Leonard Forsman has a lot of power. I remember him from NKHS and when I worked at Kiana Lodge with his family before the tribe purchased it. I remember when the totem pole was set on fire at NKHS.
His brother Tony owns Suquamish Seafoods. Of course he's going to stand up for the tribe. The tribe has taken the Navy to court over water quality issues. I'm surprised they don't want the ramp. They built a dock in Suquamish and non-tribal can use it.

Kilmer cares about the Navy. So did Dicks but Norm liked to fish.
