Why on the face of it, are these nonsensical complaints even being investigated?

Nonsensical? The petitioners are spreading false information to gather signatures. I encountered one at the Convention Center who gave me the same spiel: Lower my water rates, protect the Bull Run Reservoir from being privatized, keep fluoride out of my water, etc. It's bad information. If the proponents want their position to be taken seriously, then they should present their side accurately.

If Craford wants to be taken seriously, he should stop talking like a Tea Party activist. This initiative is hardly about returning power to the people. We're back in that territory where the far right and far left are circling around to combine a set of conspiracy theories to enact public policy. In this case, its the businesses that Craford represents who are among some of the biggest ratepayers in the City combining with the Occupy folks who think that 7 elected PUD board members are going to be different somehow than 5 elected City Commissioners, because they are the "People's Utility District." *Twinkle Fingers* if you like this.

What we get from Craford are boogeyman arguments about "City Contractors" filing complaints because somehow they are in bed with the City. Audobon Society, a "City Contractor?" Bob Sallinger has more experience as a thorn in the City's side on environmental issues than he does as a shill for them.

Just when we thought we were done with the insane debates we had about fluoride, here comes another one. And no, I don't have a dog in this fight, and am not a City employee or contractor.

Please wait...
