Port Executive Director John Dobson displays improperly splicedelectrical wire at the 4/19/11 Port of Shelton Commissioners' Meeting
FERRETING FACTS OUT FROM POLITICAL FICTION
Submitted to Shelton Blog by Tom Davis Mason County Progressive
The best way to tell if some higher-up at the Port of Shelton is lying is to see if their mouth is moving; such is the level of integrity we see these days at the Port.
Two meetings running now, John Dobson has brought improperly spliced or terminated pieces of electrical wire to Port meetings for a bit of show and tell. Ever the "Carney", Mr. Dobson raised the wire up for all to see how now is the time to spend, perhaps, tens of thousands of dollars on electrical repairs to fairground buildings.
I didn’t think too much of this spectacle at the first meeting, and just figured he was on a “Tool Guy” kick, or maybe he really had the safety of fair-goers in mind. But the second Port meeting brought even more sensational examples of bad electrical connections, and a little red flag popped up in the back of my head. With all the subtlety of a garbage truck dragging a dead moose through a field of potato chips, this guy is up to something.
On other fronts, I would be remiss if I did not address further the comments of pilot Dennis Frost’s recent letter to the Journal, in which he advises readers to access this blog to see the true nature of its contributors.
To this I would reply, what you see here is what you get, Dennis; no one smiles in your face and then trashes you behind your back. Here it is, warts and all, for everyone to see. So while our liberties, money and quality of life are being siphoned off by people who act civilly in public and then gut you when you’re not looking, you should be thankful there is still a place where you can experience the air of real truth on your face.
I suspect such honesty is a stranger to most folks - bitter pills being the most difficult to swallow - but isn’t it nice to know someone somewhere still has what it takes to ferret the facts out from the political fiction?
When it’s all said and done, Dennis, a bum by any other name is still a bum, and that’s the true nature of those you should be most concerned with.

Funny that Dennis never stated his relationship to the Port officals or Pilot Association in his letter to the editor. He still doesn't understand this is not just about them (Port) telling us what is best for us, it is them representing us.
ReplyDeleteI just want to ask, Was government created to promote private industry? Is that really the job of government? Shouldn't our local officals spend our money and their time on providing a service to the public?
Tom;
ReplyDeleteGreat job of outing the truth about this want to be huckster
who runs the Port of Shelton.
I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time.
What a picture you paint with those words.
Thanks for making my day.
Sounds like Dobson is looking to engage an electrical contractor to effect repairs who might be a friend or relative, of a friend or relative, of a POS Commissioner. This bears watching; as does everything the Port engages in these days.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if the Port's insurance Co. knows of this problem. Hupp made a comment on it at one of the Port meetings. Think the same type repairs were made at the marina??
