Eh

Sometimes, a headline really does tell the whole tale. Such is the case with the following headline:

 

Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce can't muster enough voters to reorganize, so it'll stay the same

 



So what if the Chamber has been a dismal failure? Whatever.

 

So what if it's clear the present model and leadership isn't working? Eh.

 

So what if it sends the worst possible signal that your organization doesn't even care enough to vote on its own future? Double eh.

 



Hell, COC members didn't even care enough to vote "no" to the reorganization. They couldn't muster even 15% of their members to vote. Since the ballots didn't come with a plate of shitty chicken and a sleep-inducing presentation, maybe they didn't know they were supposed to do something? Who knows? And who cares? Apparently not the members of the COC. You know, the ones who are Captains of Industry and Stewards of the Economy.

 

Meanwhile, Russ Venalmaw is all set to get his totally undeserved $42,000 golden parachute. Considering how little Russ has to show for his tenure - which is to say, nothing - that's a pretty big chunk of change to shell out just for the pleasure of having him leave.

 

Meanwhile, speaking of shells...How about that shell game with tax dollars to build the fabled composites recycling center? Basically all the parties are agreeing to waste, er, invest, their money if everyone else is.

 

Forget the suicide railings on the bridge; Port Angeles needs suicide railings at public meetings, to keep the people in charge of economic development from jumping into every hare-brained scheme and lunatic venture that passes by.
