The BIA and Realtors: reduced to lying to endorse democrats supporting the CRC for commissioner.

It used to be that the BIA and the Realtors weren't local fringe-left front groups.

Used to be.

Not any more.

Not unlike the democratian, they've been reduced to lying and ignoring the records of the two republicans running for Clark County in favor of the two democrats.

For example, this lie from the Realtors:

Commissioner Boldt has consistently demonstrated a pro-business philosophy in opposing fee hikes and taxes on business and citizens while serving on the Clark County Board of Commissioners.

This is a lie on a wide variety of levels.  The Realtors know it to be a lie, and they stated it anyway as a justification for their endorsement... and endorsement based entirely on Boldt's support of the CRC scam.

Boldt has repeatedly voted to and supported the increase of taxes and fees through out his tenure.

He has voted to raise our sales tax, voted to raise fees repeatedly, and voted to increase our property taxes 6 out of the last 8 years.

So, in short, the Realtors are liars.

Why is that?

She then fails to site any reason to support Tanner over Mielke, a man who has, in fact, repeatedly done what they falsely claim Boldt has done.

Why are they lying?

The BIA's kneepads about Tanner describe Mielke to a "t," save the founding of those lying scum at CRUDEC: $200 million in economic impact from the ballpark scam?

"he’s a business-friendly candidate who has demonstrated history, as a former state lawmaker and founding president of the Columbia River Economic Development Council, of creating jobs while bringing fresh ideas and energy to the table."

Lying to endorse a candidate, or overlooking the actual; history of Mielke's actions in the same area, combined with his representation of the people in opposing the CRC scam... well, that just shows the value of endorsements where truth has no place and the endorsement has no impact.
