Editor,

I just read the blasphemous COER filing of an injunction against OLF Coupeville.

This injunction puts into stark relief that the reality of reasoning with COER is impossible. The only solution COER will accept to subsidize their choice to encroach on OLF is the closure of OLF Coupeville regardless of the consequences.

Back in 2013, Island County Commissioner Helen Price Johnson took Central Whidbey surveys. According to the survey Ken Pickard filled out, he thought there was a “termination of our four-generational life on Ebey’s Prairie.”

I sure don’t see any termination in 2015. But I sure get that Pickard thinks it’d be good to “lose the oozing of pork grease at NAS Whidbey on paydays twice a month” as “The NAS base keeps the island dysfunctional” as per emails to  Price Johnson on COER’s behalf with COER spokespeople standing behind that venom.

Also, I’ve researched COER members’ property values as well above $350,000.

However, your newspaper wrote on April 22, “This seller’s market is particularly evident in the $200,000 and less homes coveted by first-time homebuyers and military personnel.” This affirms my belief COER has anti-Navy greed.

Ultimately, now that COER places greed over the safety of Navy service members, nothing COER can say will make even me listen.
