Public savants, here to obstruct you…even in Napavine

Everyone has a soft spot for small town politics. The Seattle Times did a write up on Napavine’s young mayor, Nick Bozarth. It seems Bozarth is shaking things up a bit down there, mainly by acting like he serves the public and not the other way around.

The article is a good read and there is a bit of an “aha moment” at the bottom of the article. Bozarth wanted to get some info regarding the response time for the fire district and rather than give up the info, fire district's secretary, Linda Wolfe chose to throw down obstacles and excuses for not providing it. Wolfe is filing a complaint that his looking into the situation is “harassment.”

Linda- if the Napavine gig doesn’t work out for you, there is a bright future for you working with Marti Maxwell here in the Thurston County Superior Court. Your work ethic is totally aligned with the court’s mission statement. If that doesn’t work, Ed Holm could certainly find a place for you in the prosecutor’s office. They have a best practices manual in the works on filing those harassment charges.
