These 3 idiots need gone yesterday.. Residents cant deal with anymore money grabs from these corrupt so called politicians. This has to be the turning point !!!
I suppose one could view the three as doing a good job at scratching each other's backs. Did French changed his tune on Towne Road to give him voting capital to be used later as in yesterday? Is this how these three operate?
It's why I've been supportive of a 5 commissioner board.
Jeff Swegle that is my fear. The Central Committee working for the Soviet Communist Party at one time had over 300 members. Perhaps the answer is fewer government officials.
The radical democrats see their supporters leaving because of their radical agendas so they double down do not change for the better and keep trying to build their support by initiating more and more groups,committee's,NGO's,chat sites,raising fee's & taxes to hire more personel.We see this with the 3 board commissioners that need to go ASAP.There was a comment recently about how many NGO's that these three commissioners belong to and it was disturbing.I do believe that NGO's are tied to govt just a smoke screen.
If I wear a shirt that says, "I LIKE SEX WITH WOMEN"... What does that say? It says I AM LOOKING!!! Christy's girlfriend, better gets your $hit in order...
This is clerly a narcissist looking to "upgrade" his/her? partner.
I believe that Jeff possesses a gift for metaphor. Most legislative events are boring unless a sudden fist fight erupts. I believe that Jeff displays a talent for converting boring elements into interesting phenomenon. I have lived in Sequim for 12 years and I could not find Towne Road on a map before Mr. Tozzer introduced the issue on Nextdoor.
To me, your thoughtful comment was a smooth, gentle nozzle of an addict's boofing kit.
It was the sweetest carrot in a lesbian's garden, Steve.
Your comment made me happier than a CCD supervisor receiving $100k for not irrigating my crops. (That last one may have been a simile... I always get confused.
Billy T Wilson ha ha I wish her luck. My observation indicates a very old and overweight selection for a romantic alliance here in Sequim. Perhaps she can't compete in an urban area such as Seattle.
I always enjoyed watching the comical antics of "The Three Stooges" television series but I shudder to consider Moe, Larry and Curly controlling a government office. Greg O. I hope we have reached a "turning point!!!
Congrats and thanks to Jake and Jeff for spearheading the petition drive, and bringing the heat on this issue. Obviously the only way real change can occur, on any and all issues related to the CCC, is both continue to bring the heat, and to vote the current members out of office -- no easy task given their entrenchment with powerful forces in the county.
I also put a bug in his head about representing my district 3, I think he would make a great commissioner and I would do anything to help the greater good for it to happen. I’m sure there’s a lot of CC Watchdogers out there to help!
We definitely need some representation that can think on their own. So if anyone is "smarticles enuf" to step forward and have enough cajones to enable critical thinking skills over peer pressure... then dammit you've got my vote.
MIMI, JAMES, JACOB I will promote you!
Anyone else whom can prove yourself as anything stronger than a puppet, then I will support you as well 😊 🙂😉
If 1,032 individuals were to convince a handful of friends in PA to vote from Mimi and James, that would be a heck of a thing...Kristen can you make it 120 again?
I was proud to be among many good neighbors yesterday, trying to resist the bad process of the extraction of their life's energy, to please poor stewards of the public trust who seem to value pleasing a small number of unjust neighbors, over the mutual benefit we all ought to seek and enjoy.
Where is the measurable value in rewarding this overated NGO with ANY public funds?
Why would anyone vote for more of this disdain from our elected commissioners in the next election?
THERE ARE MANY MISINFORMED VOTERS WHO BELIEVE IT IS ONLY $5
...not just “five bucks”...“The measure will require property owners to pay roughly $2 million over the NEXT 10 YEARS but tribal parcels in federal trust will be exempt”...
WE DON’T CARE WHO YOU SLEEP WITH CHRISTY COX “...who attended the meeting wearing an “America Needs Lesbian Farmers” shirt” Being Lesbian does not make anyone a better farmer anymore that being Native makes for better land/water stewards. Wearing the Scarlet Letter ‘L’ shirt is insulting to the farming community.
YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A PSYCHIC, YOU NEED TO BE A CHESS PLAYER
...”The meeting was scheduled to conclude with a Commissioners’ Forum, a rare chance for the public to directly QUESTION THEIR ELECTED LEADERS. But because the meeting ran LONG, the forum was CANCELED”
I knew it wouldn’t stay at $5. When has any tax “stayed” at the rate it was quoted? This is how it always goes. What’s $5, no big deal….etc
Give an inch and you know the rest.
I’m sure they set French up to make it look like he wanted to prevent it. They must think we possess just a couple of brain cells. No ignorance is saved for the three little pigs. This really pisses me off. Maybe if everyone shorted their tax payment by $5, they would blow up with paper work and wasted time.
Well…. As the resolution reads this fee/tax remains at $5 for the next 10 years and then expires. It has to be reapproved by the future commissioners at possibly a higher rate.
