Coordination: WE NEED ONLY ONE MINUT=
E OF
YOUR TIME
56% of the people in Lewis County are registered to
vote. Only 42% of the people in Lewis county voted in the 2010
election. We need to start taking action and informing our
neighbors about what is going on in our county because our
county officials do not inform us. There are about 20
major towns in Lewis County that need flyers hung up at; post offices,
gas stations, groceries stores, churches, etc. We need everyone =
to
do a little bit to get the word out fast when there is&nbs=
p;an
event (public hearing) that people need to be aware of and atten=
d in
the masses. Thankfully we will never know what would
have happened if the people did not alarm their neighbors a=
bout
the public hearing in Morton about the watershed
management plan.
* We are in need of volunteers to print off 1-5
flyers and hang them up at the stores they frequently shop or wo=
rk
at. A virtually effortless job and it makes a HUGE impact for o=
ur
community. We have volunteers to hang flyers at the following P=
ost
Offices: Mossyrock, Salkum, Ethel, Morton, Randle. Please email=
me the
locations you will hang flyers at so we know what areas are covered a=
nd
what area not.
* We also need people to attend City Council
meetings, Chamber of Commerce meetings, commissioner meetings,
school board meetings, planning meetings, etc., so we =
can
summarize the important happenings in a short email
and inform people. If you know someone who attends
meetings encourage them to contact me and give me a brief summary of =
what
is going on so it can be discussed at the next meeting and get
people informed.
* If you know of a meeting or public hearing/com=
ment
period please let me know so I can get the word out.
Department of Ecology: WATERSHED
MANAGEMENT - Senate bill to implement plan
Dept of Ecology is still working on implementing water=
shed
management thru the proposed WRIA's. Citizens are
realizing how watershed management will affect their everyday way of =
life
and take away their property rights. As citizens are waking up
Ecology is ignoring the voice of the people by proposing
legislation to the state with the same metering and monitoring
proposals. If this proposed legislation is adopted it will
change the rural lifestyle we know today.
- Plan allows Dept of Ecology to close basins and requ=
ire
mitigation
- Allows Dept of Ecology to establish quantity limits =
on
exempt wells
