Area resident Bob Zak expresses his frustration with area elected officials who are not listening to their constituents

I listened to Rep. John Ley’s update on the Interstate Bridge replacement project on Facebook. The actual “steps of action” that Interstate Bridge Replacement Program (IBR) Administrator Greg Johnson has taken to start the project means downtown Vancouver is being torn apart.

This is a “blood boiling” action by Johnson that is an abuse of power against “we the people” who have said NO so many times and yet the Democrat legislature, Vancouver City Council, with queen Anne (McEnerny-Ogle), and the four progressives of our County Council, continue on their plan to bring light rail to Clark County.
I hope this coming election, the folks that ignore us are voted out. Can anyone tell me what counties, if any, in this state, have elected officials that honor their “oath of office,” and follow the expressed will of “we the people?”
Portland, Oregon used to be the City of Roses, well those roses have withered and are now trampled under foot (Antifa rioters besiege the ICE Bldg). We the Evergreen State, with trees and grasses are turning brown and in some cases only charred remains of grasslands and forests remain – politically speaking.

Vancouver, Hazel Dell
