Look up how many people work in our courthouse, that were employed with the casino or tribe. Our assessor Pam Rushton, is one of them. It would be interesting to see if the tribe gave to her campaign.

Reading other publications and I’d say crushed rock is very much needed locally unless you’re fortunate to have a paved road or driveway or both? There are homes near the current location of the gravel pit, not any complaints. Did Ozias have anything to do with the robust advocacy against the new location like he did about the MAT clinic in downtown Sequim and the closure of Towne Road?

One core belief I have as an elected official is that local government only works when citizens participate. It troubles me greatly to think that so many feel they have been left out of the process."
