@JeffTozzer, connecting your time above the clouds in 2001 to a quiet walk on a Clallam River trail perfectly captures why we do this: trust is precious, and this county is worth defending.

To the skeptics reading this: keep your skepticism, but aim it in both directions. I’ve directly challenged our local agencies to step into the public square, fill in the blanks, or correct the record if they feel context is missing from these articles. Their response is always silence.

When the government hides, they forfeit the narrative. There’s a reason Washington’s transparency rules are called 'Sunshine Laws'—sunshine is the best disinfectant. Until our local agencies choose to step into the light and answer to the public, we have to rely on the facts we can verify. By consistently bringing the receipts and primary documents, CC Watchdog provides that sunlight.

Washington law is clear: the people do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies that serve them. Local government is an instrument built for us, and this platform reminds us we still have the power to steer it.

Politics impacts policy, policy impacts people. Vote in public servants, not politicians, to impact politics. Rinse and repeat.

Thanks for holding the line.

Very nice article Jeff.

I didn't know about ccwd until the cc fair in 2025 and I'm very great full for meeting you then and what I have discovered through your hard work.

Thank you very much.

I didn’t have a 9/11 awakening, but rather a ‘Jimothy’ moment when I first stumbled onto CCWD. I’m cheap and don’t like to pay for news, so I go on line looking for news. I started following Jeff’s articles at the beginning of his Towne Rd series. As I followed the articles it was like seeing the first picture of Jimothy running across the road, it didn’t look right.

Towne Road? Where was it? Why did it matter? But reading on it clearly pointed to something out of whack that deserved a second glance. The second glance was my awakening that some people running Clallam County can be covert. Their motives needed scrutiny, so CCWD gave me, and still is giving scrutiny. Thank you Jeff for the tremendous amount of work you have done for Clallam County and explaining why 'Jimothy' is out of whack!

Jeff, I didn’t realize that your first post was actually on Sept 11. Nor did I realize it was your first letter to the Commissioners (to be ignored). Nor did I realize that you had so few subscribers but now over 4,000 in a short 3 years. The one lone reply you had with your 2023 article has grown to become many voices. I don’t know how many followers you have but I imagine it is quite a few. WOW. Happy Anniversary ; )

Letter to Commissioners

September 11th, 2023 Jeff Tozzer Submitted in favor of reopening Towne Road

Dear Clallam County Commissioners:

I am urging you to reopen the north end of Towne Road to vehicle traffic so it can once again connect Dungeness to Sequim, as it has for over 80 years.  The commissioners’ messaging has consistantly been that this vital link would reopen upon completion of the levee realignment.

A very fine heartfelt article, Patriot Jeff Tozzer~!

You have a great Spirit and a knack for the written word that few possess. All REAL Americans who were alive on 9/11/2001 share the same tragic experience, but I had no idea that you were that close to the situation. On that horrible day I was running a small Internet press release business, so I had the extraordinary ability to monitor the first media reports, which were very different than the later version of the so-called "news". I immediately knew that "we" (Americans) were definitely NOT being told the truth about that very sad 9/11, however I do appreciate your confirmation of the loss of planes and the folks on them because that helps to further clarify things. I know that wherever the evidence ultimately leads us, that was a terrible day when a great many Americans were jolted awake. I can't help but find it deeply disturbing that both of "your" unpleasant 9/11 experiences, were rooted in the corrupt governmental system in the US, however, regardless of the challenges that are ahead of us, there is hope when good folks come together to make positive changes~! I very much agree that our efforts today are not just for us but are also for the future generations who "we" (American Patriots) owe a duty to provide with the best possible opportunity of having a good & prosperous life~! Have a great and peaceful day my friend~!

Sincerely, Mike

Jeff a very emotional article today. I think we all have a different perspective on life after 9/11. America United on that day like I have never seen before with resolve and compassion. There was no R or D behind response it was America. Oh how I wish we could somehow be at that point in our world today. Your passion is a strive to obtain that feeling. Today I pray that all comments with respect will honor that heartfelt resolve on CCWD. Yes we have to keep going and Jeff thanks for the emotional reminder.
