Why is Whetham getting a pass?
In today's edition of the Peninsula Daily news there's a report of yet another ethic violation charge this time not only on the Deputy Mayor, Cherie Kidd, but this time on Councilman Dan Gase. See PDN article headline: Second ethics complaint filed against Port Angeles deputy mayor, councilman.
Quoting the article posted: "Our Choice! attorney Gerald Steel, who wrote the complaint, said Gase was included because Gase was the only council member who left City Hall after Kidd adjourned the meeting."
Now, readers before anyone starts saying" There's Ripley picking on Lee Whetham again because he lost an election to him back in 2012. Let me stop you right there, if any other council member did what Whetham done during the meeting insinuating that the Deputy mayor ship was "fake", you barking up the wrong tree.
During after the first comment session Whetham use the phrase "real mayor" during his encounter with the deputy mayor, acting as mayor during that Feb. 2 meeting. Which by the way she was the "real" mayor during that meeting. Now, if Downie was sick, why was he on the phone? He should have assumed his postition as mayor if he could manged to be on the phone right? But this is beside the point. Why is Whetham's little swipe at Kidd being ignored by the local media outlets? Why hasn't anyone filed a complaint for his conduct during that meeting with that little exchange? Is it just because he is against fluoridation? If anything Whetham needs to make a public apology about inferring the deputy mayor's posting isnt "real" with that remark he made.

Now while we are busy letting our emotions getting to the better of us, we can't just ignore other council member's conduct while in the course of a meeting, just because that one council member just happens to side with those of the majority who are oppose the practice of fluoridation.

For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Romans 13:9-10 NKJV
