Today, we received a flier sent out by the Washington Pilots Association, Shelton Chapter with: STOP RAHN REDMAN'S INITIATIVES in large red letters, saying Vote NO on Redman's Initiatives 1 & 2, and Vote YES on Port Proposition 1. (Hmmm, wasn't it was hundreds of we, the people, who signed a PETITION to get Initiatives 1 & 2 on the ballot?)
There are radio ads too. That's not cheap...
Why would a bunch of pilots care this much about the structure of the Port Commission? Well, to start with...guess WHO is the president of the Association? Surprise! Surprise! Why no other than the Port of Shelton, Executive Director John Dobson!
Here's an excerpt from the WPA newsletter comment written by John Dobson:
"The attorney for the Port of Shelton and I were discussing political challenges regarding misinformation in the media over a rather large project we are working on. The “anti” folk (NIMBY folk) have hijacked the process with lies, intimidation and personal attacks...tactics used in the 1960s by most anarchists."Do the Pilots Association and the present Port management have some special plans for our future that they are afraid we "NIMBY folk" might object to, like the above mentioned "rather large project"? Are they worried that a little new blood on the Commission might stall their plans?
And by the way, the flier says it was paid for by the WPA, Shelton Chapter. Why doesn't the WPA website list a Shelton Chapter? So if there is no "Shelton Chapter", who paid for the flier? Inquiring NIMBY folk want to know! And maybe a few anarchists too!
Vote YES on Citizens' Initiatives 1 & 2 and YES on Prop 1
NIMBY = "Not In My Back Yard"
ReplyDeleteThese folk usually arise due to the presence of
PIYBY = "Put In Your Back Yard"
I received 7 pieces of political literature yesterday and this is the only one I have yet to recycle after reading. I think it deserves some special attention, but I have not decided what.

ReplyDeleteIf anyone wants information on the Shelton-Sanderson Chapter of the Washington Pilots Association they can contact the president, Brandon Harnish at 360-432-2065.
ReplyDeleteYes, we need to do more than complain.
ReplyDeleteLIED TO AGAIN!!
The Washington Pilots Association does NOT LIST Shelton as a Chapter. My, My, are we citizens surprised? Dobson is President of the WA Assoc. so don't bother complaining to him/them.
When will our Commissioners stop resorting to absolute, provable LIES when addressing the public?
We are MAD. Are You?
Hope the State Auditor's Office does not think all these blatant LIES are OK with them either!! We'll have to wait and see.
