NEWS BRIEFS
at this point would be speculative and thus
inappropriate.”
It is unclear what about Ernst’s presence
at the protest Cunningham wants to
censure. The board’s code of conduct says,
“Once a decision is reached, commissioners
will support the board decision even
though they might hold a minority
viewpoint,” but it does not appear than the
EWEB board has taken a position on
Seneca’s old-growth logging.
Cunningham had no comment.
“They are trying to say that I don’t have
freedom of speech as a public official,”
Ernst says.
She says she has not spoken in criticism
of EWEB, and her concerns at the protest
were with Seneca’s old-growth logging of
Trapper.
Federal Judge Thomas Coffin wrote in
his May 24 ruling on Trapper that the
public is entitled to be accurately informed
of the impact of the proposed action on
endangered species listed northern spotted
owls and be given “meaningful
opportunity” to weigh in. He wrote,
“Central decisions affecting the analysis
and approval of the Trapper timber sale
were based on a factual inaccuracy and the
public has yet to be informed of the actual
findings.”
As for EWEB and Ernst, “There are
important decisions coming up,” Ernst
says, from questions concerning the
utility’s rates to dam relicensing. The
censure issue, she says, “is taking time
away from the real work of EWEB.” —
