09/22/2005: "Ding dong, the witch is dead..."

SCAPCA's Eric Skelton has resigned under political pressure.


In August, the board heard complaints from two local businesses, Inland Asphalt and Northwest Renovators, Inc., that SCAPCA was meddling in zoning decisions and too quick to hand out fines and penalties. At that meeting, renovators Mike Lee and Doug Gore accused SCAPCA of falsifying asbestos tests on property they'd purchased as an investment.

The accusation turned out to be meritless, according to an internal review presented to the SCAPCA board in September by staff attorney Michelle Wolkey.


Oh yeah, sure it was, Michelle.

SCAPCA has called a Special Board Meeting.

Perhaps they'll discuss the obvious self-dealing and conflict of interest issues that surround having your outside counsel (Michelle Pope) on your board.

With any luck, the new guy (or gal, whatever) will kick Matt Holmquist to the curb.