The RCW‘s allow for up to a $25 fee. The reason this resolution took an extra couple of weeks was to add language stating that it would not go up and remain at five dollars for 10 years and then expire.
It's not hard to imagine that the CCD made some calls to generate support from their fan club. Did they lie, again, in order to put those poor people up to the task of saying uninformed things so that Commissioner Ozias could give greater weight to them. They sounded truly ignorant and coached.
Those “poor people” have hitched their wagons to the wrong person. Of course his people were called. He probably has one citizen in charge of reporting what CC Watchdog is up to and what the comments are saying.
He would have to be a complete moron not to have his finger on the pulse of the (CCW) county. Hey wait, he is a complete moron bc his loyalty is with the tribe. The petition signing was 4x more voters than the tribe has members in the area. I enjoy watching a politician dig his own grave. The bonus: Washington State allows the dead to be buried on own property. Go Washington, so edgy!
I busted my backside gathering those signatures.. & not because I knew so much about the CCD that I personally rejected their entire premise. I did it because I LOVE MY HOME & I don’t like watching this slow motion decay of the place that built me. The fact that they went ahead w/ it regardless of the overwhelming opposition infuriates me beyond words. I’m w/ Jake- I will do everything in my power to make sure none of them have a seat in leadership here again. That includes Mike French. He’s a liar & in my opinion a thief. He’s unapologetic about picking our pockets w/ a smile on his face & that to me is unforgivable. Don’t even get me started on Mark Ozias, I’ll end up weaving a tapestry of obscenities that’ll hang in space over clallam County for decades to come.
Kirsten, OMG 120 signatures!!!! I'd help you weave your tapestry of obscenities, I'm a Marine Corps daughter who had 4 brothers. I can spit em out Full Medal Jacket style. Just F ing let me know ; )
Sarah, Marine Corps brats are a group of their own. Semper Fidelis "always loyal" and "leave no man behind" was ingrained in me. Yes, we are tough and resilient. Glad to meet you Sarah : )

Marge Rassel Nextdoor Over one thousand signatures on the petition and a packed courtroom-the CCD commissioner’s minds were already made up. No wonder there are so many unhappy constituents. mhttps://www.ccwatchdog.com/p/commissioners-approve-5-ccd-parcel?r=asr62&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
VIEWER COMMENTS: Matt P: Didn't read the rabble rousing link. I am shocked, SHOCKED, that this little pretend uproar thing for $5 didn't make a difference. That the government didn't listen to all the naysayers who were pretending to make up numbers rather than the reality of the situation where the CCD is losing their funding because Trump.
Kevin E: That (mis) leading headline 😆 "Commissioners approve $5 CCD parcel fee DESPITE PUBLIC OPINION". So out of 77,000 people, only 1,000 signed the petition and now we somehow have public opposition.
David: I added the meeting thought the commissioners were attentive and respectful. Many of the opponents raised so good questions, although (just my opinion) a few were wandering into tinfoil hat land. A point the opponents didn't seem to grasp was when the District manager explained they are audited by the State every three years and have never had finding against them. We still live in a country with open government, even if the process is cumbersome and the results don't make everyone happy.
Want to hear something about Marge? She’s driven 4,966 views to CCWD and brought in 78 new subscribers—more than anyone else (I’ve only managed 46!).
People listen to her. She’s a true leader, and we’re incredibly lucky to have her on our team. I’ve tried bribing her with an all-expenses-paid trip to Joyce—she refused. Offered to be her personal cabana boy—she’s holding out for someone more attractive. Even promised a month of dinners at the Cornerhouse in Port Angeles—turns out it closed years ago.
Marge is humble, but she’s got the magic touch. I hate how Nextdoor treats her, but the truth is, they’re paying attention.
You will recognize the writing style and commentary of Matt P. as our beloved and banned Matthew from ccwd comments!
I've tried communicating with him on ND after he tried to call me out for closing comments immediately after making a post about my farming family who was not in support of the CCD parcel fee.
I didn't want to have to babysit my post in a well known hostile environment for even mentioning a CCWD article.
So for anyone who misses Matthew, you can find him happily trolling away on ND
I am convinced he is either a sock puppet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sock_puppet_account), or a real person who happens to have a trust fund. How else can one person be so relentlessly pro tax?
Possibly so. I would have to pay enough attention to how he writes on ND to make the correlation but ultimately I cannot stand being on there. But I recognize Matt P. As Matthew right away
Kristen, you killed it! Don't let their smiles deceive you. They sense that their foundation is crumbling because citizens like you are defending the homes and the people they love.
It was a pleasure meeting you last weekend. Thank you for busting your backside for our county!
Thank you everyone who got down in the trenches and did the leg work.Also all supporters.New battles and old issues surround us.I know some would not use the local paper in the bottom of a bird cage.I read out of habit.The CC Health and Human Services is requesting $25,000 to create a report which should have been in hand years ago.It is absolutely mind boggling.Basically another study leading to no change.
