The Board of Clallam County Commissioners will hold a hearing today that could lock taxpayers into a parcel fee that generates $200,000 for the Clallam Conservation District.
IMO today’s meeting will be a defining point of whether the County Commissioners are willing to work with the citizens. If not, I’m convinced that the Commissioners are hell bent on Clallam County’s going bankrupt and causing the same for its taxpaying citizens under personal gains of some kind.
I never have been a conspiracy theorist, but it very hard to not turn in that direction.
No conspiracy just look around there are no high paying jobs here except working for government .Commissioners get more people on gov payroll.means a guaranteed vote for them come election time.Of course eventually the system if not already collapses under its own weight .
It's clear that some of the Commissioners are just simply doing empire building and grabbing power & influence. They absolutely do not apply common sense to small county government and management! They try to apply big/liberal wasteful government principles and practices. In my opinion, Ozias, French and Johnson are unethical and out for nothing but personal gain!
Philip Bates I hope you are correct because an individual motivated by personal gain is more interested in reason than the same individual if he/she is a hysterical ideologue. Eventually most of our country will be dependent upon government scraps.
Thank you, Jeff, for getting the word out for today's hearing on the CCD's $5.00 parcel fee proposal. I'm speaking at the meeting and submitting a letter. This money grab with indifference to harm the taxpayer has to stop. See you soon.
Well, Jennifer, it was a very frustrating and a very encouraging hearing. The three commissioners are determined to "save" the CCD. But the issue was not about its dissolution, it's about the fee proposal to be added to our property taxes. So the 3 hamsters (always on that hamster wheel of begging for more taxes) have decided to add/clarify/revise language in the resolution to review and vote on at another meeting. The meeting was long due to a 30 minute presentation by CCD employees and many public commenters, which the huge majority were against the resolution. We have to stay vigilant and persistent. Keep up your comments and sharing your information because it is very helpful, as a few commenters used your cited info from CCWD. Thank you for all of your help and spunk!
Yes, the ones who are "pro" parcel fee spoke at the end of the hearing. I, too, was happy to see so many at the meeting and giving testimony. So encouraging!
Denise, thank you for the meeting update, I was so worried, but your "and a very encouraging hearing" allowed me to put my sugar free kool-aid back in the drawer. All I needed to read was the word 'encouraging' and I'm pumped up with vigilance and persistence.
Jennifer here is my today perspective…I would watch the video first of all. Out of 20 speakers 2 spoke for “YES” need $5 increase to support water quality, etc. There are like 36+ thousand property owners which will bring in approximately $195K each every year for 10 years. The CCD is in the red now as you will see if you watch the video. They are not managing what they receive now. They can’t even budget what they get now and want more money to piss away on water quality, pasture help, soil testing, etc. Most of the Clallam County taxpayers do not benefit from all the things they said they do and came up with at today’s meeting. Why should all of us pay for a few who need or want soil testing, garden help and pasture advice? They should pay as they go if they want these services like the rest of us have to do. Instead Randy Johnson believes it is so beneficial, Mark Ozias quotes from the County Vision and Mission Statement cherry picking what best describes his agenda to pass this $5 tax. French says he’s owned a business and the objective was to run in the green and not the red but oh well, really no clear explanation as to why they are underwater. Even with the $5 tax the CCD will still be in the red according to the facts presented by the CCD today?????? basically Randy Johnson is not spending his money he’s spending our money. Speakers proposed how to cut costs within the CCD but the 3 amigos didn’t care, didn’t insist the CCD justify why they can’t budget on yearly grant money and yearly County money to stay afloat! It was sickening. Instead the BOCC were only concerned the amendment/proposal state a time frame of less than 10 years possibly, a sunset clause and some other stupid notion to justify they even cared at all what the public wants or cares about!
4 reas dev I would watch the video but I can't get sound. Makes it boring. Can't read the written words, it's set up in a weird way and goes by too fast. Makes me dizzy.
Thank you for your perspective and insightful questions, it gives people a more well rounded view of things. I know many readers will appreciate this if they aren't able to hear or read zoom ; )
That picture of the fella and the “face plant” in front of Health and Human Services just about sums up Clallam County and the results of politician spending our hard earned taxes.
Some day, I hope to see a positive story of Clallam County in this forum.
Unfortunately, because there is so much duplicity with certain gov't officials, there won't be a positive story for a long time. We've only been aware of how bad things are for the last two years. It will be a few more years before the ugly messes will be cleaned up and thrown into the burn pile.
