Council Meeting last night! Great material excellent delivery voice and the emphasis. I think the Council has 2 weeks before they are sued by the Wayne Family and the Westbay Developers! Maybe Cle Elum should be our new sister city?
It, the development, never was in the "UGA." It should have been a strait up no way before any money was spent. An Urban Growth Area is typically where Godzilla picks up a bus and throws it back down..."as he wades towards the center of town.."John Wayne Marina is not anywhere close to a center of town..No farther than 3 crabs from Carlsborg..Where those people are being "rechanneled to the UGA."
I'm really slow on the uptake so let me give this back to you. The Wayne family property is outside the UGA and therefore doesn't fall under the dictates of city land usage. Likewise 3 crabs residents. Be nice to have a program and see who all the players are in this game regarding Westbay Development.
Whatever today's outcome, a huge thank you to Jake, Jeff, and Dr. Sarah! THANK YOU!! We, the citizens of Clallam County, are in action, not just grumbling, about the issues. This is only the beginning. Jeff, I really am looking forward to your radio debut on Friday at 4:00. Excited! See everyone soon.
Teresa, Hi, my name is Jennifer. I’m a gossip addict. The facts are good but there’s nothing like the human emotions behind them. I can’t help myself. Please tell me about the meeting today (and you do it so well) When the tribe opens a Gossip and Addiction Recovery Program GARP, I will join : )
Gossip and Addiction Recovery in Rural Communities
Features of rural life, such as low population density and greater distances from urban areas, could worsen the prospects of addiction recovery for rural residents.
I'm waiting to exhale after today's meeting and to find out if they will block Seeger's petitions. History tells us they will.....
"Despite unanimous commissioner support for the CCD fee weeks ago—ignoring budget errors, unclear data, and condescending remarks from CCD supervisors—will Seegers’ numbers force a rethink?"
Jake submitted to the BoCC 1,032 signatures from the petitions. It was great! The Comms are on notice. And so is the Administrator. We are mad and we are not backing down. Even though the Resolution passed 2 to 1, they know more new taxes are on the ballot, and those may not pass. And this fight is not over.
A smorgasbord of issues. The carbon credit system reminds me of a Star Trek episode where an alien society is encountered that has upgraded the brutality of warfare to electronic wars on computers. When combatant one effects a computer strike that in real war would have killed 100 combatant two must walk the 100 into an extermination chamber. We determine carbon emissions deleterious to human life, so we make those emissions a commodity for sale; similar logic. How many tarps would a homeless person need to purchase a carbon credit and how much will it improve their life ? It is not kindness killing the drug addicted; it is the drug addicted. There are infinite paths to suicide beyond a gun to the head. The kindness just makes their chosen journey longer and more painful. Those who choose rehabilitation will rehabilitate.
Garry, Do you remember Soylent Green, a cult 1973 sci-fi thriller? Same, same. Scary!
It's a nightmarish futuristic fantasy about the controlling power of big corporations, limited food security due to overpopulation, using assisted suicide to feed the people.
I remember! One of my favorites. In the end it was all about control and acquiring even more control. Scary is right. Another one is the Omega Man. Finding a cure for one disease that creates a more devastating disease is relevant today. Oh no, Jennifer, I'm going there....COVID vax.
Let's convert the MAT clinic to a Soylent Green facility, choose your 'trip', and produce water instead of food pellet. I was impressed with the 'furniture'.
Eric, basically the MAT clinic IS a Soylent Green facility...by "assisted suicide". Maybe the (eventual - God forbid) water steward position will cover that if it's to their advantage.