Clallam County was proudly represented at yesterday's BoCC meeting. All those citizens who spoke against the parcel fee gave thoughtful comments and prudent alternatives. Even some proponents gave reasons by examples why they support it. The only groups with no clue as to the business at hand were the CCD and the BoCC. A staged Q & A Forum for the public's benefit was pathetic. Leading questions by the Board and word salad answers from the CCD reps only epitomized each other's incompetence and hypocrisy. Gimme, gimme, gimme! Tax and spend, rinse, repeat. Jeff, you were awesome yesterday! The Watchdog has teeth!
Ozias did again what he's done before when he suggested testimonials could help showcase CCD’s success. He's told other organizations to do the same in the past in an effort to support their causes as if that testimony has more weight than the anti-crowd.
Those testimonials should have been obtained prior to and at the meeting! If private enterprises ran their companies the way the Commissioners are running this county they would be broke in short order! Oh yeah, they are broke...big shortfall! It's time to stop the taxpayer's bleeding because of mismanagement and frivolous spending.
Congratulations to Jeff Tozzer, Jake Seegers, and EVERYONE who took part in this Countywide rejection of the criminally corrupt agenda of the Commissioner "clown show" and their deeply insulting "Clallam Conservation District" power grab~! By these criminals in the Clallam County government ramming this new $5 fee, and the outrageous power grab that will surely follow, down everyone's throats, they actually lost FAR more than they foolishly believe that they have gained~! Thanks to the extremely well described conspiracy of the corrupt commissioners that Jeff Tozzer and Jake Seegers and others have exposed, "we" all have our task ahead to remove these scumbags from office ASAP~! I for one am more than willing to play my part to IMMEDIATELY petition for the removal of these slimy characters from office and I know a number of great folks here on The Watchdog and in the greater community would also do what they could to help purge these people from our government, but at the very least we know that Mike French has already proven that he is concerned about his continued employment as a commissioner~! Let's ALL find an honorable Constitutionally minded Individual who "we" (the good folks of our community) can back to replace Mike French in the upcoming election, for it is only our fault if we allow him to deceive us again by "suddenly" faking his support of the majority of folks here~!!! BY Mike French's own "sudden support" of the will of the good folks here, is the best proof that we need of his vulnerability and we absolutely MUST remember his betrayals of his oath of office~! French is only attempting to play the good folks in our community for fools once again, so God willing "we" will NOT allow him to get away with it this time... So, our job is to find someone trustworthy and to make sure that the general public is well informed of the best choice to remove & replace Mike French from office forever~! We have a great opportunity here and Mike French himself just proved our best path to start eliminating these corrupt characters from our government. Imagine how many petitioner signatures and votes that "we" can muster now, after just being "slapped" and insulted by these criminals in our midst~!!! We can do it~!!! Sincerely, Mike
I have decided to do my part to get as much information out as possible to people who do not vote and people who do not know what they are voting for.
I'm encouraging many of the non voters I personally know to step up and I will be sharing as much knowledge as possible to people about who all is pulling the puppet strings and how we as a community can pay enough attention to make informed decisions when we cast our votes.
In a world of robots, I'm choosing humanity. And I'm taking as many people as I can with me
A dose of Tozzer each morning is the simple cure for lack of information. Also, the Tozzer vitamin will speed kick a reader in to a volunteer or active citizen. It’s free, small enough to swallow, only positive side effects, and one could always quit with limited withdrawal. Print out a couple CCWatchdog stories and share with the uninformed neighbors. They will become Tozzer Team members. (If not, we didn’t need them)
Knowledge is power.
People are power. Quit screwing with us,
Clallam County Commissioners. You are causing county wide nausea. Ozais is the head virus spreader!
