Apology offered

To The Eagle:

I must ask, when did it become appropriate for an elected official, in a public hearing to proclaim, “I’m not going to get into a pi__ing contest with you?” Although not offensive, the statement was very unprofessional and very rude.

Therefore, I would like to offer an apology to Appellant, Mrs. Hamp and the entire Board of Equalization (BOE) for the behavior of County Assessor, Mr. Bill Coons.

Colleen Haley

Clerk, Wahkiakum County BOE
