If NASA can use SpaceX, why is it Schools Don't Use Something Like Uber for School Buses?

 Camas, WA -  There is such  a severe shortage of bus drivers, that many states are considering calling 



in the National Guard to drive your kids to school.  There is also a shortage of Nannies & Merchandisers. 

Nurses, Doctors, Pilots. Police officers, coaches & Others are being terminated for lack of a vaccine passport.  We should note that Teachers unions influenced last-minute CDC school guidance and  received copies before public release.

Exacerbating the talent shortage, Americans are leaving the workplace in record numbers, either because the government pays to not work or they got used to not working

So why is it that school districts insist on being in the transportation business?   While the student population using buses has remained relatively flat for two decades, costs have spiraled out of control

The  according to the National Center for Education Statistics, the total number of students transported at taxpayers expense since 1980 has been relatively constant, but the expense per transported student in 1980, on an adjusted basis was $198, and by 2008 it exploded to $854 and  $982 by  2017 while sales of buses increased 45% between 2010 & 2019 


To be expected, the  #NSTA is proud of the work the industry is  doing 

So, Why is it that in a sharing economy, school districts are in the transportation business with

SpaceX Company

predictably sky rocketing expenses? While it is not rocket science, NASA figured out that it is most cost effective to focus on core competencies and  why it offloads some of  its work to others like Space-X and Jeff Bezos Blue Origin.

We can use ride sharing like Uber or Lyft.  We can even avoid hotels and stay at any of a number of B&B properties around the world.  What about calling Grubhub to get a snack while you digest this piece?


Yet school districts insist on being in the transportation business, usually citing the NIH Syndrome - Not invented here.  This type of mind set leads to wasteful spending like the Air Force $10,000 toilet seat .  For additional details on wasteful spending, refer to  Forbes  Adam Andrzejewskipiece titled  Where’s The Pork? U.S. Taxpayers Funded A Lot Of Wasteful Spending (2017-2019)

Another typical excuse used is that of children's safety.  Again, its not rocket science.  NASA has figured it out, and the school districts can do it just as easily 

A plausible explanation is the Teachers Unions, after all the Teachers Unions control the legislature in Blue States 

The Teachers Unions turned schools & universities into a  what we call a Devshirme System: more indoctrination less education 

Why graduates like 

  • NYT's Jody Rosen sees the Anthem as a bad song 

  • Public Radio's Renea Goddard torches squad cars 
  • NPR's Taylor Maloney complains communist's rights to kill cops is not popular 
  • NPR falsely claims Hunter Biden's laptop story discredited by intel agencies 
  • PBS' Yamiche is offended when she's asked to respect the flag 
  • NPR's Josie Huang  may think  it's  OK  to  charge at police  officers 
  • NPR uses FBI as a source to promote Critical Race Theory the Asian American Hate Hoax & the FALSE narrative that America is Racist .  The FBI's own 2020 Hate Crime Statistics show something different


Even woke FBI Director Christopher Wray says that Civics Education is a national imperative. Yet the FBI spied on the Trump campaign, was involved in the Jan 6th civil disorder & joins the Girl Scouts to promote the LGBT lifestyle.  Now the FBI is getting involved tin school board meetings, because according to the DOJ, there may be parents protesting during school board meetings and they can be considered domestic terrorists


The School Districts'  core competency should be education, not transportation.  Teaching critical thinking not indoctrination.  Yet politicians want to criminalize home schooling and school choice. Why? 

All reasons why we advocate abolishing the Department of Education

Washougal Answers Disc Golf Course Questions - The Wrong Ones



Washougal, WA - Today, Michelle Wright, Public Works Business Administrator, in an email, provided some answers to the City's Disc Golf Course Project - The wrong ones!



We believe the most important questions still need to be answered - For example
1. Accountability - will anyone be held accountable for unilaterally disturbing a natural Habitat and repurposing it for a a disc golf course?


2. Discrimination: the Disc Golf Course is discriminatory: it disturbed a natural Habitat with trails frequented by families, next to a toddlers park


And replaced it with an adult Disc Golf Course favored by a specialized adult affinity group - Next to a toddlers park More than likely, the displaced families pay property taxes, whereas the potential Disc golf course users do not


A disc golf course in ANY city is a poor financial decision, best handled by a private concern.


