This process has cost us the taxpayers upward of a quarter-million dollars to fight. If the county really wants to save money, let's cut the commissioners salary in half, and then they will be making exactly the same as a deputy with 15 years police experience. This lunacy must end. Let's pay deputies what they deserve. The commissioners recently gave high-ranking county staff members a huge raise.
Deputies do the toughest job in the county and deserve better.
The Sun reported that 40 people attended the commissioners' meeting seeking a ban on shooting in Olalla. I can get 40 people to attend a commissioners' meeting any time, just by offering to buy a bunch of winos lunch. As for Ms. Doran, wake up. Guns belong in every community, if you don't like them in your house, then don't have them. The Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees the right to keep and bear arms for all.
