According to the white supremacist site Stormfront, there was recently a racist action in Olympia.

The Stormfront forum poster gave this info:

"Activists from Oregon and Washington held our White Man's March in Olympia. The event was well organized and succeeded without opposition or other problems. OR and WA activists who participated in this event have been working together for quite a while and are developing into a pretty solid team."

A link in that post is for the American Freedom Party. (Info on the American Freedom Party from SPLC )

In another thread on Stormfront there is a discussion about the name being "White Man's" instead of "White People's", the concern being that
white supremacist women were not being acknowledged. Someone responded stating "There were 6 women out of the 17 at our event in Olympia."

I spent some time recently complaining to the LOTT board (without much success so far) about the way LOTT plans to set the spending limits in its next water conservation program. (Basically, my point was that LOTT’s own study says keeping added water out of the system saves ratepayers $22.71 per gallon per day that building added facilities for treating more water would end up costing them, but that LOTT's new conservation plan isn’t willing to spend anything like that much to reduce the amount of water going into the system.)

Among other things, I pointed out that according to the numbers in LOTT’s consultant’s study they could literally give away free appliances to replace old ones that use more water and still be spending less than treating the conserved water would have cost ratepayers. (Right now, for example, they plan to offer a miserly $50 rebate on new washing machines, at a cost of $1.72 for each gallon per day that will keep out of the system.) I also offered some other suggestions about how they might make the program even more effective - like only replacing old, inefficient machines or specifying particularly cost effective new machines as the replacements.

Ironically, Puget Sound Energy is now giving new energy efficient washing machines away to customers with old inefficient machines, and installing them free.
