This keeps getting better and better for the worse!! You live your life and pay your taxes, to find people who behave like tyrants and bullies are wasting our money, and are in charge, that’s terrifying!
It's odd to me how some people think nothing of bashing money hungry companies/corporations, but don't mind losing more of their hard earned money to outrageous inefficiencies of NGO'S.
Fermanis, what a piece of work, but that's not as troubling as the various commissioners for not addressing her radical behaviors. Good heavens, she seems to be the exact kind of person in need of the same services she supposedly advocates for.
If you believe that NGOs are the latest money laundring scheme...i do...you have to ask yourself why are our commisioners on the boards of so many of them...the same NGOs that they allocate County money to???
harold, you are correct, take them off other boards. Concentrating the ineptitude leaders to their own corners makes it easier to follow and fight. The shell game would end.
THE SHELL GAME: Three shells and a pea... a public gambling game that challenges players to follow the movement of a marker hidden under one of several covers. In practice, the game is almost always run as a confidence trick.
We all know that because Ms. Fermanis' ideologies align with those in charge, she gets a pass. Otherwise, Comm. Tozzer wouldn't have been singled out and harassed by his fellow CRC Commissioners. Fermanis' hateful and violent posts should get her fired from any public position, in the very least she is toxic for public relations. But she won't be, because they need her to say aloud what they can't themselves. If these leaders have no shame, but delight, in stealing your money, think what else they enjoy doing to you.
In the name of “harm reduction,” it’s time to “compassionately” boot PBH and OPCC out of Clallam County. Some others are deserving as well.
The OPCC connection with the Sheriff bothers me and reminds me how the Sheriff tried to scare citizens before the election into voting for the Levy Lid Lift with his phony statistic about the number of deputies elsewhere compared to here.
I want to provide some framework and methods to analyze the situation in the future. The Sheriff’s 0.82 deputies per 1,000 Clallam County residents means 65 deputies. If all deputies receive 2 weeks of paid vacation, that requires 130 weeks divided by 52 weeks in a year , which means 2.5 deputies are always unavailable. Another way 2/52 x 65 = 2.5. If average 3 weeks of vacation per deputy, 3.75 would always be away from duties. Vacations won’t be spread out equally though the year, and we can’t have fractions of deputies.
Let’s just go with 3, leaving a pool of 62. Now each of these needs 2 days off per week. 2/7 x 62 = say, 18. We are down to 44, but we need an allowance for sickness, training, court dates, and ??? I chose 2 because it left 42, which is a magic number and easily divided to staff 3 shifts. And we now have 14 (another special number) available per shift.
Do you think that is plenty to cover the county? If the number were raised to 2.3 per thousand, which the Sheriff said we needed to meet the national average, there could be some 40 per shift. Kind of over doing it, no?
Don’t forget there is one general per 10 deputies in the department. Hmmm.
This exercise was to provide tools not precision. Maybe use this as an assignment for your kids or discussion over coffee with friends.

Fiduciary Responsibility! To borrow from Laugh In, "Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls".

Wow. This isn't an article about NGOs at all, but instead a smear campaign against Alexandria. This is not journalism.