3. Safety - A disc golf course is incompatible with a toddlers park: The children may be hurt by errant discs and or pedophiles - Refer to today's daily FBI Press releases from just ONE office.



Today's FBI Headlines, in just ONE city

A disc golf course next to a children's park is like opening a liquor store next to an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting place

The safety issue csn only be addressed by unsightly fences- say like a Berlin Wall & heavy policing at night & on the weekends

NOTE: The consultant mentioned in your missive compares apples & crabapples: can he or she mention a disc golf course in ANY environmentally sensitive area next to a children's' park




Wrong Answers From the City

On Wednesday, October 20, 2021, 1:27 PM, Michelle Wright <Michelle.Wright@cityofwashougal.us> wrote:

“PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND ALL”

 

Good Morning,

 

The Parks Department would like to thank you for all the participation during our neighborhood outreach meetings.  The City has had some great conversations about the disc golf course.  The City has been working on addressing all the questions and concerns.  All the questions will be answered in a question-and-answer format below.  If the City missed anything, “please do not respond all,” but reach out to Kelly or I directly.

 

  1. What is the City’s goal for a disc golf course?
    • #1 design a course that will be an asset to the neighborhood and community and provide recreation opportunities for all ages and community members
    • Develop an outreach program with the neighbors to share the design, next steps, and balance between community needs and neighborhood happiness
    • Work with an Environmental firm to permit and complete any necessary mitigation for this course (which will require removing some of invasive blackberry bushes, which we have started)
    • The disc golf course design will be 9 holes, clear directional signage, and safe for the playground and walkers

 

  1. The City had a request to move out the tee pad for hole 6.
    • The City sent this request to the designer and will work on making this adjustment.

 

  1. The City had neighbor requests on hole 6 and 7 to plant Douglas Firs and vegetation to be a noise and visual barrier.
    • The City is picking up our first truck load of 15 Douglas Firs today, so once the City receives these, we will reach out to the neighbors that wanted to help with the plantings. Park Staff is ordering more Douglas Firs and White Oaks, but don’t have a final delivery date yet.

 

  1. The City had a question about disc golf tournaments.
    • The disc golf course is for the community and families and not a facility for tournaments.

 

  1. The neighbors have requested something be added to the main pole of the baskets to diminish the ringing noise.
    • Below is the fix for the disc basket chain ringing noise (we will monitor the effectiveness and make adjustments as needed):

 



 

  1. There is more smoking and cussing in the park now that the disc golf course is at the park.
    • Please note all the cities in the area are seeing an increase in usage and bad behavior at all parks.  The Park Board is working on updating our park rules, which hasn’t been done for several years.  This will be discussed at our 10/20/21 meeting.

 

  1. When was the Disc Golf Course discussed at Council or the Park Board Meetings?  Below is a list of previous discussions with dates:


  1. Why was this project NOT listed in your current Park Master Plan for 2021?
    • The disc golf course was under construction while the plan was being developed.  Please note it was included in the inventory section of the plan:



 


 

  1. Why was Hartwood park defined in the Park Plan as Neighborhood park?

 

Park Types

City parks are classified according to their function. The City classifies and defines parks by type to provide guidance for the siting, location and design of each park based on its intended purpose and role in the park system.

10.               Neighborhood Parks provide close-to-home recreation opportunities. These parks provide both active and passive recreation opportunities for people living within approximately one-half mile walking distance of the park.

  • Please note even if a park is defined a neighborhood park, it still can be used by the community.  The largest park maintained by the City of Washougal is the Hartwood/Campen Creek/Eldridge park.  The Park Board is looking for recreation activities for all ages and disc golf was one of those options.  Park Types can change as park change.

