Out on the Olympic Peninsula we have a county commissioner who brought his patty cake philosophy here from Berkeley. He says the same thing in speech after speech: "We are suffering an economic crisis that is not our fault. It is happening everywhere, even Europe".
Then he votes to down zone commercial zoning, deny business start ups, take private land for parks, halt timber harvests, limit water use and restrict building permits.
Sounds like Bellingham. A town run by liberal idiots. Our two choices for mayor in the election are two left wing commies who hate business and pander to the extreme enviro-left.