You are doing what ALL good Americans should do, especially now, because this is the war between Goodness VS evil and everyone will be forever living with the choices that they make today~! We (Americans) have never been told the truth about our beloved country; however, can you imagine how rightfully proud the original American Patriots always were for the rest of their lives for their contributions that resulted in the founding of The American Dream~? The estimates are not certain, but approximately 1/3 of the people in the original colonies were loyal to the British Monarchy, 1/3 were brainless "useful idiots" that didn't know enough to care what happened, and then there were about 1/3 of the folks who very clearly understood that Individual freedom was the MOST precious and important concept that had ever been conceived on earth for humans to aspire to~! That last 1/3 of the people in the original colonies actually became the greatest large group of human Patriots that had ever lived. Men, women, and many children made the decision to risk everything, including their very lives, to stand against the exact same kinds of "Big Government Oppression and atrocities" that the American Patriots of today are fighting against~! It is no longer just a "Republican revolution" against the deep state criminals of humanity who ruthlessly control the Democrat party and the treasonous RINO's, because Good American Patriots at some point do actually come together by dropping the foolish bickering BS that divides the "simpletons" (weak minded fools) against each other, so that the REAL Patriots can defeat the common enemy from within and outside of America~! Once an Individual understands that they have been played for a fool to "trigger" them into destroying their own country, friends, family, and lives, then they can best mentally, physically, and Spiritually take actions to defeat those who have been playing them for fools~! Such Patriots, once Enlightened, actually become the most powerful "warriors" on earth and as a group they can't be easily defeated~! Yes, you are 100% correct, that the more Good folks "we" can muster into the ranks of honestly informed voters, and American Patriots who will NOT be denied their freedoms and rights, the better and quicker all of this insanity will end because the criminals of humanity and their "useful idiots" are extremely dangerous but they are also cowards who will most likely run away and hide at the first sign the Patriots become focused upon them~! Those who do not run away are always eventually caught and they receive a gruesome Justice at the hands of those who they have pushed too far. This history is quite clear in the human experience going back thousands of years... As an American Constitutionalist I always prefer that justice is administered in an honorable and appropriate manner, however throughout history this is not always possible because the REAL criminals of humanity often refuse to surrender, and they are sometimes prepared to do anything that they can to harm as many people as possible. Personally, I believe that the time for a peaceful resolution may already have passed long ago, however "we" (The REAL American Patriots) must do what we can to keep the peace as much and as long as is prudently possible~! The problem is that "we" (The majority of Americans) NEVER voted for this insane government that is Hell bent on violating The American Constitution, not to mention the mass murder of as many Americans as possible, so it is unlikely that we shall ever be able to vote our way out of the problems that we have. When the elections are terribly rigged for many decades, and that they have been regardless of what anyone believes, the very worst results can and will be realized until the will of the people is FULLY restored~! Godspeed my friend, because going into the future it will be VERY important to know that "we" did everything humanly possible to remain peaceful... Have a great early Fall Day and God willing things will remain peaceful while we continue to eliminate the criminals of humanity and their insane minions~!!!
It is not "comfortable" however "we" are all here right now to play our roles in this truly extraordinarily time in history that a great many millions of our ancestors could only dream of experiencing~! You are doing an excellent job my fellow American Patriot~! Hang in there and keep the faith, because the truth is that these criminals among us and all across America (and the world) are not going to be able to maintain their evil power much longer... Too many have been shocked into awakening to what is really going on and that my friend spells the end to this evil oppressive control forever! We must not only defeat these scumbags that have been controlling humanity, but we absolutely MUST make sure that the young and future generations learn the truth and the lessons that they will need to preserve Individual freedom and rights going into the future. It is incredibly exciting for those of us who are REAL students of history to watch this all unfolding because this means that "we" (Americans and humanity) will soon be free to be able to accomplish anything~! Much will be revealed about the great patents and inventions that have been withheld from us over the coming years, and folks today won't believe how great the future will and can be~! All because good folks like you are stepping up to play your part in bringing local folks together all across the US and world~! Keep up the great work and every time these monsters try to tell you that you failed, you can bet that it is they who are failing now ;-)
Thank you Kristen ! Thank you Jake and Jeff and thank you Doug for you supporting Jeff ! And thank you all of the ccd community you know who you are ! You validate me and help give us all resolve ! This is just the beginning ! Now if you will excuse me l need to start my day with some lesbian fruits and vegetables because they help build bodies better , more vitamins and choline for memory and math skills !
Something’s got to give, this Seattle model is not going to work. Handouts in the past 5-10 years have done absolutely nothing to provide public safety with any sort of accountability by this band of Commissioners. I love my country, but fear my government.
I'm thinking being smited by the BOCCC will drive resolve that will translate into the action that is needed. I see it as a self-inflicted wound that has yet to fester.
Our commissioners are pigs at the trough feeding their egos.
I think it is less about the $'s and more about the power and control. Since the CCD is non-regulatory, they could not impose this new tax. Our commissioners did the regulating. What will commissioners next regulate at the request of the CCD? Mandatory fees for water usage consumption?
You were handed 1032 petition signatures to not pass the $5 parcel fee, yet you chose not to listen. You were presented facts and figures of financial mismanagement and math that didn't add up, yet you chose to ignore it. The one no vote cast, we see right through. It was nothing but a cowardly way to cover one's ass in an upcoming election. You had an opportunity to table the vote to give further consideration to the significant opposition, yet you decided to push it through anyway. We have had enough! We are organizing, coalescing, and gathering an army to oppose and throw out of office elected officials who fail to represent their constituents and pander to select groups, we know who they are. I will do my best to be a part of this opposition and will work tirelessly to put an end to each one of your political careers and replace you with people of integrity and honesty. We have had enough!
These 3 idiots need gone yesterday.. Residents cant deal with anymore money grabs from these corrupt so called politicians. This has to be the turning point !!!
I suppose one could view the three as doing a good job at scratching each other's backs. Did French changed his tune on Towne Road to give him voting capital to be used later as in yesterday? Is this how these three operate?
It's why I've been supportive of a 5 commissioner board.
