Port of Port Townsend candidates debate docks, money
PORT TOWNSEND -- Four candidates seeking two open spots on the Port of Port Townsend Board of Commissioners squared off for one final debate, primarily on the port's finances and infrastructure.
About 50 people attended the forum at the Port Townsend Masonic Lodge on Thursday night.
Bob Schuessler, 66, of Port Hadlock is challenging incumbent Commissioner Dave Thompson, 66, of Port Townsend for the Port of Port Townsend District 2 seat, and Leif Erickson, 58, of Port Ludlow is challenging incumbent Commissioner Herb Beck, 71, of Quilcene for the Port of Port Townsend District 3 seat.
Ballots were mailed Wednesday for the Nov. 3 general election.
Debate focused primarily on the port's finances and the dilapidated A/B Dock in Port Townsend Boat Haven marina.
A/B Dock
"All you have to do [to see a problem] is walk down and take a look at A/B Dock," Schuessler said.
"It's been neglected for years and years, and it's dangerous.
"The problem isn't the rates being charged, it's the bang for the buck people feel they get, and right now, they feel they are getting ignored."

2010 Budget Update & Initiative 1033
View a slide show of the 2010 Budget Update & Planning to Implement I-1033, presented October 12, 2009. As Jefferson County prepares its 2010 County Budget, this is an updated preview of the challenges to sustain current public services.
Under existing law, Jefferson County faces a $2 Million revenue gap it must close in the next 5 years. With I-1033, this gap would grow to $2.5 Million, and require annual expenditure reductions each year thereafter. This structural funding gap will force Jefferson County to consider discontinuing discretionary programs and lowering the level of service for many mandated programs. You can also view an earlier slide show of the 2010 Budget Update, presented August 10, 2009.
