On Crosscut, retired Western Washington University journalism professor Floyd McKay provides an excellent summary of the Gateway Pacific Terminal scoping meetings, and a look ahead at what might happen next.
Among other things, McKay suggests that the county, Ecology and Army Corps of Engineers staffers who are reviewing the scoping testimony will likely refer key decisions to their bosses, and governor-elect Jay Inslee may be in the loop.
A very well written series of articles by Floyd McKay. I look forward to reading more of his contributions. Thank you for providing the link.
I love Floyd to death, and he taught me about this issue when I started researching, but he completely missed the point of what happened in Ferndale. He initially reported that there was a turnout there by supporters when, in fact, we now know that was funded by SSA with day laborers place holding for hand selected paid proxies (Alliance for Northwest Jobs and Exports employees), pols, union reps, and hall members using talking points provided by SSA based on gross misinformation.
I do agree with all of the ideas you have introduced to your post. They’re very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too quick for starters. May just you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