I like your statement, "so we make those emissions a commodity for sale." That sums it all up! For every crises that never goes to waste, we (the dirty rotten scoundrels) can profit immensely because the public is too docile to give a rat's ass. I'm also a Trekkie, Garry. Great series and movies. They always make you think.
International bodies, government agencies, or independent non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can be responsible for issuing carbon credits and setting the standards for their creation.
But can those carbon credits be independently verified? Do the banked emission reduction projects ensure that credits are credible and adhere to standards, building trust in the market? If so, I dare you to point out the entity doing the calculating, the calculation assumptions and methods for creating those carbon credits.
Emission credits created for the purpose of offsetting or mitigating the emissions of another project (like Meta AI computing centers) must by definition be REAL, QUANTIFIABLE and PERMANENT.
If you would play the carbon credit game with any Tom, Dick or Harry who creates and trades carbon credits that were conjured by their own proprietary methodology, then I have a bridge to sell you.
I wish that I could have been in attendance today, the replay was amazing to watch. Thank you Commissioner Seegers for all of your hard work.
The Commissioners are using a series of chess moves as witnessed today and called out by attendees. Johnson's mind was made up, Ozias isn't concerned with all of his constituents, and French was able to coordinate a PR play by letting the other two pass the tax. There's no question he's trying to avoid a sneaker wave. The apologetic tone by French was interestingly identical to that if the Sequim City Council when they were voting to support the school district levy & bond measures. Weird apologies to unknown people by those who voted in procedural opposition, of course we all recognize that as their apology to their handlers.
The chess game is not over. I heard many voices who seem intent on making a difference. Logistical and strategic decisions should be pursued to focus the energy. A thousand flee bites, or a dog bite?
Oh, my! It seems Rayonier has found a way to get revenge for the bad treatment their mill received. Funny how so many turned against the mill only after emissions change was forced to ‘clean’ the air by burning particulates into CO2 and much smaller particulates and the carbon monoxide into CO2. Yes, the air looked cleaner, but, I argue, less healthy. Consider the molecular weights of monoxide and dioxide and ask why God might not have wanted catalytic converters on fire. Are there other benefits of monoxide? Is CO2 actually very bad? The old con - watch over here, look up. The CO2 in the atmosphere is an existential threat. But don’t look in your community or home or your kids’ school, you are saving the planet. Welcome to the cult of shortages, crises, fear, pathos, and death, your NGOs and Democrat Party.
I have a Commissioners meeting to get to and some stuff to do, so one of my canned spiels and apologies.
Thank you. Denise. It was great meeting you. I was out of my comfort zone, but it felt good. Jeff has created something very special and brought awesome people together.
Nope. Not in Washington. Here we have RCW 41.06.250 (https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=41.06.250) where ..."employees of the state or any political subdivision thereof shall have the right to vote and to express their opinions on all political subjects and candidates"... Approved November 8, 1960.
KSQM Friday is going to be awesome. I look forward to hearing Jeff sing along to all of his theme songs as staff try to un-wedge a chair blocking the door to the studio.
Just a random thought but would not be surprised the Coast Guard would not like someone bragging they are retired CG but so afraid of someone's words they need personal security.
Seriously couldn't be more impressed with the effort for this petition. Well done, Jake. Well done Jeff. Proud of the people that give a spit around here! Hoping for the best today.... you all did you're best. Makes me think we can get some canvassing going before election time....

