So much disinformation, one might think the DES and Floyd Snyder are part of the Donald Trump Team of "disinformation." An independent group of professionals with a wide range of expertise have been tracking the "poorly developed and poorly documented facts to support the Estuary option" to manage the State's Capitol Lake. The State has failed to meet their responsibilities as outlined in the 1950/60's in managing the urban tidal estuary called Capital Lake. They last completed a "maintenance action" in the 1980's and now blame their failure on the natural conditions of the Deschutes Watershed and the Lake. They fail to interpret the Department of Ecology and County Health monitoring data (all a matter of public record) that show the natural treatment that occurs by the existing Lake's current arrangement to be very protective of water quality in Budd Inlet. Instead, they are allowing a small group of "no dam is a good dam" and a few zealous others to railroad a $50 million project of maintenance into a $500 million "boondoggle" that will forever destroy a success for the Olympia Waterfront and one that will cost future taxpayers will forever pay for a "failed decision by the City Council and the DES". Not a good story for the future of the City of Olympia or the future of Puget Sound' Don't believe me, look at the facts and ask difficult questions. Most of the DES public answers do not represent reality. Ask tough questions. Ask for answers in writing. This will allow our State Legislators to do some independent research and require the DES (and the consultant) to be more truthful with their "flippant answers. " Our independent team have raised the questions for the last ten years. --The States Response---don't confuse the public with the facts, we have our mind made up and we need to pay the piper.
