This is the kind if organization I wish we’d had for the more impactful (costly) school, hospital, and EMS measures. I have 6 signatures without even leaving my neighborhood. EVERYONE I chat with knows about CCWD and so far the comments have all been along the lines of “I had no idea this was happening!”
Thank you Jeff and Jake for putting this together.
Jeff Tozzer, Jake Seegers, and the great folks in this community are on the right track here as always~! Clearly, we in this community have been warned many times by the very vile actions that the current clown show of commissioners has committed and no one is going to save us from these reprehensible fools who obviously refuse to act responsibly as OUR representatives. As great a job as Jeff Tozzer and the good folks are doing trying to figure out what these rogue commissioners are really up to, we MUST consider the fact that they are VERY likely committing FAR more foolish, self-serving, and even dangerous acts behind all of those closed-door meetings than we ever dreamed of~! The foolish would "assume" that they know what these commissioners are contemplating and conspiring to do, however, the wise who have learned from all of the similar previous cases of rogue governments that have been revealed know full well that there is ALWAYS far more going on in the shadows of these kinds of obvious abusers of the public trust~! Again, I am calling for the removal of the commissioners who have continually intentionally hidden their devious agenda/s, constantly deceived the public, violated the overwhelming public trust and public will, and given "The Finger" of distain to the entire community~! If not now, when will we remove these rogue commissioners? What will it take to awake the folks in our community to the clear and present danger that we already well know that these commissioners pose~? How many good people will have to leave our community or be harmed or even killed, before folks have enough of these disgusting evil dictators who have lied and cheated their way into our government~? I am willing to do more than my part to start the legal process of removing these rogue commissioners from their positions and I am sure that there are at least several others who know these fools now have to go, so "we" are just praying for the support of the good folks of Clallam County to remove the MOST serious problems in our government & community, so that we can work on repairing all of the damage that so many of them have already done~! There is nothing that the good folks of our community can't do, if we purge these kinds of bad actors from our government system everywhere~! Sincerely, Mike
Jake, thank you. I'm on this petition thing. You'll have my support when you run to replace one of the current commissioners :-) ... And thank you again, Jeff. What you've done, and continue to do, with CCWD, is more important than you may realize.
Hey I downloaded the petition and will carry it in my truck, but I threw it up on moveon.org. I posted it on my FB, but I also thought maybe we could post the link here for others to circulate... If that's OK with you? You wrote it so I thought I should ask!
Thanks, Kate! As long as we’re getting physical signatures from Clallam residents. I want to hand them the real thing that cannot be disputed. Not digital.
Nothing will change if politicians can continue to line their pockets with taxpayer dollars. Funneling money through NGOS where accountability becomes null and void is their meal ticket. No politician should be on any NGO board, it's a conflict of interest. Politicians gave up working for citizens long ago. Now they simply get rich by taxing the working class into poverty. When will they learn? When we as citizens cant afford to pay anymore or until the citizens are fed up and take matters into their own hands...
Oh how fun is this going to be……memories of days gone by….the road they tried to steal from the taxpayers……Towne Road ended up costing Clallam County a whole lot more=people lost jobs (created unemployment) hours were cut (created hardship for workers) & departments have been cut across the board (less services). Remember the Methadone clinic thousands did not want in downtown Sequim…..Jamestown Healing Clinic? How’s that working out? Seeing less homelessness, drugs, & crime? Not me I’m seeing more. How about the attempt to cancel firework celebrations because the nesting birds will get wet from the water sprayed on bushes for fire protection or the noise disrupts nesting eagles a mile away? NOW THIS an inconsequential $5 parcel fee every year for 5-10 years. $200,000 a year, every year. A lot of money that can be spent elsewhere for more serious needs. The CCD can’t properly manage their current budget and will still be in the red with the $5 fee because they can’t effectively manage their department.. We saw the numbers. If I was a Commissioner I’d seriously be concerned, Randy & Mike seriously that alone should have caused a “No” vote! This County enables irresponsibility on every level. What will it take to FORCE the kings running this county to listen to WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT? 3 Commissioners, the government organization creating their empire that serves a few, and 1 person showed up to support more fees and taxes and be damned what the desires of the residents want! It is past time to Practice what you preach Commissioners.