 

  1. How have you addressed the safety concerns?
    • This course has been designed by a professional all buffers, trails and playground were taken into consideration in all the design elements.
    • Clear signage has been designed for the course, to show course direction, mark wetland area, and safety signs.
    • There are not any baskets around the playground area and buffer
    • Trees will be installed in open field, buffer zone and Eldridge Park.
    • One bench will be moved to a new location
    • Split rail fence has been installed around the playground
    • Buffer zones of 30 to 40 ft have been proposed in the course design
    • Improved basket spacing
    • Restrooms have been made available
    • Park Rules are being updated to include no smoking and machetes aren’t allowed

 

  1. How will any liability be handled at Hartwood?
    • The City inquired about disc golf incident experience across the State with our pool insurance provider who provides coverage for many cities and parks agencies across the state. They reported that disc golf related incidents are not a significant issue for which they require or suggest any specific guidelines. They did agree with the approach that our designer is taking in redesigning   the course to have larger buffer zones decreasing the opportunity for conflict due to errant discs striking persons or property. Generally, liability at this location is covered similarly as all other City parks and facilities. 

 

  1. How can you use this land in other ways when the City used funding from the Recreation and Conservation Grant and the Park Conservation Grant?
    • Most of the purchase for the Hartwood/Eldridge/Campen Creek was with City funding and a Recreation and Conservation Office Grant, which has already approved disc golf.
    • We are working with the Legacy Land Team at Clark County re: the Conservation Futures Grant, which was a very small portion of the purchase.  They have preliminarily indicated that a disc golf course is compatible provided the types of measures we are incorporating into the redesign are done. We continue to work with them on this issue.

 

  1. Why wasn’t the environmental assessment done before the design of the disc golf course?
    • It is acknowledged that the City got out in front of this issue on this project. We have re-grouped and are ensuring that all necessary reviews and approvals are obtained. Preliminary information in this process indicates that our course re-design will likely meet requirements, but the process is still underway.

 

  1. Parking at Hartwood Park?
    • The City will monitor the parking at Hartwood, we will also research other parking options if this becomes necessary.  With the Park going to 9 holes, parking may not become an issue.

 

  1. What will the Environmental Assessment and mitigation plan provide?
    • Critical Area Assessment will involve the identification and mapping of the Campen Creek Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) and the boundaries of any wetlands identified within the project area. Wetlands will be identified and delineated in accordance with the methods described in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast (Version 2.0).

                                                               i.      Field data will be collected on standardized wetland determination data forms. Wetland determination plot locations, snapshot photograph locations, and wetland boundaries will be mapped using a GPS unit.

    • Following the field work, Environmental agency will complete a critical areas report that details the results of the field work. Identified wetlands will be rated according to the Western Washington Wetland Rating Forms which establish the wetland category and appropriate buffers as per the CAO.
    • The Critical Area report will include a discussion of functions currently provided by critical areas on the site that will serve as the baseline for determining appropriate mitigation.
    • Critical Area Mitigation Plan will quantify the footprint of proposed facilities and include narratives regarding the potential functional impacts to critical areas on the site which include riparian habitat and wetlands.

                                                               i.      The mitigation plan will detail the location and extent of proposed impacts as well as mitigation measures. The mitigation plan will include a narrative that address how the proposed mitigation measures will be completed.

 

  1. Once the mitigation plan is in place what’s next?
    • The City will share the plan with the neighbors
    • The City will be completing a Critical Areas Permit, SEPA Checklist, and Wetland Application

 

  1. Can I see a DRAFT map of the Disc Golf Course?

 

I hope this email has been informative and answered all your questions and concerns about the disc golf course; please let staff know if you have any further questions or concerns.

 

Sincerely,

2021 Washougal City Council Voting Guide


As CS Lewis might say:  You must pay taxes to make government not more responsive, but a more clever devil, so it can make you pay even more taxes!


Washougal WA - The candidates for the 2021 City Council can best be described as the Get Along Gang.  We expected the group to be engaging and to take a public position on the Disc Golf Course Project, a decision that disturbed the environment without any environmental permits nor residents' input, and puts children at risk, Their behavior is disappointing, to put it mildly.

We sent each qualified candidate a survey, and except for Ms Rochelle Ramos, candidate for Mayor of the City of Washougal, no one responded.

Below is a copy of the survey, Ms. Rochelle's response and our recommendations.


