Don Benton Environmentalist?

Would you hire Don Benton as Director of Environmental Services for Clark County? Talk about hiring a fox to guard the environmental henhouse. This guy is a disaster.

He is the, State Republican Senator in the 17th LD. County Commissioner Madore and his lackey, Commissioner Tom Mielke, voted on May 1 to put Benton in the environmental job, while retaining his Senate post. This bypasses the normal hiring practices for County department heads. The environmental job salary has been $118,000.

There's data that says Benton is not qualified.

The third Commissioner, Steve Stuart, is justifiably angry over the proceedings and labelled it "political cronyism".

Benton has been very critical of the CRC bridge replacement project as have Madore and Mielke.

Join others on Tue May 07 at 6:00 PM at the Public Service Building, 1300 Franklin St, to discuss the error of Benton's appointment.

Drinking Liberally this Tuesday

This Tuesday evening at the Brick House, 15th and Main downtown Vancouver.
Al Franken is circulating a petition to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Concerned about the future of Medicare? This proposal can save $24 Billion a year. find the petition at http://www.alfranken.com/index.php/splash/e1304rx

Obama is bending over so far backward to reach a deal with the R's that his head is on the ground. Chained CPI is the latest cave in. Cutting back Social Security cost of living raises will affect seniors dramatically in the coming years. He is the first Democratic president to fail to protect Social Security.

Express your outrage this Tuesday starting at 7 PM. Then do something about it.
