TCBJ Political Index Debuts in Camas-Washougal Mayoral Race

  Camas WA - We have successfully used the CotoBuzz Journal's political index, or Poldex(c) for more than 10 years, but this is the first time we use it in the Camas- Washougal area. Poldex uses a simple but effective name recognition methodology as opposed to face recognition

The community is deep in controversy. In Washougal City Hall, without environmental studies nor residents input, the destroyed the Hartwood Park's natural habitat frequented by residents, in favor of an adult Disc Golf Course catering to a small specialized affinity group, albeit, disc golf is one of the fastest growing sports in modern times according to Discgolfmentor.com. The Disc golf course in Washougal happens to be located right  next to a children's park.

While the local media like the Columbian and the Camas Post Record have been very supportive of the Disc Golf Course project but has failed to report on the objections: To date the City has not addressed children's safety from errant discs or pedophiles, the reason for disturbing a natural habitat frequented by residents In favor of an outsider vocal minority  and nuisance residents already experiencing a concentration of vagrants & subsequent nuisance.

The two remaining candidates for Mayor in Washougal have failed to take a public stance on the project: Paul Greenle is and insider currently serving in the City Council. Rochelle Ramos seats in the City's Park Board

In Camas property taxes have gone up eight out of the last nine years. Then there is the $78 million pool bond, which failed 90-10 and a a drug detox center was located next to an elementary school - similar to the Washougal Disc Golf Course
