To The Eagle:

Candidates for the Wahkiakum offices of PUD commissioner, treasurer, and county commissioner were on center stage Monday night at the packed Pioneer Community Church.

They distinguished themselves with thoughtful and informative answers; public information and transparency at its best! Two questions addressed and paraphrased to the county commissioner candidates were: 1) what is one major goal you would like to initiate for the good of the county and; 2) what is one serious or important issue that should be addressed by the county commissioners?

While the county commissioner candidates addressed key issues of county income, appropriate and balanced expenditures among departments and outside requests (i.e., library) and, the county’s roads and infrastructures needs, I give my responses.

Of concern to all citizens within the county should be the abuse and collusion of the prosecuting attorney and district court judge; missing and misappropriated fire department and Emergency Medical System funds managed by the prosecuting attorney and district court judge are an important example.

One goal for me, as a concerned citizen, is to work to remove both men from office.

On a related topic, no candidate, new or incumbent, should run unopposed in any election, nor voted for or elected without being questioned or report on his/her goals, and or actions in office.

In subsequent letters to the editor and paid announcements, I will outline the justifications for my one citizen’s goal.

To help you learn more about discrepancies in your legal system, I ask you to write-in my name for Superior Court Judge-Position #1.
