WDFW Funding Clean Up of Homeless Camps
« on: December 23, 2016, 09:15:46 PM »
I heard it on the news twice now.
I think "OUR" money could be better spent.
And, who gives the agency permission for spending like this I wonder.

Well, all those license increases for 2017 need to go someplace.....and I don't think deer and elk are on the agenda.   :sry:

I would like to see some type of work party detail, where maybe those with little funds could work on some of these clean up projects in exchange for hunting/fishing license, tags, permit apps. Maybe open it up those Master Hunters who need hours.  Don't just throw money at it.

This may be the article. It's WDFW land.....

City of Centralia bulldozers removed about 21 tons of scrap metal, garbage and other debris Friday from an area formerly containing about four separate homeless encampments at the end of West Bridge Street.
 
The effort was part of continuing cleanup from a fire at a camp in the area in early November, said Centralia City Attorney Shannon Murphy-Olson.
 
“We’ve been working (with) WDFW, Department of Fish and Wildlife. It’s actually their property,” she said. “It was a pretty big disaster.”

In November, the Riverside Fire Authority estimated the brush fire was caused by a warming fire that got out of control. No burn restrictions were in effect at the time. The fire destroyed the contents of a campsite.

The WDFW will reimburse the city for the work to clean up the site, Murphy-Olson said.

City code enforcement officer Neil Hoium informed the homeless residents of the area, who were still living there until very recently, that the area would be bulldozed and cleaned out on Friday, she said.

“There was four main little camps down there and I would say that each camp was probably … about 20 feet by 30 feet,” said Kim Ashmore, Centralia’s street, stormwater and fleet manager, who was the city’s point of contact for the project. “The area looks bigger than it is.”

City crews filled several large dumpsters with trash and debris spread throughout the area.

“There was all kinds of metal and bike frames and left-over things from the fire. They were pretty well entrenched down there,” Murphy-Olson said.

Crews finished all of the work Friday, Ashmore said. On Monday, the city will spread straw over the disturbed land. In the spring, crews will spread  grass seeds and other plants.

“That’s just kind of a natural area so we want it to remain that way,” Ashmore said. “We’re going to be good stewards of the property.”

 The state should come up with a new license plate to fund the homeless, perhaps one with a pic of "the jungle" or maybe one with a bag lady pushing a shopping cart, that way liberals could proudly display their support on the back of their Prius and Subarus.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

So what happened to anti littering laws? You know the signs that say litter and it will hurt.
That which does not kill me should've had a better plan

A huge lack of enforcement of existing laws has led to these homeless camps in the first place.

I would buy that license if it had a picture of a bus ticket to California on it.

Until "WE" stop buying into their BS they will continue to lie and do shady crap behind our backs.

I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

How is this shady? Who do you think pays for garbage service on WDFW lands? Pays for the spent shell casings left on WDFW lands to be picked up  after people target shoot? It's WDFW. There's the whole WDFW lands program funded in part by the Discover Pass which helps fund garbage removal.

who do we think is paying/well make the litterer pay.you know in jail or community service like it used to be.I say used to be because courts don't do it any more,It was said to be unfair treatment.So back to the liberals.make the groups that support this way of life pay for it.as soon as they made welfare give a better less noticeable card for the recipients i new it was gonna get real bad. OH BUY THE WAY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY HUNTING, FISHING, AND OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS.
