Obviously, you don't have a clue...@ Anon 9:37 <br /> Obviously, you don't have a clue about what you are talking about, or are just a stupid troll doing what stupid trolls do. Or, you're one of the old guard in this town who just want things to stay the same. <br /><br /> I know Mr. Wilson fairly well, and know the long hours he puts in every day, for the good of the community. His focus is trying to expose the wrongs, and help those that have been wronged. And, to give voice to those the established business community here try so hard to silence. I know, such terrible things.<br /><br /> Mr. Wilson has his flaws, like every one of us. You obviously don't agree with his politics, or his efforts. I thought this was "The Land of the Free"? I thought our soldiers fought for the rights of free speech. For everyone. <br /><br /> Unlike you, Mr. Wilson's hard work is evident throughout the county. Things are changing, because of Mr. Wilson and his efforts.<br /><br /> Who else can you point to, that has accomplished what Mr. Wilson has, in such a short time?<br /><br /> You?

This is how "kick-backs" work, in politics. You as a politician arrange for big wads of public money to be delivered to the preferred few, you arrange for special legislation that puts money in the pockets of the preferred few, and they make sure you get your cut, in the form of "donations".<br /><br /> As said before, if it were not for government money propping up Port Angeles and the County, there would be no economy here at all.<br /><br /> And yet, you'll hear how "Business know how to do it better than government".

Why pay a man ten dollars an hour to run a sawmill when someone in Sri Lanka will run one for ten dollars a day. Thanks Bill Clinton for that trade bill. Someone explain this to me: drive by the waterfront on Marine Drive and look at all the logs headed for China--going for pennies on the dollar. Drive a little further and watch the tractor trailer trucks getting off the ferry carrying dimensional lumber, 2by4's, 2 by 6's real lumber going to build American homes. So the timber barons sell off our natural resources for a pittance while we buy Canadian lumber for $3 a 2 by 4.
