The Port Townsend Paper Mill is a CHRONIC Air Polluter and seemingly Above the Law. PEOPLE, Air Quality, WATER, Animals BEFORE PROFIT.

The Port Townsend Paper mill has been documented to have been polluting the Port Townsend air for a VERY long time. The DEQ and the Local governing bodies have acted corruptly as far as I view it from the research I have done over 7 years. It is past Corruption that has enabled the Port Townsend Paper Mill in the past to POLLUTE our air and have only the consequence of fines, this does NOTHING to STOP the actually pollution.  However, it does PROVE that the PT paper mill is, does and has been violating the clean air act, and other clean air laws, as well as our civil right to Breath Clean Air.

It is not okay to pollute our Waters and our air so that a corporation can make millions of dollars and people can make a living poisoning us. It does not matter if thousands of jobs are created. If these jobs violate our right to clean air and clean water, if these jobs violate the rule of law, if these jobs harm the people, water, animals, plants and air of the community those jobs are in.

Hemp Jobs, clean energy jobs will be created, and TOXIC chronic law and human rights violators such at the Port Townsend Paper mill, will soon be a thing that once existed in a barbaric, lawless past that put corporation profits over clean air and water and the rights of the citizens of Earth.

The PT paper mill and other companies like it, get block grants, they get money to create jobs, money that could go to the individual people to create their own business and a way of life that is not a slave to a toxic producing corporation.

Banks get Billions in Bailouts, there is plenty of money out there, yet it is given to the greedy corporations to make slave jobs for you, jobs to give you busy work and actually harm the environment and other people. When you actually could be given the money direct. This is not about the mill workers making a living, there is money for them, corruption is controlling it.

There is nothing more important than clean air and clean water nothing at all. It is not okay to say that 300 people need the jobs so we look the other way while they poison our air, our waterways, our very lives. Jobs that poison the environment and affect the rest of us should not be jobs. And they are actually not operating legally it is corruption that is turning a blind eye.

IT IS SIMPLY NOT ok, nor lawful to say that we turn a blind eye because there is job creation, so create different jobs for those who want or need to live that lifestyle.  Jobs that HURT other people and POLLUTE are not "ok".



 If there is 300 jobs for example paying people to do something that harms other people the nose jobs should not be available as they directly harm other people 300 people is not worth the thousands of other people, water, animals, plants, and more that are harmed by the toxic are the mail already puts out and the massive amount of water the mill uses. Enfamil bottle the water and sold it that would be a better use than to pollute the water and put it back into the bay. Big Banks and big corporations get millions of dollars a year from taxpayers they give free money to create jobs that money could go directly to the people. It is not okay to say that the mill is given a pass to pollute the air and settled with the EPA and all these years of proof that it is polluting the air oh, it is not okay to do this and then say okay well there is a small percentage of people that have a job polluting the air so that's okay. It's not okay no matter how you look at it. If I set up a job in Port Townsend right now that polluted the air even 1/100 of what the mail does the Port Townsend County would not allow it.

The Port Townsend paper mill is old energy in an old business model and there are tons of clean energy jobs. The Port Townsend paper mill needs to be shut down and it will be shut down.
