Your Property Tax Dollars (Well?) Spent

Posted on 08/01 at 09:30 AM

Clallam County Commissioners expended $22,845.89 tax dollars to Hillis, Clark, Martin & Peterson, P.S for legal services in connection with the Western Washington Growth Management Hearings Board legal proceedings in Dry Creek Coalition and Futurewise v. Clallam County, case # 07-2-0018C.  This DOES NOT ACCOUNT for Clallam County funds expended by the Planning Department, Prosecuting Attiorney’s Office assistance and Commissioners staff.

WHY?  Because Clallam County Commissioners and Clallam County Staff continue to ignore the requirements of State Legislature generated law, i.e., requirements of the Growth Management Act.  Had Clallam County adapted Land Use ordinances and policy to the REQUIREMENTS of the Growth Management Act in 1990, they would not be faced with the complex and expensive efforts now required to make Clallam County land use and zoning meet State Law. Your Tax dollars are being wasted!!!
