Mr. Austin has stated villing to spend up to a mil- illa:.s on this project and in- shows vest another 3-4 million in rare au- tomobiles for an automotive/avia- tion museum, all for the benefit of this community.

Later on in an act of despera- tion she infers that he is not a reputable businessman and that he has no good business sense! Fi- nally when all else failed she chose to take a jab at my "ethics and in- tegrity." Let's review the facts. She complained to the sheriffs office, Port of Shelton and the county and it did no good because we broke no laws and operated under a lawful contract. Once again in an act of despera- tion she with the help of Norm Eveleth filed complaints with the Federal Aviation Administration. Even outgoing Port Commissioner Marlene Taylor sent a letter to the FAA asking the agency to reacti- vate the abandoned/decertified runway so that no one could use it! In response Port Commissioner Jack Miles and myself met with the FAA in Seattle. We listened to their concerns and they listened to ours. All is good, and we agreed to meet on the proposal after the election. She lost out again! I arranged to have these events at the non-aviation part of the port with the help of hundreds of dedi- cated volunteers and businesses. I worked with all of the state, coun- ty and federal entities as required with great success. The premise was to provide a revenue genera- tor for local entities to help this community. This was done at my own personal expense - an upfront investment of more than $50,000. She fails to inform the readers that more Island Lake residents showed up to support this pro- posal than to oppose it! And that when we announced our proposal to reduce the noise, it was pretty much agreed that a good compro- mise had been reached and was clearly accepted by some of those who originally objected, including some residents of Hidden Haven, which is adjacent to the port and closest to the track! Ms. Evans has been right about one thing. At the beginning of the meeting she announced that people have told her "that she is a trouble- maker with too much time on her hands/I question her knowledge, her ethics and her integrity.
