Karen Valenzuela wants to restore Puget Sound

Karen Valenzuela wants to restore Puget Sound. That's a great goal, Karen.
As a county commissioner, your statutory obligations are Public Safety, Health and Roads. If you want to restore the Puget Sound, why don't you go work for Puget Sound Partnership? That's their mission.
Did you forget that the county has a $4.5 million shortfall? Hmmm, let me see, turning the capitol lake to an estuary is estimated to cost about $230 million over the next 30 years. How much do you think that restoring the Puget Sound is going to cost? Er, that doesn't really matter now does it. It's not your money. Just charge impact fees and bankrupt small business owners, that should just about pay for it.
This is why we need common sense on the board of commissioners. It isn't that hard to focus on three things: Public Safety, Health and Roads. Now it's not sexy, flashy and probably won't get you in the Olympian -- but that's your job.
Didn't McLeod give you a manual when you took over for him? Perhaps he forgot where he put it.
