“This case that we’re dealing with here was 100% a decision by Commissioner Clouse to what it looks like, admittedly there’s some inappropriate action, but 100% her choice.
And that puts us in a completely different ball game.
I am not interested at all in having the taxpayers fund anything to do with this.
And, here we are we’ve spent thousands of dollars.
We’ve been contacted by legal firms.
We have a potential of some pretty serious damage against the county that can be very substantial.
And, I don’t think it had anything to do with county business.
And, we have conflicting information that has come out, even from Commissioner Clouse conflicting information, and so we don’t know the facts yet.”
Thurston County Commissioner Gary Edwards, September 3rd 2024
