Mike...that's funny...closedx to everyone but the tribes....hahaha...Almost seems like that. In years gone by the tribes would not even participate until the final meeting when they would swoop in and put the kibosh on everything that didn't drectly benefit them. Now they participate throughout the process and THEN put the kibosh on anything that does not have a "payback" of bonus to them. The meetings are open to the public but the real decisions are already setting themselves in stone. If you want to make a difference you have to be prepared this year for next year. The meeting in Lynnwood this coming week is an all day affair with lots of deal making in small groups with very little input from the public. Remember those backroom deals we talk about....

I am sitting here stalling from getting started on all the house work and paperwork staring me in the face...better suck it up and get busy
