The commissioners did not answer yesterday's email. Here is today's question:
Dear Commissioners,
Several county leaders — including the Prosecuting Attorney, the Sheriff, the Police Chief, and a state legislator — have all said they’re willing to show up to a public town hall on public safety, harm-reduction outcomes, and out-of-county offenders. Why haven’t the county commissioners responded, and will you commit to attending a public forum so residents can ask these questions directly?
If it were Ron Allen, the League of Women voters, Invisable Sequim, or the timber industry, you would have received a reply. You have to be a Canadian or a tribal members to be worth their time away from watching the Dean Witter portfolio.
Below is a modeled example of how an individual county commissioner — and then the Board, through a public meeting — could respond to this question using good-governance practices. The purpose is to demonstrate that clear, lawful responses are possible while staying within the commissioner’s role and moving issues forward in a transparent manner.
Modeled Individual Commissioner Response
Thank you for reaching out. Public safety, harm-reduction outcomes, and community trust are important issues, and I understand why residents are requesting a public forum.
As an individual commissioner, I cannot commit the Board to attend or convene a town hall. Any Board action or commitment must be discussed and agreed upon collectively in an open public meeting, consistent with the Open Public Meetings Act.
That said, public engagement is a recognized tool for building trust, particularly on complex and sensitive issues. I will request that this topic be placed on a future Board agenda, allowing for open and transparent discussion of options for public engagement, including a town hall (Municipal Research and Services Center, 2024).
I appreciate residents raising these questions and encourage continued participation as the Board considers next steps.
Sincerely,
[Commissioner Name]
County Commissioner
For clarity: once the Board takes action in a public meeting, updates and details are shared through publicly noticed agendas and official county communications rather than individual emails.
Modeled Follow-Up Email from the Individual Commissioner (After Board Action)
Dear [Constituent Name],
I wanted to follow up and let you know that the Board discussed your request during a recent public meeting. In open session, the Board agreed to move forward with the next steps related to a public forum on public safety and harm-reduction issues.
Because this is now a Board-directed action, implementation will occur through the public process. Details such as the date, location, and format of any town hall will be developed by staff and publicly noticed once finalized.
The best way to stay informed will be to:
Watch upcoming Board agendas and meeting materials on the county website, and
Monitor official county communications where meeting notices are posted.
Once the event is scheduled, it will be publicly announced so all residents have equal access to the information. I encourage you to attend or participate when that notice is issued.
Thank you again for engaging thoughtfully in the public process.
Sincerely,
[Commissioner Name]

They make it evident that they don't give a rat's ass about the PEOPLE-- only their special interests. The general public really needs their eyes opened to this malfeasance!
@JeffTozzer, hi my name is Dr. Sarah and I am a “blamer”… I know I already sent you this three minute short about blaming, but couldn’t not not post it here after your comment about who you will blame for future technical difficulties: Here is inspirational thinker Brené Brown who considers why we blame others https://youtu.be/RZWf2_2L2v8?si=YwucTy4PyawfpMob
Anyone who treats their citizens the way you do has NO right to criticize our president! At least he is looking out for the real citizens of this country.
We have an uphill battle, with all the lack of voter integrity. We are finding more and more cases of non citizens voting unchecked. Commissioners Walzing around with impunity will come to an end. Especially when Tim is going to take a ton of heat from all his state scams, I'm sure he took profit on....
Let this stuff come to light and we have a chance. These people can not exist in the light!
“We need to understand that the majority of Americans despise Donald Trump and we need to support each other because there are a whole lot of people out there who wish to save democracy in America.” — Commissioner Mark Ozias in Clallam Democrats Rising----- Yet he does a lot of the same style. Pot meet Kettle.
How can the majority of Americans despise Donald Trump when he creamed the Democrats in the presidential election? One man's opinion does not make the reality true?
One man's delusion is hard to penetrate...the will to power is a strong ego thing!
And everybody thinks they are right from their perspective...however there IS only Right and Wrong and it's not hard to discern...the gray areas will fall on one side or another with a little digging!😎
There are several issues involved in the above statement. Without taking sides I would say that any Republican would be hated and not just Trump. Also we do not know how many non-citizens voted in past elections plus non-citizens were counted in the census which strengthened representation in certain Democrat districts. Voting fraud also may have been present.