Survey


As you know, the Washougal City Council in what can best be described as a boneheaded decision & at worst, political malpractice; Without approved environmental studies nor residents' input, destroyed #HartwoodPark's natural habitat frequented by residents, in favor of an adult Disc Golf Course catering to a small outside vocal minority, right next to a children's park

To date

1. City has not addressed children's safety from errant discs or pedophiles

2 . Destroyed a natural Habitat frequented by residents In favor of an outsider vocal minority

3. Nuisance. residents already experiencing a concentration of vagrants & subsequent nuisance

A. What have you done for or against the Disc Golf Course project?

B. If elected, what are you prepared to do regarding the Disc Golf Course project

C. How would you rate the job the Teachers Union is doing,?

D. Do you support teaching kids Critical Race Theory

E. What are the top three issues facing the city & what do you plan to do about it?




The Sound of Silence

Sadly, only Ms Rochelle Ramos had the courage to respond with something that is worse than a non-response response: Paraphrasing her: "sorry, it's happening in my watch but I cannot do anything about it" - Such response is inconsistent with her leadership campaign rhetoric.

We also filed a Freedom of Information Act Request with the City's Parks Commission through Michele Wagner via email. We got no response By our count, the Board, which Ms. Ramos is a member of, has failed to comply with the Washington Freedom of Information Act




Rochelle Ramos sits on Parks Board, running for Mayor


We should note that Paul Greenle, running for Mayor, did not respond on behalf of the City or as an individual running for Mayor.
In his website, Greenle states that

 

" ... he goes to lots of trainings and conventions to bring back knowledge, and has completed the Association of WA Cities Advanced Certificate of Municipal Leadership, WA Department of Commerce NW Economic."

 

Rewarding Greenle with the title of Mayor would just make him a more clever devil





Paul Greenle - member of the Get Along Gang


We give the candidates the benefit of the doubt for their collective failure to respond to a survey. What cannot be overlooked is that none of the candidates has taken a public position for or against the Disc Golf  Course Project, either in Council Meetings or campaign stops. Hence the moniker The Get Along Gang!


Recommendations


1. If candidates are unwilling to talk to you before the election, or take a public position on important issues to the community, you can be sure you will never hear from them if they are elected.

2. The Disc Golf Course debacle illustrates that we now have a government that works for the government and not for the taxpayer. Voting for any incumbent is voting for more of the same

3. Voting for Greenle for Mayo is likewise a vote for more of the same

4. Voting for Ms Ramos is extremely risky, as she seems two-faced. However, she might be the best of the worse candidates for Mayor






Non-Response from Ms Ramos


From: Rochelle Ramos

Date:  Oct 3, 2021

Good morning,


I cannot do much about the Disc Golf Course at this time, my only influence is through being on the Washougal Park Board and we do not make the decisions, only recommendations for City Council to vote on. It’s their decision and more than likely the disc golf will be completed by the time I would take office in January. What I have been suggesting to those concerned is to attend a City Council meeting, they are held via Zoom, or send an email to the City Manager with concerns.

When Mayor, I’d like to focus more on what the Citizens of Washougal have asked for in regards to community spaces and spending.


As Mayor, I would not be the final say, I’d really only be one of seven City Council Members with a vote. That said, I feel I would be one decision maker who will ask questions, request input, and focus more on listening to what people want before giving my vote on anything.


Thank you for reaching out,

Rochelle Ramos

2021 Camas City Council Voters Guide

 Camas, WA:  We were looking forward to having a comprehensive Camas City Council Voting Guide,  expecting that candidates looking for a promotion or a city council position, would be more than willing to discuss their views with residents.  Sadly, we are totally disappointed.  

In the several decades of covering local politics, we have developed a number of heuristics, including this one:  "Donating to a candidate is so easy, a caveman can do it.  Reaching the candidate once elected, takes a lobbyist"

We now have developed a new one based on the non response from the Candidates for City Council:

" If candidates are unwilling to talk to you before the election, you can be sure you will never hear from them if they are elected.

The survey below includes what we thought were proper and  uber simple questions sent to all qualified city council candidates

Survey

1.  We think that anyone in  city politics involved in promoting the failed multimillion dollar swimming complex or remained silent, right when property taxes went through the roof is at best tone deafness & at worse, disqualified to run for public office 

Agree or Not? 

