Daniels discloses plan for 70,000 conventioneers plus. Call Congress and object!

Just before Daniels executed the lease for the central core of Saint Edward State Park, he revealed plan of 70,000 convention goers per year, with no cap on that number, at a semi-public meeting in early May 2018. The lease had gone through several revisions at the prompting of his attorneys with a "final" edition released to the broader public January 9, 2018, though that edition was not signed. Daniels executed the lease in June 2018, and to-date the signed lease has not been made public. The "final revised lease" is very general with no cap on the annual number of convention goers, and there is no ability for Washington State to cancel the lease if Daniels wants to change the use, which puts the State in an economically vulnerable position should Daniels renege on his public promises like a parking garage. The lease is illegal because there is no ability for the State to cancel the lease if Daniels changes the use. The federal Land and Water Conservation A

Senator Cantwell Rally for LWCF and explanation of LWCF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki7OH8ziszA

If you want to watch Senator Maria Cantwell in action at rally to fund Land and Water Conservation Fund, see the YouTube video link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki7OH8ziszA For those of you who would also like an explanation of the rally and the fund, its application to Saint Edward State Park, please read on. Rally for Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) this week showed strong support among conservation groups, Veterans, local manufacturers of camping equipment, and the inspirational City Council member from Tukwilla. The rally helped garner social media support for Congressional efforts to continue the Fund. The Fund is controlled by the Land and Water Conservation Act (LWCA) laws. The mission is to purchase lands and preserve lands for public outdoor recreational use. Purchases and projects include wild lands, City parks, State Parks, National Parks, and more. The justification is well said by those at the rally. At the rally we learned that the Senate likely wi

Kevin Daniels paid $1.5M to take over core of park. Public paid $3M for recent renovations.

Kevin Daniels, developer, paid $1.5M to take over core of park, three buildings and 5.5 acres with more land accessible for parking. In the lease, State Parks cannot deny any reasonable request of this developer, with "reasonable" in the lease, not defined. Daniels purchased waterfront land that does not equal what he is taking. Daniels deeded that land to State Parks June 22, 2018, then signed the lease. The McDonalds had been trying to sell this land for decades, at one time offering it to State Parks for $400,000. The lot had been shunned by developers because of its steep hazard slope and disappearing beach; the setbacks make it questionable as even one home building site. It is so steep, it can't be walked by many baby boomers. It is also geographically landlocked by a difficult easement. So, it is classified as "Natural" by State Ecology. Daniels recently disclosed that with the large number of convention goers he envisions per year -- 70,000 with no
