Peter Goldman is the ‘poster boy’ for environmentalism without a heart. –P. Scott Cummins
I’m presently researching the relationship between Peter Goldmark and Peter Goldman. The reason I’m doing this is to see if Commissioner Goldmark has acted in Goldman’s best interests rather than the best interest of the public he serves. Unfortunately, the material I received contains what appears to be lengthy volumes of email between the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, Peter Goldman, and Tom Tuchmann of US Forest Capital to get together for a lunch meeting.
This data gathering is both boring and time consuming. One question I’ve come up with as I read though the material is who picks up the tab for lunches at Anthony’s and Wagner’s.
What sparked this research was an email I received about a month ago briefly explaining a situation between the PUD of Okanogan County and the actions Commissioner Goldmark was taking in regard to state trust lands. It looks like the PUD will be seeking to acquire state-owned land through a condemnation proceeding. On Goldmark’s part, he is standing by a delay of processing the PUD’s easement application and outlines 7 areas where the PUD failed to provide information.
In contrast to Commissioner Goldmark entangling the matter in the chains of bureaucracy, the Washington State Court stated,“The FEIS sufficiently discusses and estimates the environmental impacts and economic costs of Alternatives 2 and 4 to permit a reasonable comparison of alternatives as required by SEPA. The FEIS satisfies the rule of reason."
