Any proposal by Thurston County officials to construct a new courthouse is circumspect and should be met with maximum scrutiny. The county has a decades-long documented history of ignoring the will of the voters and making poor financial decisions on infrastructure and rental facilities such as the new admin building. Add to this the recent state audit findings after county commissioners chose to intentionally exclude the county auditor when purchasing over a million dollars in furniture for the atrium without competitive bids. There is a severe and justified lack of trust with county officials and there is no way I would support any multi-million dollar proposal by the county so they can mismanage another project at taxpayer expense. The most recent atrium boondoggle and state audit findings speak for themselves.