In addition, I vote for my own self-interest and the interest of my county, state and country because it is all intertwined. I don't care about mob rule (pure democracy) if it destroys the basic structure of governments. I believe government parasites should not vote. In spite of the civics lesson, we all received in the lower grades demographics matter and that is why Biden left the border open. If this assertion is false explain the developments in Minnesota. Not just the fraud but the abuse of government services.
The same computer tabulation corps are involved in ALL jurisdictions...there are only a few...which means they pretty much have a monopoly and they have no morals, so it's possible to get as many votes as you want to pay for as well as the propensity of the tabulation companies to be communist controlled!😎
As much as we want local accountability and our elected officials to work on local matters, those who don't push the conversation in to the national sphere and push us into the quagmire that is Clallam County. I won't touch the national conversation because it's playing into the distraction that's causing us local pain.
As above, so below. I agree with focusing locally but it's one giant corrupt machine at all levels, so we shouldn't get distracted but people need to know it's a BIG deal and not just a local phenomenon!
It IS the entire nation we are fighting for...at the local level!😎
LOL I don't care about majorities. Electoral votes are what counts. Not everyone should be allowed to vote. Anyone who receives a government paycheck should not be allowed to vote because that process represents conflict of interest. I remember a phrase stating that "a conservative is a liberal who was mugged". I no longer believe that because evidence indicates a contradiction. However, there is one voting demographic that believes in merit and one that believes in compassion. Compassion may be desirable as a Fabian political philosophy but merit though brutally unfair wins races.
I didn't mention another voting block that favors its ancient bloodlines above sound government. This group views federal and local government funds as mere receptacles available for plunder........and the local voters consistently succumb to the ruse. Our world is absurd.
Residents recently asked community leaders to participate in a public town hall.
The only officials who did not respond?
Commissioners Mike French, Mark Ozias, and Randy Johnson. ----- There it is. Flat out to scared to face the very folks some of who got them elected along with others because even they know they are screwing the county over while getting richer themselves.
They've created this mess by not recognizing their obligations to the people, and now don't know how to respond or dig themselves out of the hole their in. I'm sure Dr. Sarh will be along to give them some practical guidance.
I'd give everyone one of them the grace they'd deserve, if they'd just act.
Some civic engagement is a great way to progress the conversations here to in-person conversations with Mimi and others who are tired of the same old, same old. I enjoy her perspectives. Excellent.
To the solo efforts of Virginia Shogren. What a testament to what a single person can accomplish, albeit her attorney background, but we've seen other examples (Eric Fehrman wrt to the Hospital agreeing to recording public meetings), and others I can't recall but all the same the message is clear. More people are engaged and trying to figure out what they can do beyond banging on a keyboard at 6:30am, and while I'd like to think that we're moving the needle, it's clearly bending!
Our elected leaders should be focused on the good citizens of Clallam County, and when spending our tax dollars do it in the most efficient and transparent manner. Commissioner Ozias is not interested in Clallam County citizens, he's using every one of us to further his personal agenda. I'm sure there are those who voted for him specifically for what he's doing, but I want someone who authentically cares and wants to represent the good citizens because it's the right thing to do.
The distinction between the Jamestown Corporation is an important. I have no issues with the Jamestown people whatsoever, but I see the Corporation no different than Walmart or any other corporation that the public demands equal footing within every other measure where they generate bigger profits while the people struggle to make ends meet. If the Jamestown Corporation at a minimum shared profits with their members in a meaningful way like some other tribal corporations do then I'd find them more palatable, but at least publicly traded corporations allow others to invest and share in the profits.
In response to your JT comment. While watching tv the other night the Puyallup tribe had some commercials on. What really stood out to me was both commercials by them included the word everyone not just them.
Was like getting hit in the head with a frying pan. :D The difference in Everyone verse's just Us hit me like a ton of bricks when thinking how much ruling JT tries to play the it's all about us theme.
I would question the message. Possibly trying to get ahead of the curve. I would think other tribes are aware of the growing pushback concerning other tribes. Particularly in this area. I realize each tribe is governed differently. Maybe to cynical, definitely to old, yet not old enough.
It appears that Clallam County Commissioner Mark Ozias has chosen a tyrannical path, influenced by groups promising political capital in exchange for his tyrannical decisions favoring their special interests. Mark Ozias, Randy Johnson, and Mike French have stated that public speakers do not have equal standing as do recognized groups (NGO’s non-profits). Is this despotism? I think so. We need to stay informed, stand up, voice our concerns, and , be just another brick in the wall pushing back the tyranny.
Taking the bricks out of the wall between them and us...one at a time!
