PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The following is a summary of
comments made by citizens in attendance at the meeting and
reflect their personal opinions:
• A citizen stated: 1) The proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP) is a great threat to democracy and sovereignty and
urged the Commissioners to look into it; and 2) Due to $23
trillion coming from foreign investors, the U.S. does not own
America any longer;
• A citizen stated: 1) There is great concern in Asia regarding the
TPP trade agreement and there would be grave implications
for our economy if it passes; and 2) At the most recent North
Hood Canal Chamber of Commerce meeting, a Quilcene
resident with extensive knowledge of glacier and climate
change spoke on those subjects; and
• A citizen stated: 1) He urged the Commissioners to stop the
TPP from going forward and express their opposition to the
higher ups in the democracy food chain; and 2) With the
County’s new broadband capability, all public records should
be placed online and meetings should be live streamed on the
internet via video.
