That Thompson Falls plant was a “bait and switch” all the way, and despite an outcry from a lot of residents, the County Commissioners supported it.
Nobody is alarmed at this type of behavior by our “representatives”? I don’t remember the specific story that the line came from, but I know it dealt with the holocaust…….”until they came for me.” Our gov’t is getting scarier and scarier. Funny how 1984 is not required reading anymore.
