Zita's interest in local food and ag biz is a perfect wedge to jam into the cogs of the port's corporate extraction machinery.<br /><br />If we can get Zita and hopefully soon someone else like her elected to port commission it will be game over for a local port that is more interested in serving big business profits/dying era of fossil fuels rather than real citizen desire for more recreation and a healthy divers food economy. <br /><br />The resource extraction-based colonialist philosophy of the port needs to be derailed and we need to start focusing on what we can do to add value to Thurston County small businesses. Hopefully soon big timber and fracker ruin will who constantly degrade the value of our city will no longer be welcome in our city!<br />Deanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09851382999379260748noreply@blogger.com
