In the private sector, forgetting or declining to bill customers for millions of dollars in services would result in immediate termination. Yet for three consecutive years, county commissioners and the finance team have warned of multi-million-dollar annual deficits and claimed the county is broke. In reality, proper management and enforcement of existing contracts would have balanced the budget every year.

This is not a minor oversight—it is a systemic failure with significant financial consequences. The magnitude of this failure cannot be overstated.

Maybe less time spent on boards of NGO's and Non-profits, and more time taking care of our business?

How did CCSO (sheriff's Office) receive state accreditation over the last decade with this type of budgeting affecting both road deputy's and corrections funding. Its fantasy Island there at County Clallam Government. Da Plane! Da Plane! Glad handing playing their part on fantasy Island. Retirees from other places they screwed up come to Clallam County get a spot like they use to have, but this time as drawing a fat pension on top of being paid to play in Clallam.

Eggs Benedict comes to mind and his marry band of nitwits be brought aboard during his tenure.

The commissioners should be happy that CCWD has such engaged subscribers. Ordinary citizens doing the work that the commissioners should be doing and getting paid for not doing. This is beyond ridiculous.

County Commissioners have done a fantastic job in increasing the number of people that use the food banks in Sequim and PA.