They are telling us what their agenda is...we just have to INTERPRET IT, as it is in 'weasel code' but is plain once you see it! When you know...YOU KNOW!
They are practicing their own agenda while gaslighting and lying to us.
They are reprehensible grey-collar criminals...they will become "mob bosses" if allowed to continue...'corruption is a run-away-train on a 20% grade!'
We don't have much time...we would bail, if a path was clear... but this corruption is going on everywhere at different rates in different jurisdictions...even conservative North Idaho is starting to feel the commie-squeeze!
Looks like we're going to have to fight...and damn the consequences, because eternal slavery is not a good look for MOST of us!😎
I want to add that my family resides on a little under 2.5 acres. We garden, we have chickens and ducks and we also occasionally raise cattle and pigs. We are a family that rely on these sources for food. We share the cost with one other young family.
You need to oppose the kommissars...this is just one small part of their communistic plan. It's bigger than another nuisance tax...they won't stop until we stop them.
I will gladly stand behind that as well. I'm heartbroken to ultimately have to leave this area. I know the back roads like the back of my hand. I've learned to swim in the lakes and caught fish from the rivers. I'm sad my freshly adult children cannot afford to stay here and I'm sad that my youngest will be unable to stay by her friends.
Show me where to sign and I will rally and do it for the clallam county that I love for as long a I can afford to stay here. But its looking bleak.
Ellen Menshew does not speak for us. We have never once used the conservation districts services to help with our farming and our gardens. We do it on our own.
Yeah, with the internet and 'real' community, we don't need all the overhead hanging over our heads!
It's a planned and predictable course they have us on!
I have looked all over Google Earth and (mostly) Zillow and there are only rarely affordable older properties available for a realistic amount...many of them very rural, which I like, but at our age logistics has to play into it.
The insane inflation in house properties is bad but the inflation in raw land is worse and finding small parcels in a decent climate is squeaky at best!
Wow, Jeff! Thank you for all of the flattering words…especially about my kids. I sincerely appreciate Clallam County Watchdog’s support in this effort to hold our commissioners accountable. You are a defender of those who feel that their voice has been stolen and I am proud to join that fight.
Thank you so much, Jeff, for this article! As Jake has distinctly commented, the Commissioners had already made up their minds. They did so with only the pro side presenting their argument for the parcel fee. Where is the con side? Cons could only be heard at the hearing. We were never invited to the table along with the pros. The Commissioners should have formally discussed the proposal AFTER both sides had spoken. Well, we have another opportunity to present the con side, thanks to Dr. Sarah and Jake. I appreciate your enthusiasm and determination for Clallam County to be heard. I'll be getting signatures for the petition!
Thank you @Jake and thank you @Jeff. May I ask if you need to be a registered voter to sign the petition? I know of some signatures who have not registered to vote yet, but I've been encouraging them to. If they need to be registered I will happily assist them before signing.
I BELIEVE I HEARD THEM SAY THEY WERE IN FAVOR OF ANYTHING TO DO WITH WATER, WHICH SEEMED TO ME A STATEM3NT ABOUT WHAT WAS COMING DOWN THE PIKE IN REGARDS TO THEIR COMING VOTE FOR CO WATER MANAGEMENT.
Yes, that was my thought, too. Another county department staffed with well paid employees. Where will they get the money? Who else will have to be fired to fund this new bureaucracy? Hopefully it's the Commissioners.
Change the hopes into reality...if enough of us visualize it along with the feeling of freedom that comes from unchaining ourselves, it IS possible!
I get hopeless everyday when I 'see' the scope of corruption all over the world.
It is what it is and "I 'yam what I 'yam", I'm 'Rob-eye', the conspiracy man!
And I know what I know!
And I Know, Who Has to GO!😎. It's Us or them!
Polarity is real...embrace it!
Even 'The Jesus' said he had come to bring a sword which would divide everyone...I believe it is a metaphorical 'sword-of-truth' and it makes perfect sense that it has a polarizing effect...the insane commies will never see anything but 'their narrative'...endless gov't, endless perversion, endless DNA/transhuman 'progress' and 'anything goes' cultures...all in the name of goodness for goodness sake, all unsustainable while being packaged as sustainability!😎
We also need to restrain our endless consumption of everything as unrestrained population and capitalism is disastrous as well...maybe we need another great flood!
"Hope I die 'afore I get old"! "Talkin' 'bout my generation!"😎

