Bad Move By Eureka City Council

I've been out of town the last few days but was disappointed to read, either in the Lost Coast Outpost or somewhere else, that the Eureka City Council ignored the advice I gave here previously about staying out of that oil pipeline fray in the Dakotas. But, nope, from what I'm reading they voted to send a letter in opposition to that pipeline. To whom, it's not clear.

As I wrote then, this isn't a city issue and they should stick to city issues. How would they feel if other cities wrote letters to whomever objecting to our desire to improve our harbor capabilities? We don't need an "activist" council meddling in other city and state affairs unless it directly affects the City of Eureka. This sort of thing makes me wonder why so called progressives complain about the current city council. Looks to me as if they're pretty progressive already.

The Humboldt Consequential has stronger words on this so I'll let his rant suffice. He wrote in part:

 "At the end of the day, this just seems like some extreme politically correct social justice warrior bullshit. Maybe they should start a Facebook petition, too? Then they can go back to doing nothing while feeling even better about how socially progressive and groovy they are."


  Point well made. The bottom line: Shame on the Eureka City Council.

Time to solicit outsiders to do a slam job on local fuckers!

It is bad when head up ass elected officials endorse something they have zero clue on....

Eureka is whacked, will always be whacked because of the voters who are whacked in majority!

Time to piss off John Chiv so he'll run for Eureka council and fuck shit up worse.

Right-wingers upset they've lost their stranglehold on the city.

Uh, whether the pipeline is built is a local issue everywhere in the continental US because it affects the entire country. Well, assuming you drive car it is, or breath air, or conduct commerce in any way, shape or form. Do you not understand how our economy and environment function?

Yo nameless, the pipeline is no more a local issue than Mars explorations.

How many people who oppose these pipelines DRIVE? yeah, right. Made my point. TOTAL HIPPYCRITES. And the tribal elders don't have Ford F150's? Give me a break. When you ride your bike to the city council meeting (and everywhere else), get back to me.
