Greenbank Farm appraisal begins
Oct 10 2012, 10:13 AM Work is starting on information needed for establishing a conservation easement at Greenbank Farm. Commissioners for the Port of Coupeville, which owns the farm, recently approved a $9,000 contract with Edmonds-based Terra Valuations to conduct the appraisal. Leaders at the Port of Coupeville and Greenbank Farm want the conservation easement so it would add another layer of protection to the agricultural, recreational and environmentally sensitive lands that make up the bulk of the farm’s acreage.

Oct 10 2012, 10:15 AM In all the years I’ve been eligible to vote I have only exercised that right once. In my opinion, it’s always voting for two different evils. I believe politicians are only in it for their own personal gains/agendas; not working for or representing us! House candidate Hayes lacks substance
Oct 10 2012, 10:16 AM At the League of Women Voters forum in Anacortes last week, a question came up about timber sales and how they relate to funding education. Every candidate, including his opponent Tom Riggs, had a thoughtful answer and explanation – except for Dave Hayes, who said, “I don’t really understand how those two things are connected [chuckle, chuckle].” Casting my votes for Jeff and Jill
Oct 10 2012, 10:18 AM Election time is just around the corner. I’m sure most of you realize our local economy is not good and what our county government has been doing to property owners doesn’t help matters. A recent attempt by our county government to shove an overpriced, ill- advised sewer project down the throats of Freeland property owners is one example and, in my opinion, is NOT a dead issue but is just waiting to once again arise.

When a household makes a decision to live an extravagant lifestyle and not give back to the community that is also a moral (immoral?) decision. Likewise, the Federal budget is a moral issue.

Oct 10 2012, 10:21 AM I attended the Island County commissioners’ budget hearing last Monday. Commissioner Emerson remarked that her two colleagues had approved almost every tax, fee, assessment and regulation that ever was considered. She thought it wasn’t a good idea, both in general and in view of the recession. Vote the incumbents out
Oct 10 2012, 10:23 AM In the last three and a half years, Island County commissioners Helen Price Johnson and Angie Homola have demonstrated a blatant disregard for the will of Island County voters. Proposition 1, a huge tax increase pushed by these two Commissioners in 2010, was voted down by a resounding 70 percent of voters. But they simply ignored this mandate and, within weeks, imposed the Clean Water Utility tax that replaced the revenue denied by voters. They also gave themselves a blank check in this resolution to tax us as much and as often as they want without a vote.