MK You made the FRENCH CONNECTION for me.
I fear we would then have 5 taxaholic parasite back scratchers.
Jeff Swegle that is my fear. The Central Committee working for the Soviet Communist Party at one time had over 300 members. Perhaps the answer is fewer government officials.
The radical democrats see their supporters leaving because of their radical agendas so they double down do not change for the better and keep trying to build their support by initiating more and more groups,committee's,NGO's,chat sites,raising fee's & taxes to hire more personel.We see this with the 3 board commissioners that need to go ASAP.There was a comment recently about how many NGO's that these three commissioners belong to and it was disturbing.I do believe that NGO's are tied to govt just a smoke screen.
MK that is an idea because it would diffuse power.
If I wear a shirt that says, "I LIKE SEX WITH WOMEN"... What does that say? It says I AM LOOKING!!! Christy's girlfriend, better gets your $hit in order...
This is clerly a narcissist looking to "upgrade" his/her? partner.
Such an immature choice of clothing. Tells you just how incapable of acting with an adult brain.
Now, stay in school kids!
It was intentional.🛑
There is a “storyline” being pushed among us.
A new history will be rewritten.
Unless…
we folk get all up in there and “CALL the QUESTION”.
Everything is in plain sight.
I know so little.
Jeff-
Great writing as usual.
I have your “Radio” show on
my calendar for Friday.
Go CCWD!!
I am very pleased with the participation & “awareness” this meeting brought to the public.
Glass Half full right?
- critical awareness.
🇺🇸💪🏼🙏🏼💥👏🏼
I believe that Jeff possesses a gift for metaphor. Most legislative events are boring unless a sudden fist fight erupts. I believe that Jeff displays a talent for converting boring elements into interesting phenomenon. I have lived in Sequim for 12 years and I could not find Towne Road on a map before Mr. Tozzer introduced the issue on Nextdoor.

To me, your thoughtful comment was a smooth, gentle nozzle of an addict's boofing kit.
It was the sweetest carrot in a lesbian's garden, Steve.
Your comment made me happier than a CCD supervisor receiving $100k for not irrigating my crops. (That last one may have been a simile... I always get confused.
I'm wondering if she was taking a pot shot at Jeff?
I GROW DELICIOUS CARROTS!!!
🤷🏻♀️
Billy T Wilson ha ha I wish her luck. My observation indicates a very old and overweight selection for a romantic alliance here in Sequim. Perhaps she can't compete in an urban area such as Seattle.
How is farming related to sexual preference?

From here on out I'm addressing Jake as Commissioner Seegers. It's cemented in my head.
I also put a bug in his head about representing my district 3, I think he would make a great commissioner and I would do anything to help the greater good for it to happen. I’m sure there’s a lot of CC Watchdogers out there to help!
As well as Teresa Miller for commissioner also 🙏🏻🙏🏻
We definitely need some representation that can think on their own. So if anyone is "smarticles enuf" to step forward and have enough cajones to enable critical thinking skills over peer pressure... then dammit you've got my vote.
MIMI, JAMES, JACOB I will promote you!
Anyone else whom can prove yourself as anything stronger than a puppet, then I will support you as well 😊 🙂😉
If 1,032 individuals were to convince a handful of friends in PA to vote from Mimi and James, that would be a heck of a thing...Kristen can you make it 120 again?
Really enjoyed meeting you, Christine.
Same here Jake, as we talked about, I’m on a mission to get answers
Love it!

Next year $10, year after $20...
Billy thank you, I didn't know exactly how that worked. If I didn't know, for sure there are many more less informed.
I knew it wouldn’t stay at $5. When has any tax “stayed” at the rate it was quoted? This is how it always goes. What’s $5, no big deal….etc
Give an inch and you know the rest.
I’m sure they set French up to make it look like he wanted to prevent it. They must think we possess just a couple of brain cells. No ignorance is saved for the three little pigs. This really pisses me off. Maybe if everyone shorted their tax payment by $5, they would blow up with paper work and wasted time.
Randy likes to play "good cop" but I guess he let French do that this time due to next election
Well…. As the resolution reads this fee/tax remains at $5 for the next 10 years and then expires. It has to be reapproved by the future commissioners at possibly a higher rate.
Mt understanding was 5$ up to 25$ for the next 10 years. Someone pleased correct me if I'm wrong.
The RCW‘s allow for up to a $25 fee. The reason this resolution took an extra couple of weeks was to add language stating that it would not go up and remain at five dollars for 10 years and then expire.
Thank you. I appreciate the clarification 🙂
It's not hard to imagine that the CCD made some calls to generate support from their fan club. Did they lie, again, in order to put those poor people up to the task of saying uninformed things so that Commissioner Ozias could give greater weight to them. They sounded truly ignorant and coached.
Those “poor people” have hitched their wagons to the wrong person. Of course his people were called. He probably has one citizen in charge of reporting what CC Watchdog is up to and what the comments are saying.

