Letter: Support Orange for port

By Peter Fels, VANCOUVER
Published: July 18, 2017, 6:00am

Don Orange is green; Kris Greene is not. Orange understands there is more to the port’s mission than just quick money. Greene supports the Tesoro-Savage oil terminal, at the expense of clean air and water and possible disasters of a huge explosion or oil spill.

The Washington Supreme Court found the port violated the law by negotiating in secret with Tesoro-Savage. It appears that Greene sees nothing wrong with the way the port conducted business. Orange will bring us clean air by openly conducting port business and listening to citizens. Vote for Orange for green jobs and a healthy community.
