Therefore, I support Ed Murray in an executive role that would make him more competitive in a future gubernatorial election.

Sorry, Mike. You're a great mayor, and a good man. So come to Tacoma and be our mayor. Let Ed do the thing that we all need him to do. Do it because you love Washington. Do it because your principles are bigger than your ego.

"But critics of the deal said some of the tracts the government was prepared to give up were ecologically invaluable. Fossil Creek, a 4.3 square mile (2,752 acre) tract of old growth forest, is believed to be one of the most ancient forest stands in Washington. Residents of the logging town of Randle objected to the loss of Watch Mountain, a 3.4 square mile old growth forest patch. The community, a neighbor to the Gifford Pinchot National Forest lying directly below Watch Mountain, feared that Plum Creek's logging practices not only would result in a landslide and destroy a local stream, but would result in the loss of the scenic beauty of their town."

"At the end of August, five forest conservation groups filed an appeal of the I-90 Land Exchange, citing numerous violations of federal law, irreparable destruction of rare ecosystems, and potential harm to the local community of Randle. The groups requested that publicly owned parcels in the Green River Watershed and Gifford Pinchot National Forest, including Fossil Creek and Watch Mountain, be dropped from the exchange."

"We simply cannot support an exchange that sacrifices rare, low elevation old growth forest," said Dave Werntz, staff ecologist for the Northwest Ecosystem Alliance. "Both parcels in the Gifford Pinchot contain trees that are over four centuries old - some of the oldest trees left in all of Southwest Washington. How could we ever put a monetary figure to the value of these lands?"

"Randle residents were joined in opposition to the exchange by the Cascadia Defense Network, a loose knit group of activists who are sitting in trees at Watch Mountain until the Gifford Pinchot National Forest gets dropped from the exchange. The tree sitters have made an unusual alliance with the community of Randle, a former logging town, to see that the forest is not acquired by Plum Creek."

"Our hope is that Senator Murray will hear our message, save the last of this precious ancient forest, and protect the town of Randle,"

i think the seattle times won a pulitzer for the "trading away the west" series they wrote about the sketchy corporate sierra club land trades back in 1998. i was there, we saved thousands of acres of ancient forest from the chainsaws of the 1990's sierra club. they made a movie about the shit too.

remember, anyone who will dismantle the corrupt SPD Guild is who is needed. mike mcginn will never go there. he had his chance already and said "no". even though it ain't my town anymore. i am just standing here right now so i decided to type something serious. SPD Guild is so right wing i don't understand what the whole delay is all about.

My vote is for Ishii.

McGinn might be a close second, but I would have to hear that he is pro-plop first.