People listen to her. She’s a true leader, and we’re incredibly lucky to have her on our team. I’ve tried bribing her with an all-expenses-paid trip to Joyce—she refused. Offered to be her personal cabana boy—she’s holding out for someone more attractive. Even promised a month of dinners at the Cornerhouse in Port Angeles—turns out it closed years ago.
Marge is humble, but she’s got the magic touch. I hate how Nextdoor treats her, but the truth is, they’re paying attention.
I love Marge Rassel too! She just hangs in there no matter what. Did you try bribing her with FREE PIZZA?
You will recognize the writing style and commentary of Matt P. as our beloved and banned Matthew from ccwd comments!
I've tried communicating with him on ND after he tried to call me out for closing comments immediately after making a post about my farming family who was not in support of the CCD parcel fee.
I didn't want to have to babysit my post in a well known hostile environment for even mentioning a CCWD article.
So for anyone who misses Matthew, you can find him happily trolling away on ND
I am convinced he is either a sock puppet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sock_puppet_account), or a real person who happens to have a trust fund. How else can one person be so relentlessly pro tax?
Great catch, SC!
SC, I'm wondering if Kevin E was our own dear nasty Kevin? Well, they found a perfect place to make their beds.
Possibly so. I would have to pay enough attention to how he writes on ND to make the correlation but ultimately I cannot stand being on there. But I recognize Matt P. As Matthew right away
Kristen, you killed it! Don't let their smiles deceive you. They sense that their foundation is crumbling because citizens like you are defending the homes and the people they love.
It was a pleasure meeting you last weekend. Thank you for busting your backside for our county!
Thank you District "X" Commissioner Kirsten. You're engagement is inspiring.
My sense is a strategy session is in order.
Exactly!!!
Thank you everyone who got down in the trenches and did the leg work.Also all supporters.New battles and old issues surround us.I know some would not use the local paper in the bottom of a bird cage.I read out of habit.The CC Health and Human Services is requesting $25,000 to create a report which should have been in hand years ago.It is absolutely mind boggling.Basically another study leading to no change.
thanks for mentioning this. Doesn't it seem like this report should have been the ongoing job of paid staff?
Exactly.
Maybe CCWatchdog group could go in and do the work for free, 🤣
The term "lead fart in church" comes to mind.
Don't forget to add the song by Quiet Riot, we're not going to take it.
My song is - should i stay or should I go.
I will be sharing my lyrics with Mr. Tozzer as they come🤣
I don't know that one. I know a song by that name by Twisted Sister, though. 😉
Clallam County was proudly represented at yesterday's BoCC meeting. All those citizens who spoke against the parcel fee gave thoughtful comments and prudent alternatives. Even some proponents gave reasons by examples why they support it. The only groups with no clue as to the business at hand were the CCD and the BoCC. A staged Q & A Forum for the public's benefit was pathetic. Leading questions by the Board and word salad answers from the CCD reps only epitomized each other's incompetence and hypocrisy. Gimme, gimme, gimme! Tax and spend, rinse, repeat. Jeff, you were awesome yesterday! The Watchdog has teeth!
Well said, Denise!
If this doesn't spotlight the need to "clean house" next election then what does?
Ozias did again what he's done before when he suggested testimonials could help showcase CCD’s success. He's told other organizations to do the same in the past in an effort to support their causes as if that testimony has more weight than the anti-crowd.
Those testimonials should have been obtained prior to and at the meeting! If private enterprises ran their companies the way the Commissioners are running this county they would be broke in short order! Oh yeah, they are broke...big shortfall! It's time to stop the taxpayer's bleeding because of mismanagement and frivolous spending.
"Let me give you $2 million of taxpayer money and some marketing recommendations to help you steal more in the future."
Congratulations to Jeff Tozzer, Jake Seegers, and EVERYONE who took part in this Countywide rejection of the criminally corrupt agenda of the Commissioner "clown show" and their deeply insulting "Clallam Conservation District" power grab~! By these criminals in the Clallam County government ramming this new $5 fee, and the outrageous power grab that will surely follow, down everyone's throats, they actually lost FAR more than they foolishly believe that they have gained~! Thanks to the extremely well described conspiracy of the corrupt commissioners that Jeff Tozzer and Jake Seegers and others have exposed, "we" all have our task ahead to remove these scumbags from office ASAP~! I for one am more than willing to play my part to IMMEDIATELY petition for the removal of these slimy characters from office and I know a number of great folks here on The Watchdog and in the greater community would also do what they could to help purge these people from our government, but at the very least we know that Mike French has already proven that he is concerned about his continued employment as a commissioner~! Let's ALL find an honorable Constitutionally minded Individual who "we" (the good folks of our community) can back to replace Mike French in the upcoming election, for it is only our fault if we allow him to deceive us again by "suddenly" faking his support of the majority of folks here~!!! BY Mike French's own "sudden support" of the will of the good folks here, is the best proof that we need of his vulnerability and we absolutely MUST remember his betrayals of his oath of office~! French is only attempting to play the good folks in our community for fools once again, so God willing "we" will NOT allow him to get away with it this time... So, our job is to find someone trustworthy and to make sure that the general public is well informed of the best choice to remove & replace Mike French from office forever~! We have a great opportunity here and Mike French himself just proved our best path to start eliminating these corrupt characters from our government. Imagine how many petitioner signatures and votes that "we" can muster now, after just being "slapped" and insulted by these criminals in our midst~!!! We can do it~!!! Sincerely, Mike
I have decided to do my part to get as much information out as possible to people who do not vote and people who do not know what they are voting for.
