Glad to hear that Ms. Franz is out and circulating in the rural areas, getting feedback on her department’s plans. While this meeting may have been more talk than action, there needs to be talk first before action. We have far too much action without talk going on Washington D.C. these days. It seems that she prefers to listen, talk and then make decisions.

What recently elected state Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz received Thursday at a Clallam County Courthouse meeting packed with about 80 participants was an earful on topics ranging from unpredictable timber revenues to developing scuba-diving recreation opportunities. Paul Gottlieb reports. (Peninsula Daily News)
