Lack of environmental enforcement

of some local developers is plain to see in this photo essay at the Lake Whatcom website. The WA Dept of Ecology has enforcement folks tooling around in their spiffy pickups, but no enforcement for this site. Also Whatcom County departments have jurisdiction here.

The Lake Whatcom website is one of the Whatcom Links always available to you in the right-hand column. If you know of a good local site, let me know and I'll post a link. It should actually provide good information useful to citizens who are active and vote. But it can have a left or right slant. The whole reason for this website is to provide info and links in a very easy-to-use format.