I'm encouraging many of the non voters I personally know to step up and I will be sharing as much knowledge as possible to people about who all is pulling the puppet strings and how we as a community can pay enough attention to make informed decisions when we cast our votes.
In a world of robots, I'm choosing humanity. And I'm taking as many people as I can with me
I was amazed at how many of my neighbors had no idea, and don't like what they see going on. Getting them involved is another trick.
A dose of Tozzer each morning is the simple cure for lack of information. Also, the Tozzer vitamin will speed kick a reader in to a volunteer or active citizen. It’s free, small enough to swallow, only positive side effects, and one could always quit with limited withdrawal. Print out a couple CCWatchdog stories and share with the uninformed neighbors. They will become Tozzer Team members. (If not, we didn’t need them)
Knowledge is power.
People are power. Quit screwing with us,
Clallam County Commissioners. You are causing county wide nausea. Ozais is the head virus spreader!
You and others are up to something today, Susan. The new subscribers are pouring in!
I really got out of my reclusive comfort zone when I went around knocking on my neighbors doors.
I am printing out articles for senior neighbors who cannot afford internet.
I even got the lady who I regularly yell at for speeding down the dirt road to sign my petition.
There are so many people who just don't know the inner workings.
I didn't know either. I would just complain about the outcome.
It's so wild to see how intensely our little community has changed. And people want to know why.
We can make a change I think.
Bit we need to do it in a both intense and delicate manner ( if that makes sense)
Little stories like this make my day.
Excellent Patriot SC~!
You are doing what ALL good Americans should do, especially now, because this is the war between Goodness VS evil and everyone will be forever living with the choices that they make today~! We (Americans) have never been told the truth about our beloved country; however, can you imagine how rightfully proud the original American Patriots always were for the rest of their lives for their contributions that resulted in the founding of The American Dream~? The estimates are not certain, but approximately 1/3 of the people in the original colonies were loyal to the British Monarchy, 1/3 were brainless "useful idiots" that didn't know enough to care what happened, and then there were about 1/3 of the folks who very clearly understood that Individual freedom was the MOST precious and important concept that had ever been conceived on earth for humans to aspire to~! That last 1/3 of the people in the original colonies actually became the greatest large group of human Patriots that had ever lived. Men, women, and many children made the decision to risk everything, including their very lives, to stand against the exact same kinds of "Big Government Oppression and atrocities" that the American Patriots of today are fighting against~! It is no longer just a "Republican revolution" against the deep state criminals of humanity who ruthlessly control the Democrat party and the treasonous RINO's, because Good American Patriots at some point do actually come together by dropping the foolish bickering BS that divides the "simpletons" (weak minded fools) against each other, so that the REAL Patriots can defeat the common enemy from within and outside of America~! Once an Individual understands that they have been played for a fool to "trigger" them into destroying their own country, friends, family, and lives, then they can best mentally, physically, and Spiritually take actions to defeat those who have been playing them for fools~! Such Patriots, once Enlightened, actually become the most powerful "warriors" on earth and as a group they can't be easily defeated~! Yes, you are 100% correct, that the more Good folks "we" can muster into the ranks of honestly informed voters, and American Patriots who will NOT be denied their freedoms and rights, the better and quicker all of this insanity will end because the criminals of humanity and their "useful idiots" are extremely dangerous but they are also cowards who will most likely run away and hide at the first sign the Patriots become focused upon them~! Those who do not run away are always eventually caught and they receive a gruesome Justice at the hands of those who they have pushed too far. This history is quite clear in the human experience going back thousands of years... As an American Constitutionalist I always prefer that justice is administered in an honorable and appropriate manner, however throughout history this is not always possible because the REAL criminals of humanity often refuse to surrender, and they are sometimes prepared to do anything that they can to harm as many people as possible. Personally, I believe that the time for a peaceful resolution may already have passed long ago, however "we" (The REAL American Patriots) must do what we can to keep the peace as much and as long as is prudently possible~! The problem is that "we" (The majority of Americans) NEVER voted for this insane government that is Hell bent on violating The American Constitution, not to mention the mass murder of as many Americans as possible, so it is unlikely that we shall ever be able to vote our way out of the problems that we have. When the elections are terribly rigged for many decades, and that they have been regardless of what anyone believes, the very worst results can and will be realized until the will of the people is FULLY restored~! Godspeed my friend, because going into the future it will be VERY important to know that "we" did everything humanly possible to remain peaceful... Have a great early Fall Day and God willing things will remain peaceful while we continue to eliminate the criminals of humanity and their insane minions~!!!
