A few years ago, I wrote to Mortenson about his health care position. He responded by referring me to the science of America’s Frontline Doctors, saying he follows their advice. If you google them, they’re listed as a right wing group led by Dr. Simone Gold. She recently was released from prison for participating in January 6th. I think that explains Mortenson’s position, more political than science-based.
Mortensen IMO works for himself and his cronies. He actively tries to subvert other programs that are "for the people" with 1/2 truths and inaccurate information. My interactions with him have been unproductive and his replies demeaning and combative. I think we need to make a concerted effort to find someone to run against him that can win.....
The Arne Mortensen's of this country go around asserting "woke"--when the reality is that it is his type (and cronies) that silence unbiased information and science-- when it does not suit their bias. The silence by the majority that signed on to this decision is troubling. There is no dialogue. There is no accountability. These types of people refuse to explain and provide details that justify their action. In my opinion, Cowlitz County citizens deserve engaged decision maker not petty tyrants.
This is very much an opinion piece. More of Andre’s continued attack on Mortensen. I’m not necessarily a fan of Mortensen, but Andre is really reaching here.
There are four board members, and you have a comment from one before the vote and one after. Hardly conclusive.
I’ve known Andre to be a great reporter and citizen. But I think he misses the mark here on reporting.
It’s very much Andre’s forum. So I can’t fault him for his own opinion. But it is presented as news.

“Elections have consequences.” In 70 years I’ve never felt my freedom as threatened as I do now. VOTE!!!
