Third District Supervisor John Wooley says alls good?

Fellow sand dweller Wooley was on Kins today talking with Brian Papstien KINS 980 am about the Headwaters funds and such. He made a comment about Redevelopment being a good thing and that maybe the process was moved too quickly. Excuse me John, were you asleep during the nearly $700,000 process that was deeply flawed on all sides? Even your Manila Community constituents knew better and held a special election to be removed from the process. And what monies from the Headwaters funds have created timber industry jobs, or at least comparable wage jobs? Oh, that would be none. The Spirit of the Headwaters funds was to replace lost timber industry jobs, right? Virginia Strom Martin (The best 1st District Assembly person we have had in a the last quarter century) presented the original check with Governor Gray Davis to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors with the intent of helping displaced workers! But ya'll have heard me chime in about this before. Just surprised to hear Wooley actually have an opinion. He seems to avoid that.

    How any of the Supes can say things are all good is scary at best.

    Redevelopment was given enough time and spent enough money trying to prove its worth. I guess since John had to recuse himself for a few years he might not have known what was going on. lol

    Richard the reason John doesn't give a straight out opinion often is that he lets his utterly far.far,far left government knows best philosophy out. He has learned to stroke his base and not ruffel the rest of us if at all possible. When you look at the money Wooley has made doing nothing compaired to our wages for hard labor you can see why he's such a big Government guy. As long as he's getting the money.

    I think if you ask him, you may find that "Brian Papstien" spells his last name "Papstein."

  13. I met John Wooley over thirty years ago and he was doing a lot of good. I am sure that is true today. Besides, what exactly is wrong with left?
