Friends:

If y'all know that the $10 million of Olympia PFD money combined with $5 million of Olympia funds earmarked for building a Conference Center could be spent on a swimming pool, a library, or West Bay land acquisition for Parks, then staying inactive about getting this on the ballot is apathetic, ignorant and downright foolish.

I presented the following information to the Olympia City Council on June 12. It was written in response to a telephone communication from Conference Center project manager and City of Olympia Senior Planner Steve Friddle who stated, "An EIS has not been done for the Conference Center," and that all pertinent information was on the project's website. On the website at this writing there is no reference to any environmental review for this project.
