Letter: Hold commissioner accountable

By Bob Wittenberg, Underwood

Published: October 26, 2018, 6:00am

Appointed Skamania PUD Commissioner Dan Boyes says he wants to hold the PUD accountable, but one of his first official actions after being appointed was to award more than a quarter-million dollars to the spouse of the commissioner who appointed him.

Confirm the above online at SkamaniaPUD.com and read the minutes under the “About Us” tab for Aug. 15 and 25, 2016. Also read about the Sept. 6 meeting, when attorney Ken Woodrich resigned because of the Sherry Esch lawsuit settlement.

Let’s hold Dan Boyes accountable.
