Jefferson County Courts: The Case of Travis Moegling and digging deep into the TRUTH about the Port Townsend Police and Who they Discriminate against Who They Beat.

Did the attack on Travis Moegling have anything to do with a Real Estate Vendetta or City Officials?  Was there anything to do with "Planning", Commissioners or those who wanted to discredit Travis Moegling?

"UPDATE: Travis Moegling who was arrested, tased and repeatedly punched by Port Townsend Police in June because he didn't have ID as a passenger in a car and who broke no laws had all the "Charges" dismissed by the Court this week as it was determined to be an unlawful seizure and unconstitutional arrest.

The Prosecutors office has indicated they will be appealing the Court decision to a higher Court. After speaking to an attorney in Seattle who handles appeals in Washington Supreme Court regularly and many cases that come out of Jefferson County Courts, he stated that this Prosecutor's office appeals more cases than any other jurisdiction in the State of Washington!

This is a troubling fact and is very clear that our local judicial system wastes huge amounts of tax dollar funds on their vindictive witch hunts. Even more troubling is the conduct of Judge Landes, who appeared to assist the Prosecutor in finding any reason for an Appeal and did so from the Bench and who also told the police involved in this violent incident that even though they acted inappropriately and beyond policy they "did a good job" Our local Court System is BROKEN and the people of Port Townsend and Jefferson County deserve better! Let's not take our Eyes off the NEXT election and replace Tyranny with better civil servants who respect due process and rule of law!"

Travis Moegling - Port Townsend Police Brutality

"This tasing incident has become a decimation of character. Whether the police were wrong or Travis was wrong is really for none of us to decide. What angers me the most is the character smearing that is going on. You cannot judge a man by one video and an article that was clearly written in favor of the police department. People should think before they speak such harsh words about a person and a ...situation they know very little about.

There is no law against going out for your 20 year reunion. The group was even responsible enough to have a designated drive. And you cannot judge a person by the way they respond to an attack while under the influence of alcohol and while being tased and beaten. Like Kim Meehan-Roulst said, you have that many volts running through you and see what comes out of your mouth…

If you read what the Leader and Peninsula Daily news are printing and you know Travis personally, I think you will agree that they are attacking this man’s character.

These are Travis's words regarding his recent tasing incident with the PT police department. “What's more disturbing to me is the character assassination going on. Stoked for those that are telling it straight! THANK YOU!!!!”

Here is what I know of Travis’s Character:

He has an awesome work ethic and a drive to excel. He has dreams and desires and he is willing to reach and stretch for them. He will not stand by while someone else is in need. He is kind-hearted, loving, brave and caring. He is extremely generous with his time and money. He is sure of himself and what he stands for. He is calm in spirit, content, happy, honest, patient and sensitive. He is trustworthy.

He stands firm on his beliefs and finds no shame in speaking about them. He unconditionally loves and encourages his children and gives them the support they need to excel. You may say this looks nothing like the man in the video or the man described in the papers. And that is my point!!!! His Character has been attacked and he has been made out to be a hardened criminal and trouble maker, which he is not.

If you know Travis Moegling, please post on one of the forums. Regardless of what you think of the tasing, give your testament as to his character. Travis needs some character witnesses on there and who better to give those than his friends and family that have known him for years.

Port Townsend News - Port Townsend Paper - PT AirWatchers -

"PORT TOWNSEND — Five environmental groups are proceeding with their appeal against Port Townsend Paper Corp.’s ongoing biomass project before the state Court of Appeals.

No Biomass Burn, the Olympic Environmental Council, the Olympic Forest Coalition, the World Temperate Rainforest Network and PT AirWatchers will file their first supporting brief by mid-July in an effort to get Port Townsend Paper to prepare an environmental impact statement on the project, Gretchen Brewer of PT AirWatchers said Tuesday.

The groups, which filed the notice of appeal May 9, are challenging an order entered April 11 by Thurston County Superior Court Judge Thomas McPhee that said further environmental review is unnecessary.

The $55 million project, expected to be completed next year, will expand the plant’s biomass facility to a 24-megawatt plant.

Brewer said in an earlier statement: “It is irresponsible to the community to allow the project to be built without a clear understanding of what it will do to our health, our forests, our roads, our waters.”

Brewer said the “ultra-fine” particulates that are produced by the burning of biomass — wood waste — for steam and electricity often lead to increased asthma, heart attacks and strokes.

“These are serious issues that need to be addressed,” she said.

Such particles are not specifically regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Chuck Madison, vice president of human resources for Port Townsend Paper, said Tuesday “there has been no recent progress” in the biomass project."

Port Commissioner Leif Erickson - "Port considers sale of 57 acres to Coast Seafoods"

"Port considers sale of 57 acres to Coast Seafoods"

"To counter rumors with fact, the Port of Port Townsend hosts a public meeting Thursday, July 19 to discuss the proposed sale of about 57 acres of property in Quilcene to Coast Seafoods Co.

Port Commissioner Leif Erickson and senior staff first met with five community leaders in Quilcene on June 19. Coast Seafoods had expressed a desire to purchase the property, a portion of which it already occupies under a long-term lease.

The July 19 public meeting is the first step in an open process, said Larry Crockett, port executive director, and a resolution is not anticipated before September.

“If we have a final decision by Labor Day, we’ll be doing good,” Crockett said.

The July 19 community meeting starts at 6 p.m. at the Quilcene Community Center, 294952 U.S. Highway 101. Coast Seafoods officials intend to take part in the discussion."

Plastic Bag Ban - Port Townsend News

"PORT TOWNSEND — Now that an ordinance forbidding single-use plastic bags in groceries and other stores has been passed by the Port Townsend City Council, the mayor would like the action to be known as more than a plastic-bag ban.

“I would like to see us develop a way to encourage people to use durable containers,” Mayor David King said.

“This should be our legacy.”

The City Council on Monday unanimously approved, on a second reading, the measure that is the only such law to be approved on the North Olympic Peninsula.

It previously was discussed at two meetings of the Special Projects Committee and by the full council June 2.

With the action, Port Townsend becomes the sixth Washington city to pass a similar ordinance, after Bainbridge Island, Bellingham, Edmonds, Issaquah, Mukilteo and Seattle.

Seattle's plastic-bag ban, which was approved in December, went into effect Sunday.

The Port Townsend ordinance will take effect Nov. 2, four months between passage and implementation.

Most of the cities allowed at least six months for education about the plan.

The timing of the Port Townsend ordinance is meant to coincide with the holiday season.

The city immediately will begin its education program, which will include contacting local merchants and helping them conform with the new rules. "
