Consider the years and years that local elected "representatives" and other decision makers have provided developers, within the city limits of Olympia, outrageous tax incentives - while incrementally raising property and sales taxes. And then - there's the Port of Olympia: A real SINKHOLE for taxpayers ... including a recent vote to increase the salary of the Port Executive [retroactive to January], even as she is placed on PAID administrative leave; a vote to INCREASE the number of Port Commissioners from three to five; AND one Port Commissioner voicing the possibility of a pay increase !!!! When said individual was ABSENT from the vote that reprimanded the Port Executive. How about elected officials and decision makers cut some fat before raising taxes - is THAT such a novel idea?