Kate, thank you jumping right in and letting your community know what was going on. Your signatures were delivered(:

You can't help but wonder what is next.

They thought there was going to be more small mouth fire but he lobbed in a verbal grenade.
I am not a giant. Pebbles from the Flintstones puts me on her shoulders so I can see at the drive in.
You are built like Charlie Tolar who played down in Texas for the NFL. And you deliver the package!
Pardon the reminiscing. I was around when the AFC started. Aerial blitzes and 2 point conversions. Charlie Tolar stood 5 foot 6 and packed a wallop. Called the human bowling ball by other ball players. On the Houston Oiler roster. And I remembers Spud for the Atlanta Hawks.
lol 😂
We felt you there, Dr. Sarah.

John, thank you for your behind-the-scenes untangling of it all.
French is worried about you Jake..and he should be...
Whatever today's outcome, a huge thank you to Jake, Jeff, and Dr. Sarah! THANK YOU!! We, the citizens of Clallam County, are in action, not just grumbling, about the issues. This is only the beginning. Jeff, I really am looking forward to your radio debut on Friday at 4:00. Excited! See everyone soon.
Wonderful support from our community-On-Line and in person.
We will NOT back down!!💪🏼🙌🏻🇺🇸💥🫵🏻
a foot in the door.
We have more than our “foot” in the door.
It is now lodged somewhere else 🤭
@deniselapio, thank you, as I said above in reply to @johnworthington your efforts encourage my efforts. I am sending support from Missouri in spirit!
I felt you there, Dr. Sarah!
An object in motion tends to stay in motion...Thank you for being consistently action-oriented, Denise. Many are following.
What radio debut?
See you soon Denise ❤️💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🙌🏻🙏🏼💥
Teresa Hi!
Tune in to Clallam County Watchdog on KSQM Radio
This Friday at 4 p.m., join Clallam County Watchdog on KSQM 91.5 FM for a refreshing break from heavy headlines.
Yippeeeee!!
Hi Jennifer and thank you!
Teresa, Hi, my name is Jennifer. I’m a gossip addict. The facts are good but there’s nothing like the human emotions behind them. I can’t help myself. Please tell me about the meeting today (and you do it so well) When the tribe opens a Gossip and Addiction Recovery Program GARP, I will join : )
Gossip and Addiction Recovery in Rural Communities
Features of rural life, such as low population density and greater distances from urban areas, could worsen the prospects of addiction recovery for rural residents.
We need EARS to the sky & BOOTS on the ground.. & big MOUTHS to SPEAK the speak.
Your recovery is not necessary!
LOL
😂
We all have a place.
I'm waiting to exhale after today's meeting and to find out if they will block Seeger's petitions. History tells us they will.....
"Despite unanimous commissioner support for the CCD fee weeks ago—ignoring budget errors, unclear data, and condescending remarks from CCD supervisors—will Seegers’ numbers force a rethink?"
VOTE FOR JAMES TAYLOR
VOTE FOR MAROLEE DVORAK
Jake submitted to the BoCC 1,032 signatures from the petitions. It was great! The Comms are on notice. And so is the Administrator. We are mad and we are not backing down. Even though the Resolution passed 2 to 1, they know more new taxes are on the ballot, and those may not pass. And this fight is not over.
Amen Denise!
RIP Levy Lid Lift.
The meeting I beleive was a success.
We KNOW they were GOING to push this through.
Mr. French added his “flamboyant exit” as voting “NO”.
Ask yourself “Why”.
The answer is in the question.
Nothing more than theatrical Agenda.
But enter “John Worthington”.
John, I will let you place your snip-it in here.💥
Please add Case #.
“But we are just Ants”.
Jennifer, i think we did incredible.
Jake spoke with wisdom and conviction.
Jeff spoke FACTS FACTS FACTS.
Ed, God Bless you and your Wife. Hang in there.💪🏼🇺🇸
We now have their attention.
And now at the Federal Level.
👏🏼🤑
the best visual was watching Ozias blinking get faster and face twitching when the federal complaint was mentioned
100%

Wink, wink, Eric.
Eric, basically the MAT clinic IS a Soylent Green facility...by "assisted suicide". Maybe the (eventual - God forbid) water steward position will cover that if it's to their advantage.
That would generate one polluted pellet!
Eve so, I think that's maybe why Diaper Recognition Week is so important. Not sure though.
One of my favorites, also. I just watched it about 2 weeks ago!

What an awesome display of citizens today! Thank you for your leadership Jeff and Jake on the Conservation tax petition.
Also special thanks to you Jeff for your stocking stuffer suggestion. LOL
Oh, my! It seems Rayonier has found a way to get revenge for the bad treatment their mill received.

Thank you. Denise. It was great meeting you. I was out of my comfort zone, but it felt good. Jeff has created something very special and brought awesome people together.
Don thanks, and keep it up!
Global Death Cult Syndrome!😎
Great job Jeff Tozzer and Jake Seeger~!!!
Keep up the awesome work to save our community~!!!
Thank you Marolee Smith Dvorak for all of your wonderful common-sense efforts as well~!
We will do everything that we can to support all of you~!
Sincerely, Mike
Radio spot: "...it's not all Cher". I actually lol!
Overall... great job, Jeff!
Please, someone correct me if I’m wrong. Isn’t it illegal to use government resources to promote a political issue one way or the other?
Nope. Not in Washington. Here we have RCW 41.06.250 (https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=41.06.250) where ..."employees of the state or any political subdivision thereof shall have the right to vote and to express their opinions on all political subjects and candidates"... Approved November 8, 1960.
That figures....
The Hatch act? that's federal.
KSQM Friday is going to be awesome. I look forward to hearing Jeff sing along to all of his theme songs as staff try to un-wedge a chair blocking the door to the studio.
While Suggs, a long-time council member, vaguely touts “slow growth” <--- You have proved it the last 6 years.
Time for change now!
Just a random thought but would not be surprised the Coast Guard would not like someone bragging they are retired CG but so afraid of someone's words they need personal security.
Keep Faith.
If we are “right” & this is Justice.. the Good people will prevail.
Maybe we have more pushing to do.. maybe not. 💥🙌🏻
Jake!
When you believe and take the “stand” because it is in good faith and pure at heart.
Winning !! 🥇
Together, we are the “Ant” colony.
🇺🇸💪🏼
