Biting the Nails

Snow has fallen,
Winds have blown,

News is slow in coming.

Soon it will be time.
And decisions will be made.

Will the Ingraham Forest Stand?
What will DPD* decide?

What will the School District do?

We at Save the Trees, know what we will do.

We wait for the decision, we wait for our move.

Snow has gone,
Winds have blown,

A New Year awaits;
Resolutions made.

Plausible deniability?

Howdy,

Thanks for listening to our concerns about needlessly cutting down ninety-some trees at Ingraham High School.

I attended the SEPA hearing where I recall school district officials denying under oath the existence of any supporting information about a long range campus master plan. A few days ago our Public Disclosure request has revealed several such documents.

I believe the transcript of the SEPA Appeal Hearing will support this statement. Perhaps the transcript should be read by the school board so you can see for yourself what we appellants heard your staff & contractors say during those four days. They repeatedly said the one page drawing showing 4 options for potential construction sites was the ONLY written documentation, but this is not borne out by the facts.

Arboreally yours,
