Comments on What They're Doing for You Lately in Olympia

With a multi-billion dollar restoration plan in the works, it makes no sense to put the largest gravel mine in the US in the middle of Puget Sound.

And Glacier doesn't even own the mineral rights - the citizens of Washington State do.

This mine is a boondoggle all around.

We need gravel for construction, but let's get our priorities straight.

Thanks for this, Josh. Two small tweaks:

(1) When Sharon was appointed, we had 159 Precinct Committee Officers.

(2) We hardly had to send Sharon to Olympia with a mandate to stop Glacier. She had been in the forefront of efforts to protect our part of the Sound for more than 10 years already.

Please tell your Senators and Representatives to approve HB 2530, as written, no amendments. Thanks.

Sorry, Dude, everybody's way too going crazy over ECB's posts right now. Bad timing.

Josh,

Thanks for this one.

Sharon Nelson has distinguished herself as a regional leader for environmental protection-both on and off the island-for years.

This marine mine is so lame. There is a huge mine with decades worth of gravel on Grouse Ridge east of North Bend. We need to protect what little undeveloped shoreline remains on Puget Sound if we ever hope to bring it back from the brink of collapse.

The money changers have obviously visited Mr. Orcutt, early and often.

A politician who sees the right legislation through to its end. Well done, Rep. Nelson.

I think Sharon is great, and good for her for getting right down to business. But isn't it the schmoozing that gets the supporting votes?

go Sharon! fuck conventional politics! we love you fish!
