Mike Briggs' comment is partially covered below due to technical reasons.

Something that I haven't yet figured out seems to have corrupted the Blogger program and inadvertantly covered Mike Briggs' comment from the article in the post record. I am posting all of it here, hopefully unblocked.

I think it is really a shame that people of Washougal and all over East County have to subjected to the likes of Jon Russell and his aliases as he pokes fun at all of us, will not admit to his part in the missing funds of money, and basically thumbs his nose at all of us with these actions.


Anyone reading this- why does he get away with this kind of behavior? Why does he support Connie Jo Freeman, Caryn Plinkski and no one says "Boo" about this? Why does he take money from David Madore and it's ok? Doesn't anyone care?

I find this all very sad and distressing for Washougal.

Last night I attended a City Council meeting in Camas. It was a long one and very tense. And do you know what? Everyone acted like gentleman and ladies, everyone got their say, and no was upset even when a 7/0 came down against someone's wishes. And do you know why? Because it was very apparent to everyone, the side opposed to the project and the side in favor for the project, that everything was fair, above board, and all the city codes were followed. Newcomer City Councilman Tim Hazen said it best for me as he said out loud to the audience, "I want everyone to know NO ONE on the council as talked before hand about this issue and we all come here tonight to give our individual opinions and vote fairly". (or words to that effect)

Isn't this the kind of government that the people of Washougal want also?

When we all vote in this coming election I hope everyone reading this remembers how are Washougal Council acts, who is trying to do good for Washougal and who is trying just to promote themselves for another office or their own private agendas, who comes regularly to city council meetings, and who fights all the time and just stops Washougal from functioning well.

Please do this. Please remember and vote accordingly to whom you believe, in your hearts, is representing you the best in our town of Washougal and who wears funny masks, talks under different names, and support two complete unknown's for office.

For my vote, I plan to vote to keep Molly Coston and Rod Morris!