The radicals do not have any intention of cleaning up any of their messes,they expect others to clean up their messes that is why they need to be voted out asap.
I don't agree with Hegel's philosophy but most modern problems are the result of John Locke's theory of "The Blank Slate" on which experience writes. The "Blank Slate" must first possess the ability to assimilate data. Experience is not necessary. Once again DNA rules
It should be a requirement that elected officials must not be affiliated with any outside NGO or other non-profit organization in any way, shape or form. If they have had past official affiliations, they should ALWAYS recuse themselves from decisions in which these organizations are involved or impacted. This is only way to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest and restore the public's confidence in an impartial governing body that has the best interests of the citizenry at heart. Why is this even a matter for discussion???
absolutely, I've long been a critic of nonprofits seeking out the newly elected as an "honor" (which it isn't). The newbs have no idea what the responsibilities of sitting on a board require. And, it's always in conflict with the oaths of office.
Worse today! By far! So many showed up and were slapped in the face. Not only did the Commissioners care less how these government organizations are operating because the facts today by the CCD were so clear. The facts supported the incompetency of the CCD and these incompetent Commissioners ignored the fact that the CCD is not managing their finances because they don’t have to really, it’s free money, as quoted by their President. Free to them it’s not free to the tax payer!
Whether metaphorical or literal it is criminal how the veil of charity, equality and environmentalism is used to accomplish nefarious goals. On the Federal level USAID, OMWBE, BLM, DEI, PBS/VOA and others are examples. NGO's have not only perfected how to manipulate our elected representatives, but they succeed in obtaining taxpayer dollars without taxpayer votes. Taxation without representation ? In most instances the money comes from preying upon the naivety of the well intended. In some instances it is those behind the nefarious goals that are major donors. The way to prevent this is personal vetting of the organizations one donates too and most importantly vetting the individual you vote for is not for sale.
I’ve listened the last two years along with others & it’s a tough pill to swallow every week! No improvement either which is unbelievable after all the speakers and letters each week. I guess the BOCC must be getting secret communications encouraging drug use, homelessness, more taxes, increase crime, and constant handouts of our hard earned tax dollars! This is what happens when those elected care only about their money donors and political stature……🤮
We didn't get much of a win. They will still vote this in next week.he bright spot is that they will be asking for language that specifies a ten year sunset clause, no increase in the fee amount, and yearly performance matrix. We need to be vigil and insist on real transparency on these yearly reviews. Wish we could have done better.
Oh brother.... (sigh). Diaper awareness proclamation? Seriously? We need to be rid of these clowns. And.... Looking from a different perspective they should have had a consult from the DEI official that P.A. hired because they totally blew it (no pun intended) addressing the need of the aged incontinent that require adult diapers. Serious EQUITY violation in my humble opinion.
Commissioners Mark Ozias and Randy Johnson were in attendance at the Clallam Conservation District (CCD) meeting when the question of future rate increases to the $5.00 per parcel fee was raised. The CCD chair stated that the fee could not be raised for ten years. Section (b) of HB 1488 says differently.
(b) Beginning March 1, 2029, and by March 1st every third year thereafter, the department of revenue must adjust the maximum annual per parcel rates based on the consumer price index for all urban consumers, all items, for the Seattle metropolitan area for the prior12-month period as calculated by the United States bureau of labor statistics or its successor agency. The adjusted maximum annual per parcel rates must be rounded to the nearest $1. If the adjustment to the maximum annual per parcel rate is negative, the maximum annual per parcel rate for the prior year continues to apply. The department of revenue must publish the adjusted maximum annual per parcel rates on its public website by March 31st. For purposes of this subsection(3)(b), "Seattle metropolitan area" means the geographic area sample that includes Seattle and surrounding areas.
Aaron Fisher = When the golden parachute EPICLY fails the rest of humanity. The fact that the PDN (once they finally did the story - Thank you Jeff) did a complete hit piece on Richard Madeo portraying him as the aggressor and Aaron only doing self defense is completely sickening.
Uh, “Kevin LoPiccolo, Health and Human Services Director?” What happened to Witchy Poo? Did I miss something, or does she just have another title? If she’s gone, good riddance, and I’ll pray for her new victims. If she’s still here, why do we need so much “top” management?
