It's a fair point, Lew. I included the link because I'd pulled it up to check his commissioner district, and wanted to make it easy for other folks to verify it. It's not as though the information isn't publicly available, and in any case Hart's a public figure.
That said, I'll take it down if Hart asks.
Speaking of which, here's Hart's response my e-mail:
"Thanks! I'm flattered. As per your invitation to accept denials, I do hereby deny any interest as a candidate in this race. No problem with having a little fun.
To clarify a sentence in the piece: commissioners must approve hiring and firing of non-elected department heads, but the county administrator is still the lead decision-maker in such situations.
"Appointment and removal of all non-elected County department heads shall be made by the county administrator with the advice and consent of the county board of commissioners."
@sadiemae - The position is theoretically full-time with full county benefits, and if you ask the commissioners they'll tell you they work more than 40 hours each week. The only problem is that they don't have a full-time supervisor ... so look for an article in the Columbian next week on that very issue.
Good point, Lew. I was leaving out the legislative races for this post to focus on county offices, but the state reps definitely have the potential to become active races, too.

Commissioners forsake mileage reimbursement
Since you asked, @VancouverView://www.co.clark.wa.us/bocc/emailform.asp. The commissioners' phone line is 360-397-2232.

It moves a little too fast for my taste -- I can't read both the headline and lede before it flips to the next image. Stressful!
That's just my opinion.

The city doesn't, but you can get them for cheap ($35 or something) from the county extension office. Ask for Jenifer or Erin:
