— from Walt Corbin —

It is a fault in our society that most of us don’t get involved with  local issues unless we perceived we are getting gored. Adding to that is the fact, many are just stressed out making a living.

But we need citizens to act as watchdogs of these various boards and committees. Not doing so a few years back cost our community thousands of dollars and deprived us of valuable light industrial land at the airport.

I cannot endorse a more faithful and rational person to represent our community than Pierrette  Guimond, who is running for Port Commissioner. As they say she will “have your back” on cost and consequential issue that are detrimental to Orcas.

Please consider casting your vote for her in November.