Not to give these local tax bandits any breaks. I'm betting the assault on our pockets is being mandated from Olympia. Inslee handed the torch off to Fergusen. Rape and pillage in the name of climate change, DEI, and now water control. They are out of control. But once they get their claws on our money they spend it on whatever they want. There is zero accountability. The amount of money they have paid out to their ngo buddies for supporting the illegal invasion we had over the last 4 years will never be known. And with Trump shutting the door on HUD for illegals its gonna get worse. Sure hope ICE makes its way out to the penninsula. Because I know those scheming pricks in Olymipia have been bussing them out here. Plenty of places to hide them. And the drug addicts problem helps provide cover and a money stream.
Lloyd, it confounds me that Washington is upholding itself as a sanctuary state. At what cost? Seattle is rotting from within. Poverty, unemployment and crime abounds. To take on the added burden of housing, feeding, lawyer representation, medical care etc etc for illegal aliens does not compute in the face of paying for the legal citizens who are suffering.
Are we selfish to ask to be #1 on the list to be helped? Do we have to wait to be homeless to deserve help? Will we not get a break from having to pay for people who came to this country illegally. Do we need to stand on freeway exits with cardboard in hand to be heard?
Sanctuary states (zones) are a NWO agenda to weaken, disrupt and overtake local gov'ts...They create such a hell that 'bigger' gov't has to be installed and expanded to 'solve' the problem, which of course, never gets solved.😎
It confounds me that these sheep in Washington cant see the big picture. Id like to think if in person voting with paper ballots and ID became mandatory we might see a change. But there is so much outside influence. There is laws to not bring in apple maggots to this state. Need one to not bring in liberal maggots.
Lloyd, the last mail in ballot, my son (who lives in Sequim) got the Clallam County Official Local VOTERS' PAMPHLET for the August 5, 2025 Primary. That was great, he never got his ballot. Was it stolen from his mailbox? Never mailed but used? It had to have been generated. He was wondering who he voted for.
No, he did not go in to personally vote, I put him in time out to think about it. : )
Lloyd, thank you for this web site. Apparently he wasn't registered to vote! It has been taken care of thanks to you ; ) He thought he was registered to vote because of having a drivers license. Mucho appreciated.
REGARDING RELOCATING JAMESTOWN RESIDENTS - TODD MILKE ADVISED THE BOCC AND ATTENDESS OF THE SAYING BUYER BEWARE THEN RECOMMENDED ALL BEACH FRONT BE ANALYZED. PRESTO A GRANT WAS APPROVED BY THE BOCC THE NEXT MONTH TO PERFORM A BATHYMETRIC LIDAR SURVEY FROM CAPE FLATTERY TO ADMIRALTY INLET, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE JAMESTOWN KLALLAM BAND AND WASHINGTON SEA GRANT. (ANOTHER NGO?)
RE SEA GRANT - WHY DOES A BEACH SIDE RESIDENT WANT ANOTHER PICTURE OF A PREDATOR ORCA ON THEIR GLOSSY INVITATION. BETTER WOULD BE SOME OF THAT EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL THEY WILL ONLY DISCLOSE IF YOU ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO LET THEM ON YOUR PROPERTY AND DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES WHAT YOU NEED.
RE NGO AFFILIATION - THE CRV WATER COMMITTEE ADMITTED IT WAS THE DUNGENESS RIVER MANAGEMENT TEAM THAT INFLUENCED THEIR DRIVE TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT FOR COUNTY WATER MANAGEMENT. WHEN THE COMMITTE COULD NOT GARNER ENOUGH APPROVAL FOR A PUBLIC VOTE, THEY AGREED TO SEND IT ON TO THE BOCC FOR APPROVAL. OZIAS IS AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE DRMT. HE AND JOHNSON OWN LAND IN THE AFFECTED AREA. OZIAS REPORTED TO THE PUD LAST YEAR HE HAD BEEN OFFERED A GRANT FROM THE OFFICE OF DRINKING WATER TO ANALYZE DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSOLIDATING PRIVATE WELLS AND SYSTEMS UNDER A SINGLE ENTITY, COUNTY.
RE SEABROOK - LAST WEEK THE BOCC APPLAUDED AN AGREEMENT WITH FLAURAS ACRES, A COMMUNITY OWNED WATER SYSTEM WITH LOTS OF WATER. FRIEND TOLD ME DAYS LATER SEABROOK WAS APPROVED. WHETHER THIS IS TRUE OR CONNECTED I DO NOT KNOW BUT.....GET YOUR PERMITS NOW SEQUIMITES BEFORE IT TOO IS FULLY ALLOCATED. THE CLIMATE REFUGEES WILL BE COMING FOR THEIR VACATIONS IN THOSE SHORT TERM RENTALS.