2.  A piece in the October issue on the Senescu Family seems like an ethical lapse. 

Agree or Not? 

3.  What do you think of the mandate to have children vaccinated against COVID 

4.  What do you think of the Teachers Union & Department of Education pushing Critical Race Theory? 

5.  In the sharing economy and so severe bus driver shortage that states are calling the National Guard 

And student base relatively constant for the last 30 years, but costs to drive students to school rose exponentially, why is it Teachers union still push to grow the transportation infrastructure?

6.  What are the top Five City issues & what can you do about it.

https://www.pdc.wa.gov/search?search_api_views_fulltext=Camas%20city%20council%202021&page=1


Endorsement

Since no single candidate had the courage to take a public position, what to do?

Here are some more heuristics:

1. Since we are not at a point where government works for government and NOT for taxpayers, a general rule should be to NOT promote or re-elect an incumbent, regardless of their claims

2.  Do not elect any candidate that promises new committees or bureaucracies unless they highlight how to eliminate at least ten of what we affectionately refer to as parasitic bureaucracies

While we think that the puff piece on the Senescu Family published by Camas Life is an ethical lapse at best,  we do agree with Mrs. Senescu:


Mrs. Senescu Political Flyer


Steve Hogan should not be re-elected, and instead Mrs. Senescu deserves a chance.  Although we would like to hear her explain the Camas Life story.

Mr Steve Hogan touts his leadership experience.  As CS Lewis might say, given Hogan's leadership experience, rewarding him with the position of Camas Mayor will just make him a more clever devil


Steve Hogan Political Flyer


Mr Gary Perman wants you to vote for him.  His political flyer's first bullet is To Provide better communication to citizens - yet he never responded to our survey.  He failed before he started!  But we give him the benefit of the doubt, and just like Mrs Senescu, residents need to keep a close eye on him, if elected

Gary Perman Political Flyer


As the rest of the candidates, checking Other, is most likely be the best thing you can do for the city,

How did we get to having a government that works for government and NOT the taxpayers?

 Washougal, WA - In case you missed it, the Washougal City Council


Updated Oct 26 with Clark County note.

in what can best be described as a boneheaded decision & at worst,  political malpractice, without approved environmental studies nor residents input, destroyed #HartwoodPark natural habitat frequented by residents, in favor of an adult #DiscGolfCourse catering to a small  outside vocal minority, right  next to a children's park 

To date 

1.  City has not addressed children's safety from errant discs or pedophiles 

2 .  Disturbing a natural habitat frequented by residents In favor of an outsider vocal minority 

3. Nuisance.  residents already experiencing a concentration of vagrants & subsequent nuisance 


There has been talk of accommodating the disgruntled residents by limiting the number of holes, from 18 to nine for example.  That is not acceptable, as the initial problems remain and no one is being held accountable for the ecological debacle.

Sadly, this is how government works for government and NOT for the taxpayers.

There are countless of tax-payer funded  agencies designed to help local government "make the right decisions", such as the one described below

But when boneheaded decisions are made, such as the Hartwood Park, the taxpayer's most effective option, and the most expensive is litigation.  Get the irony? 

Even The State of Washington's SEPA says environmental  jurisdiction for Hartwood Park falls on the City of Washougal-  which means it's just a matter of time before the City rubber stamps regulatory requirements

Washington State's SEPA - The Washington Legislature enacted the State Environmental Policy Act in 1971. Commonly called SEPA, the law helps state and local agencies identify environmental impacts likely result from projects and decisions - yet gives the City of Washougal jurisdiction to disturb natural habitat without consequences.  Does this make sense to you? 


Washington State's MRSC  is funded by local liquor taxes, including your wine taxes.  It believes the "most effective government is a well-informed local governmen"t, but when local government makes boneheaded decisions, Tracy Burrows suggests taxpayers find a land use attorney 

Washington States SAO  Accountability audits "evaluate whether a local government has adhered to applicable state laws, regulations and its own policies and procedures. We audit records to ensure public funds are accounted for and controls are in place to protect public resources." But when the City of Washougal fails to protect the public, the SAO ignores citizens:

Government working for government


We contacted SAO's Lindsay Osborne about the criteria used for the Washougal City audit, given the bone-headed decision but strong endorsement from Pat McCarthy both in writing and in social media.

