this mass mailer from Tesoro savages PR flacks just landed in my mailbox

I have nothing to say about this particular piece of drivel junk mail, except to note that the final decision on Tesoro savages oil by rail terminal does not rest in the hands of Vancouver City Council, as noted in prior posts on this topic.

Rather, the final decision on whether we have oil by rail is actually in the hands of Governor Inslee and his staff, who are likely, as insiders in Olympia indicate, to veto the oil by rail terminal.

hence I am not sure why Tesoro and the Port of Vancouver are spending so much money on this simply bark up the wrong tree. it annoys me, as well as 90% of my neighbors, to be getting this trash in our mailbox.

giving waste management and Don Benton spent 55 thousand dollars to promote his accomplishments as director of environmental services at County, I assume the oil people spent the same.

just to be sure, I will check with the public disclosure condition in Olympia to find out. Also I want to see too who is donating money to "people for tesoro", the name of this particular citizens group.

I am CC'ing the Vancouver City Council on this post 200 them to stand strong and vote no on oil by rail. I also urge tesoro to calm down.

  1. That mailer was one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in awhile. Right off the bat they state (rightfully) that the City Council's decision will not have any authority behind it. Since that's true, then why waste all that money sending out glossy 8 1/2 x 11 fliers telling the City Council that they are wrong?

Please, go ahead and say something - let me and others know what you think, how you feel, what should be done...what I didn't say, should have said...or how shrill I am/not shrill enough. Be assertive here.
