See readers, what happens when yours truly starts complaining about the lack of news coverage on the local primary elections. No sooner did I post my little rant and support Connie Beauavis for Port Commission, Port O Call must have read my little rant because the very next day (Sunday) this article appeared on their page:
The debate to end all debates!---by Doc Robinson, PORT O CALL
"So anyway, the League of Women voters held political debates recently so the people could see their candidates. About twelve people attended. The PDN could not be bothered to cover it. The League did not film it for you to watch later on YouTube."
(As I said, the candidates have now taken up the role of journalist, doing the job which the 'local" media should be doing)
They even confirmed much what I reported on Saturday on the Port Angeles Digest report, that Whethem has been absent on many of primary debates! And that he is pretty much ignoring this election, that could be because Calhoun who current sits on the Port Commission decided to pitch his tent in Beauavis camp not his. So, readers at least one of the local newspapers heard me complaining and jump into action and submitted a report on the primary election, lest I missed some articles about it on their page.
I gave these candidates opportunity to post their opinions on my page as well, but guess they decided to pine away for bigger coverage on the main stream media outlets. They forget 1500 voters voted on my side of the fence during my bid for the local city council in 2013. So, my words does carry some weight. But, nevertheless I am please to pitch my tent in Connie's camp.
