The commissioners did not reply to yesterday's question asking if they would consider pushing for more transparency and accountability from the Sequim School District. Here is today's email to the commissioners:

Dear Commissioners,

The County emphasizes protecting some watersheds through strict water quality programs, yet Tumwater Creek—despite millions in salmon restoration—remains impacted by human waste, garbage, and debris.

Much of this appears tied to activity surrounding the County’s Harm Reduction Health Center.

Why is water quality enforced in some areas but not in others like Tumwater Creek, and who is accountable for that disparity?

As he/she walked onto the construction site they located the foreman. ‘ I don’t know how to use a level, square, or those other things I see around here, but I have had three courses in Kallam language. I am sure that in itself will allow me to do a good job for you’. These educators basically have no common sense. Those that do are probably shut done.

It would be refreshing if fed govt would wise up to tribal con artist that keep begging for millions of taxpayer $$$.Tribes keep using natural resource issues to try and get pity for their bogus issues. Tribes claim they are good stewards of the lands by gillnetting fish stocks into extinction then beg for govt $$$ for fish stock restoration projects that have very little to no positive results.Then use free govt $$$ to build drug dispensaries,gambling casino's then want to get paid for rehab facilities to help cure addicts from their enterprises.Some tribes get mass millions of free tax $$$ with no accountability,they just keep the con game going by simply asking for more $$$.Fed govt should be doing financial investigations before handing out hard earned $$$ out to freeloaders.There seems to be a very big difference of opinion what 'good stewards of the lands' means.Then you hear tribal comments like 'white people are the problem' i agree fed govt has created a very large number of begging monsters that cannot get enough free $$$ to satisfy it's appetite always hungry for more.

The underlying theme here is that Clallam County is seriously mismanaged and sold out to the Tribe and leftist special interests. For any of us mere mortals, when our money runs out before the month is over, we find ways to cut back. The 3 blind rats running Clallam county (as well as those running the state), do not understand this simple fundamental fact. CUT BACK SPENDING; don't squeeze taxpayers for more. Hello? It's common sense.

BUT, are our leaders lacking in common sense? No, they are devious and the incessant increases in our taxes likely go directly into their Swiss or Cayman Island bank accounts. THAT is why more money is needed. If it costs X to run the government and they collect X+Y from taxpayers, the Y disappears into their pockets. And their friends' pockets. And the more legitimate expenditures they have, the more there is in the pool to siphon off.

However, when people wise up and say "No more increases", the greedy pukes still keep increasing their pocket money, stealing it from the services needed, like law enforcement, jails, cleanup of creeks, and all the other jobs they're SUPPOSED TO do. The trajectory is that we are approaching a time when the politicians take ALL the tax money for themselves, and volunteers will be running the government.

To Dutchtown Spirit: Because a person has another view than hers he is a bad person. As to her take on the library spending she doesn’t have a clue as I have seen their lavish tastes. I sure wouldn’t want her balancing my checkbook let alone exposing her gestapo type tactics on my children or yours. She and her followers need a sign in their yard! I am STUPID! Ha Ha

Keep asking the question: Why are the tribes silent on homeless contamination of the creeks and soils of their "ancestral land?"

Headline from last week:

“ Salmon exposed to cocaine swim almost twice as far as those without, study shows”

Is this part of the salmon recovery plan for Tumwater Creek?

Cultural education has value but not when it’s used to indoctrinate. Cutting them over classes that people can use to make a living is just common sense.

But the net result will be no different whether they call themselves protectors or protesters, they will still be protesters