Hey y’all on the WestEnd I have a printed petition if anyone wants to meet up and collect signatures please let me know! I will be at the spartan stadium in Forks at my kiddos Cheer (football) game starting around 3:30 pm and I will bring the petition.
Thanks again Jeff and Jake. We as well like this approach to get signatures to show the elected commission what we would like to see as a majority. (Caveat, we could not attend as I was in Surgery for a ruptured Tricep Tendon). I will consider this my homework to gather signatures while I heal the left side. Enjoy and stay safe friends.
I'm kinda new here in Sequim Don't know any people to sign a petition I generate. And by reading nextdoor posts, there are way too many uninformed or liberals living here. In fact the posts read like a toxic hellhole of hate thy neighbor. Don't want doors slammed in my face. If someone sets up a table for signatures at a business in Sequim, hubby and I will sign.
This is the kind if organization I wish we’d had for the more impactful (costly) school, hospital, and EMS measures. I have 6 signatures without even leaving my neighborhood.

Thank you, Robert! Let’s give the commissioners a number they can’t ignore.
Hey I downloaded the petition and will carry it in my truck, but I threw it up on moveon.org. I posted it on my FB, but I also thought maybe we could post the link here for others to circulate... If that's OK with you? You wrote it so I thought I should ask!
Thanks, Kate! As long as we’re getting physical signatures from Clallam residents. I want to hand them the real thing that cannot be disputed. Not digital.
Gosh I actually didn't think about that. I'll make sure I have your paper with me too 👍🏻

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Own hands...waiting for bankruptcy is not the best option...
Root-hog-or-die!😇
Thank you @Jeff Tozzer and @Jake Seegers!
This is a great approach! I'll get to work collecting signatures in my neighborhood.
Thanks, Philip! I’ll watching the mailbox(:

North Idaho needs to stay conservative. Thats where my family and I are headed because WA State is forcing out a skilled tradesman.
I want to add that my family resides on a little under 2.5 acres. We garden, we have chickens and ducks and we also occasionally raise cattle and pigs. We are a family that rely on these sources for food. We share the cost with one other young family.
We are the ones "tightening our belts"!
We oppose this fee!

Wow, Jeff! Thank you for all of the flattering words…especially about my kids. I sincerely appreciate Clallam County Watchdog’s support in this effort to hold our commissioners accountable. You are a defender of those who feel that their voice has been stolen and I am proud to join that fight.
We love seeing your children! What a great lesson to see their Dad stand up for his beliefs.
Awww. Thank you, Sarah!
Fight for the Kids!😎
Thank you Jake. for this petition.
It is easy to take action when we have citizen leaders like you as examples, Eric. I bet you can get 99 signatures by yourself!
I'll try.
Me and Eric can fabricate a few hundred all by ourselves...just like the kommissars' backers did!🤣
Real signatures only.
Might get more sans diapers?😎
Only with diapers on.
😊

No, it might be different if we were collecting signatures for an official referendum on the state level. Good question, but anyone can sign this.
Thank you for the quick reply. I will get to work. Watch your mailbox Jake!
Will do, SC! Thank you!

Yes, heal up! That sounds terrible, and thank you for the help.
Thanks, Skully! I appreciate your support on this effort. You’ll be back in the gym in no time, I’m sure!
Jacob could be our benevolent King and Jeff could be the Queen!🫅😂🤣
I think the Jester would have a diaper on his head.
I miss meetings all the time due to a ruptured hope-bubble, so I understand!😊

Reality can be (is usually) harsh! Welcome to 'communist clown county'!😊
Carol, we will have a drive-by signing, likely in Sequim, that Jeff will announce.