Sincerely, Mike
Thank you Mike! 😊
My duty and pleasure my friend~!
It is not "comfortable" however "we" are all here right now to play our roles in this truly extraordinarily time in history that a great many millions of our ancestors could only dream of experiencing~! You are doing an excellent job my fellow American Patriot~! Hang in there and keep the faith, because the truth is that these criminals among us and all across America (and the world) are not going to be able to maintain their evil power much longer... Too many have been shocked into awakening to what is really going on and that my friend spells the end to this evil oppressive control forever! We must not only defeat these scumbags that have been controlling humanity, but we absolutely MUST make sure that the young and future generations learn the truth and the lessons that they will need to preserve Individual freedom and rights going into the future. It is incredibly exciting for those of us who are REAL students of history to watch this all unfolding because this means that "we" (Americans and humanity) will soon be free to be able to accomplish anything~! Much will be revealed about the great patents and inventions that have been withheld from us over the coming years, and folks today won't believe how great the future will and can be~! All because good folks like you are stepping up to play your part in bringing local folks together all across the US and world~! Keep up the great work and every time these monsters try to tell you that you failed, you can bet that it is they who are failing now ;-)
Sincerely, Mike
Bravo!
I watched the debacle and was so proud of how well CC Watchdog was represented! We are on the right side of History. Keep up the pressure people 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thank you Kristen ! Thank you Jake and Jeff and thank you Doug for you supporting Jeff ! And thank you all of the ccd community you know who you are ! You validate me and help give us all resolve ! This is just the beginning ! Now if you will excuse me l need to start my day with some lesbian fruits and vegetables because they help build bodies better , more vitamins and choline for memory and math skills !
Randy, I love the smell of laughter in the morning
Something’s got to give, this Seattle model is not going to work. Handouts in the past 5-10 years have done absolutely nothing to provide public safety with any sort of accountability by this band of Commissioners. I love my country, but fear my government.
I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Help my self to your property.money and your freed
Thanks for the fight CCWD!
Jake, so well spoken yesterday.
I am going to “try” and type my thoughts up next week to keep
me focused and grounded.
I get soo heated!
God challenges me daily in the department of “patience” & “eloquence”.
Thank you Jeff, Jake, there are many others…🙏🏼🫵🏻💪🏼
This is not over.
It’s just beginning.
Lets find our places and begin again.
I heard one of us say they probably wont come to any more meetings.
What?
It is because people give up.
Slow and steady wins the race… in this case, we need nothing except consistency.
If it is wrong why would you give up?
Fight for Freedom.
So what’s next!?
Cant wait, sign me up.
Get digging.
Kim had NO Checks, Charts, balances… just “trust me, i did the things”.
Those people walked out before public comment.
COWARDS.
You Christy, Kim and staff are wrong.
I do not support your un-ethical stance by taking blood money.
Or Lesbian carrots for that matter.
Despicable.
Big LOVE to CCWD ❤️💪🏼🇺🇸
I'm thinking being smited by the BOCCC will drive resolve that will translate into the action that is needed. I see it as a self-inflicted wound that has yet to fester.
“When if at first we don’t succeed” …..
You stay persistent.
Remember...
The second mouse gets the cheese.
I love cheese.
Thank you Teresa. Yesterday I remember being so grateful that you highlighted points that I had missed!
SHAME
"Wooo Pig Sooie"
Our commissioners are pigs at the trough feeding their egos.
I think it is less about the $'s and more about the power and control. Since the CCD is non-regulatory, they could not impose this new tax. Our commissioners did the regulating. What will commissioners next regulate at the request of the CCD? Mandatory fees for water usage consumption?
You are spot on. Why meters on wells?
My letter to the Commissioners:
Clallam County Commissioners,
You were handed 1032 petition signatures to not pass the $5 parcel fee, yet you chose not to listen. You were presented facts and figures of financial mismanagement and math that didn't add up, yet you chose to ignore it. The one no vote cast, we see right through. It was nothing but a cowardly way to cover one's ass in an upcoming election. You had an opportunity to table the vote to give further consideration to the significant opposition, yet you decided to push it through anyway. We have had enough! We are organizing, coalescing, and gathering an army to oppose and throw out of office elected officials who fail to represent their constituents and pander to select groups, we know who they are. I will do my best to be a part of this opposition and will work tirelessly to put an end to each one of your political careers and replace you with people of integrity and honesty. We have had enough!
Joe Givens
Thanks for taking the time to write and send that SnoJoe.
Haha, are you listening?
Only when I mow the lawn, drive, walk, and do chores around the house. Love it!
<HAPPY DANCE> New one coming out this morning!