RE BROADBAND - PUD STAFF ADVISED THE BOCC AGAINST THE EXTRAORDINARY TIME, LABOR AND COST FOR A TECHNOLOGY THAT IS LIKELY TO CHANGE.
RE DIAPERS - YES, DISPOSABLES ARE DISGUSTING. THE NEEDLE EXCHANGE WORKED SO WELL, HOW ABOUT A DIAPER EXCHANGE?!! SURELY ONE OF THE MANY NGOS THE BOCC BELONG TO WOULD SUPPORT IT.
RE DISHWASHERS - BY THE TIME THE WASHER IS FULL THE DISHES WILL HAVE TO BE HAND SCRUBBED. PIZZA DOESN'T REQUIRE DISHES.
RE UPCOMING CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE MAROLEE SMITH-DVORAK -VOTE YES
RE CONSERAVTION DISTRICT TAX - GET A FREE COST ANALYSIS, VOTE NO.
NoZias in charge of our 'consolidated' private wells?! There's an Or-well-ian vision!
People think the kommissars will listen to reason and choose in favor of common sense.
That is cognitive dissonance!
If we plead with them, we are their subjects! We need to speak plain, clear and with command, not asking or hoping for them to do the will of the people.
They are NOT our RULERS, but that is exactly how they are behaving...they are to be managers of the common good but they are 'infiltraitors' and power mongers for the NWO. Bush senior said he thought 'they' had a real shot at this New World Order 'thing'
Don't let any 'fact checkers' tell you it's a conspiracy theory...It's a conspiracy fact!
By their fruits ye shall know them!
The socialist way is to drag everyone down to a lower common denominator while the parasitical ruling class lives Large!
One big problem with the board commissioners is their affiliation with all the different types of groups,commissions,organizations ect.This appears to be an attempt to get support from the community for their decisions and for re election terms.The problem is they are not obeying their oaths making 'ALL their decision making for the better.They seem to be catering to these private groups & tribes that are probably tied to high end state elected that try and build more support for their radical agendas by initiating as many types of groups as possible.Now try and find some sort of oversight for these groups probably none.Groups probably get on their knees and wait for their next command.Building new housing and housing these drug addicts and derelicts that do not work is a disaster that will lead to high taxes and crime and i think this is in the works which needs to be terminated asap.Look what happened at the old aggies hotel that was supported by this insane idea,drug dealing and all sorts of crime and the building was damaged beyond reasonable repair as of today.But current board commissioners have shown support for new luxury housing apartments costing $ 4 million to start which will increase.Have these dumb jackasses learned nothing from ignorant inslee who put wa state $ 5 billion in the red from supporting illegals & drug addicts and now they want to follow suit like complete ignorant libtards.
All these 'special interest' groups are like octopi grasping, grasping, squeezing, squeezing, probing, probing, consuming, consuming...time and resources...for what?
Where is there any measurable proof that these 'groups' are accomplishing anything worthwhile? Some probably do and they should receive some public support, but there is, again...NO ACCOUNTABILITY!
Time for accountability and follow through...what is so hard about that?
Narcissism and entitlement kind of get in the way of it, I guess!😊
Jeff, what you do for this County and it's citizens is nothing short astounding. I'm forever grateful. You and Jake make a dynamic duo 😁🙌🏻
I will be at the meeting today via zoom and I've submitted a letter, as well. Our County is dying a death by a thousand cuts....
I appreciate that, Kate. Thank you for your level of engagement. We are all lucky Jake is among our ranks.
URGENT: Public Hearing on Parcel Fee – TODAY
Tuesday, September 2, 2025 – 10:30 a.m.
The Board of Clallam County Commissioners will hold a hearing today that could lock taxpayers into a parcel fee that generates $200,000 for the Clallam Conservation District.
IMO today’s meeting will be a defining point of whether the County Commissioners are willing to work with the citizens. If not, I’m convinced that the Commissioners are hell bent on Clallam County’s going bankrupt and causing the same for its taxpaying citizens under personal gains of some kind.
I never have been a conspiracy theorist, but it very hard to not turn in that direction.
No conspiracy just look around there are no high paying jobs here except working for government .Commissioners get more people on gov payroll.means a guaranteed vote for them come election time.Of course eventually the system if not already collapses under its own weight .
