Having read Mr. Tom Pors’ response to Carol Bordin (Fish
and Wildlife) and his response to Snoqualmie Planning
Commission board member Duane Johnson, all Valley citizens and people who value
the beauty of the Falls should do three things.
1. Have a great deal of suspicion about Mr. Pors’ arrogance.
2. Be damned angry about his answer to Mr. Johnson’s question.
3. Pick up a pen and or e-mail a letter/letters to all your
representatives and all the agencies. And ask them
if Mr. Pors is right.
If you were not at the presentation, let me brief you. Mr. Johnson
asked Mr. Pors, “What happens when other agencies receive Ms. Bordin’s
report? And will they become involved?”
Mr. Pors answered, “This should not be a problem. Because other
agencies will recognize this as a quasi-judicial issue and know they have
no regulatory authority.” Further, Mr. Pors elaborates, in his years of
experience, “it makes no difference.”
I would say that even if it was quasi-judicial, one would expect
testimony and input from every aspect so as to have a good cross-analysis
to work from.”
If the citizens of King County, the Snoqualmie Valley and the state
of Washington really believe his bull, then do nothing!
P.S. We miss you all.
