The wide-ranging measure emerged from Carrell’s tangling with the Department of Corrections over an official’s alleged ethics violations. The bill targets supervisors who allow ethics violations by subordinates, and attempts to make ethics investigations more independent from the agencies being investigated. It also aims to protect whistleblowers. Continued
Where do you think the money comes from? This past council laughs about the increased regulatory requirements eating up the budgeted money before any work was done.No worries just go to the tax payers cookie jar. Hahahahahaha. Ugh.Recognize anyone? Want them there again?
Whew! The cat fur is flying!The sjc dems are feeling the heat and putting out the usual threats.
Aren’t you a little bothered that I was pressured to remove the independent Trust Islanders!PAC information from our website? OK I understand the PAC did not want what is now spewing.The dems are making crazy accusations of loads of Republican money going to candidates not endorsed by the dems. Well I assure you there is no money going to the candidates from the SJCRP because it is a non partisan race.Look at the candidates PDC reports and see the truth.The SJCRP will respect the law. We will respect the County Charter.The dems want to control all independent thought and support.We are not to have a voice against them?
I think not.We saw their candidates lose locally in November and we will see it again:) Continued
With less than six weeks until San Juan County elects a new three-member county council, all six remaining candidates are hitting the campaign trail.
The revamped council, and the April 23 elections, are the result of revisions to the county charter proposed in 2012 by the Charter Revision Commission and approved by the voters in November, 2012. The revisions returned the council to three members elected countywide from “residency districts” comprising San Juan, Orcas and Lopez and their respective nearby smaller islands.
Nominated in a February, 2012, primary were Lovel Pratt and Bob Jarman from San Juan for District 1, Lisa Byers and Rich Hughes from Orcas Island for District 2, and Jamie Stephens and Brian McClerren from Lopez Island for District 3. Hughes, Stephens and Jarman are current incumbents on the present six-member council; Pratt is a former councilwoman who was defeated by Jarman in a 2012 council race; Byers is the director of OPAL Community Land Trust on Orcas; and McClerren is a Lopez resident making his first run for elective office.

I hope you are paying attention. Do you want people running our county who won’t stand up when they have made a mistake? Leadership involves taking blame when you are wrong and then finding a solution.The recent suit against last year’s county council members’ illegal private meetings should make you scream for the truth and transparency.Maybe since Fast and Furious and the Benghazi terrorist attack, standards have changed for those who think they can get away with it. Inform yourself and others about our election this month!