Hopefully sooner, so we can get on with our lives!😎
Thanks @Jeff Tozzer!
It's clear that some of the Commissioners are just simply doing empire building and grabbing power & influence. They absolutely do not apply common sense to small county government and management! They try to apply big/liberal wasteful government principles and practices. In my opinion, Ozias, French and Johnson are unethical and out for nothing but personal gain!
Philip Bates I hope you are correct because an individual motivated by personal gain is more interested in reason than the same individual if he/she is a hysterical ideologue. Eventually most of our country will be dependent upon government scraps.
Too True!😊
Thank you, Jeff, for getting the word out for today's hearing on the CCD's $5.00 parcel fee proposal. I'm speaking at the meeting and submitting a letter. This money grab with indifference to harm the taxpayer has to stop. See you soon.
Denise, I don't have access to zoom, but if it wouldn't be too much to ask, I would love to hear your thoughts on the conclusion of today's hearing.
Well, Jennifer, it was a very frustrating and a very encouraging hearing. The three commissioners are determined to "save" the CCD. But the issue was not about its dissolution, it's about the fee proposal to be added to our property taxes. So the 3 hamsters (always on that hamster wheel of begging for more taxes) have decided to add/clarify/revise language in the resolution to review and vote on at another meeting. The meeting was long due to a 30 minute presentation by CCD employees and many public commenters, which the huge majority were against the resolution. We have to stay vigilant and persistent. Keep up your comments and sharing your information because it is very helpful, as a few commenters used your cited info from CCWD. Thank you for all of your help and spunk!
I see they already have their minds made up.
They entertain us for display.
I would accuse them of being some of the finest money grubbers around.
All insults aside..
-don’t let them waist “YOUR” time.
Today was an amazing turn out. 💥😀
Many on-line and in-house attendees were opposed.
The actors gingerly came in last minute.
It seems a Ping-Pong game has been presented.
They think they can outsmart us.
Not if we dig, and we don’t have to dig far.
Lets do homework.
😎
Yes, the ones who are "pro" parcel fee spoke at the end of the hearing. I, too, was happy to see so many at the meeting and giving testimony. So encouraging!
Denise, thank you for the meeting update, I was so worried, but your "and a very encouraging hearing" allowed me to put my sugar free kool-aid back in the drawer. All I needed to read was the word 'encouraging' and I'm pumped up with vigilance and persistence.
Thank you again!
Anytime, Jennifer.

YEP!😱
You can always write…..just a suggestion.
4RD Write what?
write a letter to the commissioners…
email them directly.
it should show up on record.
😊

Their 'messes' are Hegelian in nature...create a problem, get a reaction, provide the solution...more gov't...more taxes...more international control!
It's a formula! And they are getting away with it!😱
Why did you mention Hegel?
My favorite philosopher A. Schopenhauer hated Hegel. The reason was because Hegel filled more seats in the classroom.
I don't agree with Hegel's philosophy but most modern problems are the result of John Locke's theory of "The Blank Slate" on which experience writes. The "Blank Slate" must first possess the ability to assimilate data. Experience is not necessary. Once again DNA rules

Mimi, you have my vote!
aww, thank you Jennifer.
Mimi, sometimes you are the only one who uses common sense backed up by facts and personal encounters.
Corruption runs deep and wide!🤓
Worse today! By far! So many showed up and were slapped in the face. Not only did the Commissioners care less how these government organizations are operating because the facts today by the CCD were so clear. The facts supported the incompetency of the CCD and these incompetent Commissioners ignored the fact that the CCD is not managing their finances because they don’t have to really, it’s free money, as quoted by their President.

Let's see how our commissioners vote for truth and transiency today.
Eric, are you a betting man? I'll make a wager on that one. I would love to hear how the commissioners justify it.
I’ve listened the last two years along with others & it’s a tough pill to swallow every week! No improvement either which is unbelievable after all the speakers and letters each week. I guess the BOCC must be getting secret communications encouraging drug use, homelessness, more taxes, increase crime, and constant handouts of our hard earned tax dollars! This is what happens when those elected care only about their money donors and political stature……🤮
Eric, GratefullyI lost my wager. Can I double down for next time?
We didn't get much of a win. They will still vote this in next week.he bright spot is that they will be asking for language that specifies a ten year sunset clause, no increase in the fee amount, and yearly performance matrix. We need to be vigil and insist on real transparency on these yearly reviews. Wish we could have done better.
