Endorsed Adage as ‘good for bizniz’ while Chair of Chamber
During a brief interview prior to the primary election at a candidates forum, Terri Jeffreys ignorantly opined the Dioxin in Oakland Bay (and Shelton Harbor) was ‘being cleaned up’. Yet Jeffreys argues her education and background make her the most qualified candidate for her district’s position as County Commissioner in Mason. Though ill informed about this and other vital public issues, she proved ‘brittle’ (refusing to ‘argue’ the point) and was a proponent (as chair of the area Chamber of Commerce) for the Adage biomassacre plant which would have added substantially to the burden Mason County now sustains as a result of Simpson (Green Diamond) dumping this most deadly of toxins down Shelton’s city sewers into Oakland Bay in the 80’s. Today, Shelton Harbor sediment has about the highest concentration (902ppt) of Dioxin contamination in the Puget Sound. The cleanup cost required is so enormous, not even the federal government has the funds to tackle it despite the catastrophic effect such contamination (cumulative) has on our food chain, our children, their children and children’s children.
A vote for Jeffreys is a vote for business as usual and Dioxin.
Oakland Bay: Shellfish nursery & Hotbed of DIOXIN contamination
Study: Pregnant rats pass down effects of dioxin exposure — to great-grandchildren
Studies of Dioxin’s effects in Vietnam
Washington State University researchers have found that the great-grandchildren of pregnant rats exposed to low doses of dioxin develop diseases and reproductive abnormalities — even though they did not have direct exposure. The finding challenges the traditional explanation of how traits are passed from one generation to another.