I have zero concern for them...my concern is for the good people of Clallam County who deserve MUCH better that what they get from the Kommissars...AND JKT!😎
Jeff I understand that your energy is restricted to mostly local issues, but I have a general question that pertains to both parochial and national subjects. Why do I pay child support? I wasn't present during conception, yet my tax bill is devoted to feeding millions of children. Does anyone remember "The Dark Ages" when parents fed their own children? I assume that you and Doug are in the same boat. Do the two of you enjoy without consent feeding another person's offspring? When I entered first grade, I carried a Zoro lunch pail that contained a sandwich, thermos and apple. When did schools become soup kitchens? I thought their purpose was to teach the three R's.
Good question. I wish schools would get back to academic outcomes. If you've ever heard one of Denise's public comments, you know she talks about how much food waste occurs in schools. Kids eat the good stuff, and scrape the rest into the trash can.
Look at Minnesota. WA state now provides school breakfast and lunch for all students. It's a scam! A waste of money, a waste of food, 0a boon to money laundering.
Schools were taken over by the Rockefellers in the early 1900's...they took over the board of education and determined the long, slow process of dumbing down the populace to the level of worker-imbeciles...not everyone got caught in the trap but many did...enough to tip the balance toward complete dependency on the 'nannie-state' for many...they don't want free-thinking intelligent people...there are enough of those...too many for their liking, so, you are correct about what has happened but many still don't get it is all planned out, decades ago...the NWO people are patient because they plan intergenerationally, while most of us plan very short term, one lifetime of planning is unusual for the masses, common for them! That's how they do it...They own the AMA as well, so that's how they pulled of the scamdemic! They control the banking...JPMorgan was a Rockefeller stooge and was involved in creating 'The Fed'..."The Creature From Jekyll Island" tells the story of the financial capture of the U.S.! And it goes on and on...😎
Great potpourri today, Jeff! Congratulations to you and CCWD posts and podcasts. Your 2025 numbers are amazing! And you're just getting started! 2026 will be a boom year. I have met Virginia Shogren and I really liked talking to her. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and humble. Virginia has shown her courage by standing up to real -not imagined to inflate one's ego- bullies. Election integrity is important on every level of voting. Virginia proved this by challenging the CCD elections and winning. Tomorrow is the Commissioners Forum, a chance to ask our representatives questions and get answers. See you tomorrow at 10:00.
Don’t forget to read 10/25/25 watchdog article. It will further remind you of how the $350K luxury (because many in Clallam County are without these luxuries but forced to pay for them for others) apartments are looked at as normal & the future here for Clallam County……
Hey, Ozias, you are out of touch and corrupt. If you missed the election, the majority of people voted FOR Trump. It's folks like you that cannot move on and think insulting the majority of people in the county is a good thing. Only a true liberal, self serving, corrupt politician would believe this. Congrats, you fit the profile. While you get more wealthy sitting on that perch of yours, the rest of us taxpayers will foot your bill.
As for barring the attorney for 2 years for questioning the corrupt election practices, this seems to be the favorite tool of Ferguson. As AG, he ruined Tim Eyman by first declaring him to be a PAC, then suing him for $MILLIONS on that basis, taking Eyman's home, marriage, and income. Ferguson is a ruthless miscreant against conservatives, but blind and deaf to leftist corruption.
As I remember. Ferguson is the one who negotiated the salmon (restoration ) bridges we drive by and over. Billions with very questionable results.I wonder if he is second guessing those decisions in light of the billions in damage with current flooding, not to mention the future.
The question to ask is who $$$benefits from them? How much of that ends up in Ferguson's offshore bank account? How much of it goes to Ferguson's cronies? How much of that will end up in their election fundraising campaigns?
I recently watched an episode of Itchy Boots, on YouTube, a backroads travel video series created by a mid-30's Dutch woman on a motorcycle. A recent episode was through a city in Tajikistan. What amazed me was the modern buildings and clean streets. The entire country's GDP is likely far less that Washington's, but there was no litter, no graffiti, no tents, no drug addicts, no shopping carts. And that led me to realize just how much politicians are ripping off taxpayers to enrich themselves. Our tax money is supposed to pay for the maintenance of infrastructure, police, fire, hospitals. Yet, all of these agencies are always screaming for more money. Why? Where is it going? DOGE found out where it was going. Washington's department of public works union, or whatever they call themselves, is surely indebted to Ferguson for these boondoggle projects. And so on. EVERYONE comes out ahead except for the taxpayers who expect something for their tax money. WTF do we get but eroding infrastructure and a bare minimum of police, fire, schools, and things that the money SHOULD go for?
