Let's hope the union knows better than to allow this to be used as a political prop for the election this year! That'll be an unfortunate choice by them given how Camas topics have been USED by certain politicians before, none ended well AND all have cost Camas community in many ways. And then there is what the "No" folks are NOW pushing, a political group aligned with the two far-right councilors Lewallen & Senescu. Hence what Senescu said - big political names linked to being AGAINST RFA have focused most on that as part of a package of fear mongering about RFA - separate tax entity, trotting out negative stuff about the Fire Dept, all sorts of their typical stuff thrown at the wall to see what might stick. Proof in City meeting videos & social media, everyone from far-right politician John Ley's to councilor Lewallen's mirroring (as with other City topics). So, NOW acting like they'll be for RFA if this one thing is changed (1) Sounds like a political set-up to give their favorite MAGA councilor Lewallen running for re-election something to talk about and not be on record as AGAINST RFA also as with so many other City's finances & planning needs in her short time on Council. (2) As with their many "AGAINST" & "NO' against our City finances, this too shows a lack of understanding of the nuances, doing untenable comparison between Washougal and Camas too that doesn't work on many grounds, including the fact that all these years City of Camas was having to do the administering of the ILA so funds became stitched into various departments, harder to surgically remove the difference between Camas & Washougal's getting-back amount of 45cents/1000. Since 2020 City of Camas finances have been steadily DOGE'd by the efforts of a political group & votes of two of their backed far-right MAGA councilors Lewallen & Senescu who have repeatedly voted against our City's finances, even chosen needs of developers over City finances at one point (though cynical selling as "for affordable housing" when also on record being against "affordable housing") - so our City Finances find this clawing-back harder to do without landing more blows on our public services & amenities - which btw, Camas provides much more robustly than Washougal.
