GOLDMARK CHALLENGED TO PUBLIC DEBATE

Submitted to Shelton Blog by John Cox and Christine Armond Mason County Progressive
STOP ALL STATE BIOMASS PROJECTS
DNR DEMONSTRATION 2/16/11

A small number of dedicated activists braved the rain to witness Earth Cop
a.k.a. Duff Badgley deliver a citation to DNR Director Peter Goldmark
to cease & desist his organization's war on the environment.


The presentation of the citation took place inside the lobby
of the Department of Natural Resources office building.

DNR employees took a break to watch from the balcony & office windows.


As Goldmark was "unavailable" to personally participate, his
2nd in command, Leonard Young, DNR Supervisor, received
the Goldmark war on forests cease-and-desist order in his stead.


DNR arranged extra security for the event.


Friendly Earth Cop conversed with friendly security officer.


TCTV, Thurston County public TV, covered the event
& interviewed Earth Cop.



Shelton concerned citizen, Nate Johnson, was also interviewed
by Mike Coday for TCTV.


Pat Rasmussen, World Temperate Rainforest Network &
Olympia activist,
photographed a most memorable sign!


Earth Cop also challenged Goldmark to a one-on-one
public debate on the issue of biomass incineration.
Young said he would deliver the challenge to his superior.



Did you hear that Mr. Goldmark?
Do you accept the challenge?
EARTH COP SHALL RETURN!

  1. Because of the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United, Peter Goldmark knows he no longer has to pretend to work for the citizens.

    This helps explain the go #&%$ yourself attitude he has taken in response to those who oppose his mad plan to burn the peoples' trees, our "National Forests," in the furnaces of his friends and cronies.

    Department of Natural Resources' own records show that there is enough slash burned within the 50 mile radius of JUST ONE of the proposed biomass incinerators to operate the ADAGE facility for 9-1/2 days.

    What then, Peter Goldmark, what are they going to burn on day 10... when the "clean, woody, biomass" has all been scraped from the forest floor, hauled out of the woods, hauled into town, past the middle school, the senior living facilities, Hiawatha, and finally burned in the ADAGE incinerator. When that is gone, Peter Goldmark, what will they burn?

    When there are 18 biomass incinerators operating in the State of Washington, all competing for... for something to burn. What will Peter Goldmark do with the peoples' trees?

  2. I think those 18 are going to be just on the Olymic Peninsula... the figure for the entire state is even higher!
