Jake Seegers, Excellent Excellent article and presentation! There are so many twists, turns, lies and errors, who could have figured this one out? You did, and made it understandable to us. I take my hat off to you…. I once was blind, but now I see ; )
Thank you Jake. The commissioners obvious believe that more government is better, regardless of the actual need or fiscal accountability. They dislike the public getting its nose under the tent door and questioning their motives and results. One wonders what a county deep-dive, line-item budget review would reveal.
Solid analysis!!!! Why is it so hard for Commissioners, Council members, and non profit beneficiaries to rely on real math and hold themselves accountable?
Nice job Jake. This is the definition of forensic accounting. All government agencies and NGO's should be put through this analysis. I do disagree on one point, however, I don't think the discrepancies you found were just "miscalculations". These entities use every trick possible to show continual need for public money. Sometimes tricks can be funny, but sometimes tricks can be fraud.
Most importantly, thank you Mr. Seegers for solidifying my resolve to turn in my petition form to you which currently sits at 7, but along with another neighbor we've gathered 13 signatures so far. I'd encourage any reader of this article who agrees with the intent of the petition to at a minimum print out a copy, sign it, and mail it in if you don't have time to gather signatures from neighbors or friends.
The stage is being set here. In light of clear evidence that the citizens of Clallam County are being hoodwinked if the BOCCCs votes in favor of the $5 fee it'll be the gateway to future unfettered desires put into action by three people, not the electorate.
The worst part about this is that it takes a private citizen to do what our BOCCC isn't doing. This theme isn't new with the current crew. There's a serious lack of diligence on display to ensure that our hard earned tax dollars are being spent efficiently and for anyone new to CCWD articles this is one of many examples.
There is nothing worse than liars that can figure but are caught in a lie pretending they are figuring.
Mark Ozias is waiting for an international government ,California and tribes to decide our comprehensive plan, after they pretend to run all the aspects of it by the public first.
Oh were not done they said at the DRMT. But they still have not offered to show us what the international government ,California and tribes have identified and informed them on.
They do a dog and pony show, then do what international government ,California and tribes tell them to. Which based on previous years is "rechanneling growth to the UGA."
They use riparian science because they can use the river to take property. In their minds that is their plan for rechanneling growth.
To do this they cross their own science and sacrifice salmon spawning and water conservation in favor of wild river enhancement.. ie the salmon Ciscoe. planting trees and vegetation.
Now they have monetized the process and are getting people to pay for themselves to get re-channeled.
Gov. Ferguson just told the windmill committee people to head back to the Yakama Tribe and get their input before submitting their plans to place wind turbines in the Yakima WA region. And logging remains a big issue in our own backyard. Probably a lot of input to the Democrats/state legislature to mandate a "NEW and IMPROVED" COMPREHENSIVE plan in 2025 for the development of Washington towns and counties. Wouldn't surprise me if that is why the MORATORIUM was placed on Westbrook development. Will Sequim be held harmless and can't be sued by the developer - "We didn't know the Legislature was going to change the rules of the game!"
@Jake Seeger - What excellent investigating journalism! You and @Jeff Tozzer continue to raise the bar. This is a great call to duty.
I'm baffled to identify a credible need for this organization! It seems like this group is more about virtue signaling and window dressing than factual need!
There is a point in time where no CCD existed and I'm betting on the fact that water was available then. Start there and assess whether or not the water management in place needs any change. Absent that create Government managed "Conservation Districts" for each and every identifiable resource. Conservation District Offices for trees, rivers, mountains, snow, beaches, fish, marine mammals, Elk, deer, bears, etc., etc., etc.. Do we really need Government agencies to duplicate Government agencies ?

How many people will we have seeking "clean water" on a citizen funded payroll somewhere? Is there overlap here(
As I pointed out yesterday:
Apparently Clallam County has a water quality specialist on the payroll already?
Page 2, look at the notes from Janine Reed:
"Janine Reed, Clallam County: Updating onsite regulations
to coincide with the state WAC. Public Hearing coming up.
No major changes, main things are RV parks and splitting
flows. HIRED A WATER QUALITY SPECIALIST, YAY! Appreciate
working with Conservation Districts. Been able to disperse
more funds for repairs than ever before, and always
looking for more funding for this (Thanks to Sandra
White!)

Good job Jake,

Its dastardly.

Actually I think this commission could disappear and absolutely no one would be harmed ,nor the land we live on.

It's always in trplicate, Garry, when government is involved in anything.
Government needs to stop bitching every year about droughts and build some in ground reservoirs that should be a priority for humans and .... the fish