I don't know if he had a choice from what I recall reading. WA state was kicking the can down the road for too long and when the piper came, we all paid for it.
That may have been an honest mistake: https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtMw_ecb6b3da-592c-4b92-a573-c17a0aebdfd5 But regardless, that's not what Ferguson ruined him about. Ferguson claimed that he was a "1 person Political Action Committee" and, as such, declared his income incorrectly, and sued him for $4.5 million, taking his home, all assets, and any future income. Think about that-- that is a clear violation of our 8th Amendment!
My life has been politically split between the unfortunately two political party choices. I started life as a union worker in Seattle. Both Seattle and unions being heavily dedicated to the Democrat Party I was on that wave. Mid life I decided to become a union contractor as opposed to a union worker. That change made me an overnight enemy of all things Democrat. The why of that I still do not understand, but simplistically union workers negotiate with their employers for their pay scales. The workers always wanting more, regardless of any conditions or situations. The employers always tamping down pay raise aspirations in the hope of remaining competitive. Unwittingly having become an enemy of my own political party gave me the opportunity to look more objectively. I now see the Democrat Party as a parasite killing it's host. Free everything for everybody, including non-residents, no economic plan or skills and above all else no independent thinking aloud. To be a devout Democrat you must be a good Lemming and never question what Daddy tells you. The historical script of Republicans being capitalistic back scratchers and Democrats representing the common citizen has flipped 180o. Democrat politicians curry the favor of tech billionaires and media giants, while enabling jobs to be shipped off shore. The Democrat desperation for votes has digressed to importing illegal votes from non citizens, via illegal immigration, and dipping deeper into the minority-ism barrel for groupings like trans, gay, lesbian, queer, bi-sexual, etc., ( AKA sexual deviation ). Once Democrats collect all of their varying minority votes their constituents are dropped like a hot potato. I offer the recent Democrat "Inflation Reduction Act" that brought us unprecented inflation. If it was not for the amazing accomplishments of our current POTUS, Democrats would have nothing to say or do other than; if I ever accomplished anything, it would have been better than "him". I have not seen one Democrat plan, platform or agenda other than Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The commissioners did not answer yesterday's email. Here is today's question:
Dear Commissioners,
Several county leaders — including the Prosecuting Attorney, the Sheriff, the Police Chief, and a state legislator — have all said they’re willing to show up to a public town hall on public safety, harm-reduction outcomes, and out-of-county offenders. Why haven’t the county commissioners responded, and will you commit to attending a public forum so residents can ask these questions directly?
All three county commissioners can be reached by emailing the Clerk of the Board at loni.gores@clallamcountywa.gov.
If it were Ron Allen, the League of Women voters, Invisable Sequim, or the timber industry, you would have received a reply. You have to be a Canadian or a tribal members to be worth their time away from watching the Dean Witter portfolio.
Criminals is as criminals does!😱

Colleen would have coffee with you if you were on that list...

I have met Virginia Shogren and I really liked talking to her. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and humble. Virginia has shown her courage by standing up to real -not imagined to inflate one's ego- bullies. Election integrity is important on every level of voting. Virginia proved this by challenging the CCD elections and winning. Tomorrow is the Commissioners Forum, a chance to ask our representatives questions and get answers. See you tomorrow at 10:00.
Don’t forget to read 10/25/25 watchdog article. It will further remind you of how the $350K luxury (because many in Clallam County are without these luxuries but forced to pay for them for others) apartments are looked at as normal & the future here for Clallam County……
Hey, Ozias, you are out of touch and corrupt. If you missed the election, the majority of people voted FOR Trump. It's folks like you that cannot move on and think insulting the majority of people in the county is a good thing. Only a true liberal, self serving, corrupt politician would believe this. Congrats, you fit the profile. While you get more wealthy sitting on that perch of yours, the rest of us taxpayers will foot your bill.
We don't HAVE TO! Just sayin'! Withholding funds IS entirely possible...it's up to US!😎
As for barring the attorney for 2 years for questioning the corrupt election practices, this seems to be the favorite tool of Ferguson. As AG, he ruined Tim Eyman by first declaring him to be a PAC, then suing him for $MILLIONS on that basis, taking Eyman's home, marriage, and income. Ferguson is a ruthless miscreant against conservatives, but blind and deaf to leftist corruption.
