The letter by Dan McShane in the current issue of the Weekly has a few errors in it regarding how Dan voted and such. He wrote the letter to defend his actions on the county council regarding Sudden Valley. I have been researching with the help of others to learn exactly what the record is on the whole Sudden Valley process and learn how far his letter strayed from the facts.
Today I learned that Dan is planning a letter with corrections to run in this coming Wednesday's issue of the Weekly. As such, it is appropriate to wait and read what he has to say before commenting further. Apparently Dan realized on his own that he made mistakes. In reading the letter, the concept of his making simple mistakes seemed a bit of a stretch. Sudden Valley is not some minor issue. I will read the correction letter carefully. Fair warning.
Oh - one more thing. Dan in his letter says he was "... the first environmentalist elected to the County Council in a decade." This is sad. He was first elected in 1999. Connie Hoag? She was elected in 1997, two years before Dan. Larry Harris in 1991 was an environmentalist. Ken Henderson in the 90s. And Barbara Brenner - who, while controversial, was first elected in 1991 and certainly cannot be dismissed with such a quick brush off. She has voted in a more environmental manner than McShane on some Lake Whatcom issues. That statement by Dan is unnecessary to his point and is unfair to others and betrays an unhealthy self centered attitude. Will he address this in his correction letter?