Ms Osborne's response was non responsive and inconsistent with Ms. McCarthys letter to the city


Pat McCarthy's Letter to Washougal City Council

It should be noted that the SAO touts its new Culture Initiative - yet its own culture depicts a classic parasitic bureaucracy:  a waste of taxpayer money


Our next Step was to contact state Representative Larry Hoff:  His suggestion?  Call the Mayor of Washougal!

As if that was not enough, the Washington State Clark County Assessor is 12 week behind.  If you are disabled and filed for exemption, you are out of luck.  But the county wants you to pay your taxes when due, to avoid penalties.  Lets not even discuss how far the office was behind in 2019.

Washougal City Council #Hartwood Park Disc Golf Course Discussion

 Washougal, WA - If you were expecting to hear breakthrough news, major revelations or new insights regarding the City's s boneheaded decision &  poor handling of  the #HartwoodPark #DiscGolfCourse you should be disappointed

Representatives were unprepared, unable to answer basic questions, looking incompetent and unprofessional

The City has not addressed children's safety from errant discs or pedophiles 

The destruction of a natural Habitat frequented by residents In favor of an outsider vocal minority 

Nuisance resulting from the repurposing of a family trail, in favor of a disc golf course. Residents are already experiencing a concentration of vagrants & subsequent nuisance 

So, what could be worse?  Not a SINGLE candidate for a promotion or a seat in the City Council has taken a public position on the subject!  And this cannot be due to lack of information.  We have contacted EACH ONE!


WORSE

What can be even worse than this?  Bureaucracies like the State Auditors Office and The Municipal Research and Services center (mrsc.org).  

MRSC's funding comes from the city and county liquor revenues distributed by the State of Washington.  It claims to serve the community, like the City of Washougal,  "by providing legal and policy guidance on ANY topic."  But when the City destroys a natural habitat, MRSC's Tracy Burrows can only suggest residents hire a private land use attorney - Seriously!

Then there is the State Auditors Office who touts its new culture initiative and gives the City of Washougal a "Clean Bill of Health."  When we confront the SAO about its own contradictions and a clear culture of form versus substance, we get no response


This is how your government works 101 - or Not!

Islam, the Religion of Peace isn't. It's the Religion of Hate.

It took a president like Donald Trump to expose the mainstream media for what it is: a fraud.  Elites who think Americans are stupid, as CNN might say, and thus the average Anerican needs a heavy dose of regurgitated news that can be safely consumed by clueless, uneducated Trump supporters.

President Trump also exposed the corrupt weaponized federal bureaucracy he inherited from president Obama: The Trump administration's DOJ forced the Obama-FBI to apologize for having discriminated and disenfranchised thousands of conservative voters.

President Trump, first sitting president tom visit Western Wall



New revelations show that members of high level DOJ & FBI  operatives were all in for president Trump's political opponent, Hilary Clinton.  It's not a conspiracy theory:  Obama weaponized the federal bureaucracy to punish political foes and reward friends.

With president Trump's historical recognition recognizing history that clearly shows Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel, reasonable people would conclude that ultra conservative Muslims and terrorist organizations like Hamas & Hezbolla might call for days of rage or even intifadas.  But when practically the whole Muslim World goes postal, the only conclusion is that the long suspected religion of peace, isn't. Even Democrat-darling filthy, vulgar, hateful, antiSemite, antiAmerican,  antiChristian, Women's March Organizer Linda Sarsour, urges Muslims to NOT assimilate & castigates president Trump's proclamation.

The United States sends some $500 million/year to Palestinians.  Most of the money ends up in the hands of Hamas, Hezbollah leadership, which is then used to pay suicide bombers and their families. High time to rethink this aid.

As to Muslim Americans support for the president? Crickets.

So, don't ever lecture me that Islam is the religion of peace, because it isn't, it's the religion of hate. Thank president Trump for exposing this truism.
