As publicity chairman for the Sequim Dungeness Hospital Guild, I am responding to the articles in the Sequim Gazette concerning administrative costs, etc., incurred by the Olympic Medical Foundation (“OMC Foundation under fire,” page A-1, Jan. 8 and “Foundation donors call for more transparency,” page A-1, Jan. 15).
I wish to address all of the people of Sequim, and every other small town for that matter. Before it’s too late, we need to ban together and “boycott the robot.”
We know that money has corrupted our politicians since the beginning of our democracy. Some congressmen take huge amounts of money from special interest groups, but only if they make laws that benefit them, and they do. So here’s the plan.
Let me understand this: Sherry Appleton, a State of Washington representative, in her quest to reduce the cost of justice (House Bill 2116), wishes to make felonies such as possession of “controlled substances” such as heroin, a much-used drug in Clallam County, a misdemeanor with a maximum $1,000 fine!

Anyone noticed that Obama doesn’t show any great attachment to the global warming “theory”? No emotional support for it?
Often, in a community like this, in a nation like this, one finds themselves presented with an ever more polarizing question: “Republican or Democrat?”
Awareness of trends in our state and federal government legislation is important for all of us in maintaining and protecting our individual freedom.
With the recent passing of I-502 on marijuana reform, commercial marijuana production businesses are now able to apply for licenses through the Washington State Liquor Control Board.
There is something wrong at the museum in Sequim! The wrong people are in control and the assets are being spent at an alarming rate.
Kudos to councilwoman Genaveve Starr, the only affirmative vote last week by the city council on the Initiative 502 issue for legalized marijuana retail sales in downtown Sequim.
I was reading “Letters to the Editor” in the Feb. 26 edition and it left me baffled.
A school bond, like the one coming to a vote in April, is not a levy. A levy gives the schools operating capitol. A bond helps fund capital projects (buildings).
