Where did Ray say that, Ken?

I am shocked and disappointed that such a person is even being considered.

185 structures lost in Medical Lake!

Recived notice this afternoon from OK-WEN NF:

Campfires banned in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest starting August 18

SR20's still closed between Granite Creek and Newhalem according WA DOT site as of 8PM on 8/15

Just read on the m-net bb that it's near Blue Lake

I have all those figures, Pearl, and have scanned minutes to see if there's any mention of an official survey. Haven't found one yet.

Considering what I've personally witnessed happening during Wagner pool repairs and rehabs, it doesn't surprise me that there's a leak -- probably more than one. Nor ...

I've asked certain people who have either not answered or evaded answering my question.

I believe any survey of the Wagner Pool should be public knowledge -- should be as available as the proposed MAC data is ---

Why isn't it?

I'm not trying to change FOP's goals, just trying to find out why ...

I know all that, Chris. And after living here for 42 years, personally know many, maybe most, of the FOP.

I'm not questioning their wants or needs and do understand that most of them grew up during our society's 'toss-it' years.

Having worked in and around design and construction most of my life ...

I've been searching for any survey of the condition that Wagner Pool is in -- and why it's said to be 'beyond repair.'

Anyone have such a document -- or the link to access it?

We know there's a leak, and I read the "pipes are rusty" --- leaks are fixable and my pipes are rusty from condensation ...

Having read, and heard, a number of comments and claims that Wagner Pool is on its last season and that it's beyond repair, I began to look for the latest 'survey' or analysis of the facility.

Haven't found one yet -- did find this old article:

Great Response, Chris

Should be a Letter to the Editor so the folks that don't visit here can read it.

Personally, I believe the righteous thing that should have been done was to send a letter explaining the issue to every property owner who would be taxed regardless of where they vote.

Add the potential Proposition 1 Aquatics District tax levy to this and that would make the news really bad!!!"

For low & fixed income property owners in Twisp, the District 6 Annexation will add about 63 cents to the Town's levy ...

Ray has done really good work -- website and Facebook page. Besides getting folks online to visit and read the facts, all those opposed to this Prop need to help get folks advised.

I got the newspaper 'looking into it' -- that's a start. I know many seniors whi are not online do read the News. And ...

Wondering what would happen to the Park District if the Aquatic Center didn't get built?

Seems like it would continue on regardless. That's scary!

I took a look at what Seattle Parks is renting pool time for. To rent the whole pool during hours the pool would otherwise be open to the public is $200-$300 per hour, plus staff costs. So my ballpark estimate isn’t unrealistic.

I don't know about $250 an hour -- sounds like pie in the sky.

I do know after having kids and grandkids on our local swim team, that the parents are very interested, invested, and much involved, but - - -

I have quite a bit of trouble thinking the parents I associated with ftom all the area ...

Ditto from other thread on this subject.

Just thinking, mister__coffee, that most area swim teams are not active year round.

And wondering, if the center is a viable financial proposition,why is tax money needed?

And in that regard, being taxed without even the ...