I think their Lobby Loving Agenda cares less what we think.
See you guys today!
Pray for open ears & swallowed pride.
💥😊🇺🇸
Nice to see you with your family!
You are too kind to the kommissars!😁
kill em’ with kindness…
🤓👍🏼
Oh brother.... (sigh). Diaper awareness proclamation? Seriously? We need to be rid of these clowns. And.... Looking from a different perspective they should have had a consult from the DEI official that P.A. hired because they totally blew it (no pun intended) addressing the need of the aged incontinent that require adult diapers. Serious EQUITY violation in my humble opinion.
Lawrence, who the most do you think needs the diapers?
(1) The Commissioners
(2) The citizens hearing the latest Commissioners decisions
(3) Babies
Excellent question. Might be worthy of Jeff’s upcoming survey.
Commissioners Mark Ozias and Randy Johnson were in attendance at the Clallam Conservation District (CCD) meeting when the question of future rate increases to the $5.00 per parcel fee was raised. The CCD chair stated that the fee could not be raised for ten years. Section (b) of HB 1488 says differently.

The adjusted maximum annual per parcel rates must be rounded to the nearest $1. If the adjustment to the maximum annual per parcel rate is negative, the maximum annual per parcel rate for the prior year continues to apply. The department of revenue must publish the adjusted maximum annual per parcel rates on its public website by March 31st. For purposes of this subsection(3)(b), "Seattle metropolitan area" means the geographic area sample that includes Seattle and surrounding areas.
Just another circle jerk of lies we’re told weekly. Thanks Eric for setting the record straight! We need more honest people on the BOCC!
You mean they are lying weasels...again?😎
Aaron Fisher = When the golden parachute EPICLY fails the rest of humanity. The fact that the PDN (once they finally did the story - Thank you Jeff) did a complete hit piece on Richard Madeo portraying him as the aggressor and Aaron only doing self defense is completely sickening.
Our Kommissars are the greatest risk to our pocket books AND environment. Truly clueless self-serving...
Uh, “Kevin LoPiccolo, Health and Human Services Director?” What happened to Witchy Poo? Did I miss something, or does she just have another title? If she’s gone, good riddance, and I’ll pray for her new victims. If she’s still here, why do we need so much “top” management?

Yes, I completely agree with you, bring ICE here.

No, he did not go in to personally vote, I put him in time out to think about it. : )
I Would definately check to see. https://voter.votewa.gov/portal2023/login.aspx
Lloyd, thank you for this web site. Apparently he wasn't registered to vote! It has been taken care of thanks to you ; ) He thought he was registered to vote because of having a drivers license. Mucho appreciated.
Ubetcha. Hmm. I guess they only automaticly register foriegners and fellons?
Lloyd, we now have an added voter thanks to you. Jeff's site IS an educational tool.
They register illegals when they give them their fraudulent licenses...wonder why they skipped his?😱
REGARDING RELOCATING JAMESTOWN RESIDENTS - TODD MILKE ADVISED THE BOCC AND ATTENDESS OF THE SAYING BUYER BEWARE THEN RECOMMENDED ALL BEACH FRONT BE ANALYZED. PRESTO A GRANT WAS APPROVED BY THE BOCC THE NEXT MONTH TO PERFORM A BATHYMETRIC LIDAR SURVEY FROM CAPE FLATTERY TO ADMIRALTY INLET, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE JAMESTOWN KLALLAM BAND AND WASHINGTON SEA GRANT. (ANOTHER NGO?)
RE SEA GRANT - WHY DOES A BEACH SIDE RESIDENT WANT ANOTHER PICTURE OF A PREDATOR ORCA ON THEIR GLOSSY INVITATION. BETTER WOULD BE SOME OF THAT EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL THEY WILL ONLY DISCLOSE IF YOU ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO LET THEM ON YOUR PROPERTY AND DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES WHAT YOU NEED.