As I remember. Ferguson is the one who negotiated the salmon (restoration ) bridges we drive by and over. Billions with very questionable results.I wonder if he is second guessing those decisions in light of the billions in damage with current flooding, not to mention the future.
The question to ask is who $$$benefits from them? How much of that ends up in Ferguson's offshore bank account? How much of it goes to Ferguson's cronies? How much of that will end up in their election fundraising campaigns?
I recently watched an episode of Itchy Boots, on YouTube, a backroads travel video series created by a mid-30's Dutch woman on a motorcycle. A recent episode was through a city in Tajikistan. What amazed me was the modern buildings and clean streets. The entire country's GDP is likely far less that Washington's, but there was no litter, no graffiti, no tents, no drug addicts, no shopping carts. And that led me to realize just how much politicians are ripping off taxpayers to enrich themselves. Our tax money is supposed to pay for the maintenance of infrastructure, police, fire, hospitals. Yet, all of these agencies are always screaming for more money. Why? Where is it going? DOGE found out where it was going. Washington's department of public works union, or whatever they call themselves, is surely indebted to Ferguson for these boondoggle projects. And so on. EVERYONE comes out ahead except for the taxpayers who expect something for their tax money. WTF do we get but eroding infrastructure and a bare minimum of police, fire, schools, and things that the money SHOULD go for?
How many of those restoration bridges were over seasonal creeks?
The only plus is that they should be more earthquake resistant now, fish or no fish...but what a price tag!😱
I don't know if he had a choice from what I recall reading. WA state was kicking the can down the road for too long and when the piper came, we all paid for it.

Sociopaths NEVER reconsider ANYTHING! They just move on to the next grift/graft scheme!😎
That's why his name is often misspelled...it's actually Ferguscum...along with his buddy Newscum and don't forget 'Kotex' in OR!
ROTFL! Don't forget Demoscum!
That may have been an honest mistake: https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtMw_ecb6b3da-592c-4b92-a573-c17a0aebdfd5 But regardless, that's not what Ferguson ruined him about. Ferguson claimed that he was a "1 person Political Action Committee" and, as such, declared his income incorrectly, and sued him for $4.5 million, taking his home, all assets, and any future income. Think about that-- that is a clear violation of our 8th Amendment!
That is pure despotic tyranny! Psychopaths!😎
My life has been politically split between the unfortunately two political party choices. I started life as a union worker in Seattle. Both Seattle and unions being heavily dedicated to the Democrat Party I was on that wave. Mid life I decided to become a union contractor as opposed to a union worker. That change made me an overnight enemy of all things Democrat. The why of that I still do not understand, but simplistically union workers negotiate with their employers for their pay scales. The workers always wanting more, regardless of any conditions or situations. The employers always tamping down pay raise aspirations in the hope of remaining competitive. Unwittingly having become an enemy of my own political party gave me the opportunity to look more objectively. I now see the Democrat Party as a parasite killing it's host. Free everything for everybody, including non-residents, no economic plan or skills and above all else no independent thinking aloud. To be a devout Democrat you must be a good Lemming and never question what Daddy tells you. The historical script of Republicans being capitalistic back scratchers and Democrats representing the common citizen has flipped 180o. Democrat politicians curry the favor of tech billionaires and media giants, while enabling jobs to be shipped off shore. The Democrat desperation for votes has digressed to importing illegal votes from non citizens, via illegal immigration, and dipping deeper into the minority-ism barrel for groupings like trans, gay, lesbian, queer, bi-sexual, etc., ( AKA sexual deviation ). Once Democrats collect all of their varying minority votes their constituents are dropped like a hot potato. I offer the recent Democrat "Inflation Reduction Act" that brought us unprecented inflation. If it was not for the amazing accomplishments of our current POTUS, Democrats would have nothing to say or do other than; if I ever accomplished anything, it would have been better than "him". I have not seen one Democrat plan, platform or agenda other than Trump Derangement Syndrome.
It's a regular Sodom and Gomorrah out there!😎
$350K/unit. These will unquestionably be trashed, so who will pay for the repairs and renovations?
Sadly trashed within a few months since they are not drug free places. :(
Exactly! They will also likely allow their druggie friends to share the spaces, so think tents and shopping carts in the apartments and hallways.
The same source who will pay the subsidized rent and the "income" (SSI) of occupants, taxpayers. the cost listed is solely to build.
BINGO! The taxpayers again! BOHICA.
The time for a taxpayer's revolt is way past due.