RE NGO AFFILIATION - THE CRV WATER COMMITTEE ADMITTED IT WAS THE DUNGENESS RIVER MANAGEMENT TEAM THAT INFLUENCED THEIR DRIVE TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT FOR COUNTY WATER MANAGEMENT. WHEN THE COMMITTE COULD NOT GARNER ENOUGH APPROVAL FOR A PUBLIC VOTE, THEY AGREED TO SEND IT ON TO THE BOCC FOR APPROVAL. OZIAS IS AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE DRMT. HE AND JOHNSON OWN LAND IN THE AFFECTED AREA. OZIAS REPORTED TO THE PUD LAST YEAR HE HAD BEEN OFFERED A GRANT FROM THE OFFICE OF DRINKING WATER TO ANALYZE DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSOLIDATING PRIVATE WELLS AND SYSTEMS UNDER A SINGLE ENTITY, COUNTY.
RE SEABROOK - LAST WEEK THE BOCC APPLAUDED AN AGREEMENT WITH FLAURAS ACRES, A COMMUNITY OWNED WATER SYSTEM WITH LOTS OF WATER. FRIEND TOLD ME DAYS LATER SEABROOK WAS APPROVED. WHETHER THIS IS TRUE OR CONNECTED I DO NOT KNOW BUT.....GET YOUR PERMITS NOW SEQUIMITES BEFORE IT TOO IS FULLY ALLOCATED. THE CLIMATE REFUGEES WILL BE COMING FOR THEIR VACATIONS IN THOSE SHORT TERM RENTALS.
RE BROADBAND - PUD STAFF ADVISED THE BOCC AGAINST THE EXTRAORDINARY TIME, LABOR AND COST FOR A TECHNOLOGY THAT IS LIKELY TO CHANGE.
RE DIAPERS - YES, DISPOSABLES ARE DISGUSTING. THE NEEDLE EXCHANGE WORKED SO WELL, HOW ABOUT A DIAPER EXCHANGE?!! SURELY ONE OF THE MANY NGOS THE BOCC BELONG TO WOULD SUPPORT IT.
RE DISHWASHERS - BY THE TIME THE WASHER IS FULL THE DISHES WILL HAVE TO BE HAND SCRUBBED. PIZZA DOESN'T REQUIRE DISHES.
RE UPCOMING CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE MAROLEE SMITH-DVORAK -VOTE YES
RE CONSERAVTION DISTRICT TAX - GET A FREE COST ANALYSIS, VOTE NO.
NoZias in charge of our 'consolidated' private wells?! There's an Or-well-ian vision!
People think the kommissars will listen to reason and choose in favor of common sense.
That is cognitive dissonance!
If we plead with them, we are their subjects! We need to speak plain, clear and with command, not asking or hoping for them to do the will of the people.
They are NOT our RULERS, but that is exactly how they are behaving...they are to be managers of the common good but they are 'infiltraitors' and power mongers for the NWO. Bush senior said he thought 'they' had a real shot at this New World Order 'thing'
Don't let any 'fact checkers' tell you it's a conspiracy theory...It's a conspiracy fact!
By their fruits ye shall know them!
The socialist way is to drag everyone down to a lower common denominator while the parasitical ruling class lives Large!
Is that how we want to live?
Push back HARD!😎
m b THANK YOU FOR ALL THIS INFORMATION! IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED ; ) : ) : o
Please don't stop, I love it.
One big problem with the board commissioners is their affiliation with all the different types of groups,commissions,organizations ect.This appears to be an attempt to get support from the community for their decisions and for re election terms.The problem is they are not obeying their oaths making 'ALL their decision making for the better.They seem to be catering to these private groups & tribes that are probably tied to high end state elected that try and build more support for their radical agendas by initiating as many types of groups as possible.Now try and find some sort of oversight for these groups probably none.Groups probably get on their knees and wait for their next command.Building new housing and housing these drug addicts and derelicts that do not work is a disaster that will lead to high taxes and crime and i think this is in the works which needs to be terminated asap.Look what happened at the old aggies hotel that was supported by this insane idea,drug dealing and all sorts of crime and the building was damaged beyond reasonable repair as of today.But current board commissioners have shown support for new luxury housing apartments costing $ 4 million to start which will increase.Have these dumb jackasses learned nothing from ignorant inslee who put wa state $ 5 billion in the red from supporting illegals & drug addicts and now they want to follow suit like complete ignorant libtards.
All these 'special interest' groups are like octopi grasping, grasping, squeezing, squeezing, probing, probing, consuming, consuming...time and resources...for what?
Where is there any measurable proof that these 'groups' are accomplishing anything worthwhile? Some probably do and they should receive some public support, but there is, again...NO ACCOUNTABILITY!
Time for accountability and follow through...what is so hard about that?
Narcissism and entitlement kind of get in the way of it, I guess!😊
