WATCH Camas Forum Rules
1. No Spam / Advertising / Self-promotion in the forums

2. Do not post “offensive” posts, links or images
We can have a discussion, but let's be good neighbors. No blatent defamation, harassment, or abuse. Nothing deemed generally obscene, racist or otherwise overly discriminatory is permitted on the forums. Use common sense while posting.
3. Do not cross post questions
Please refrain from posting the same question in several forums.

All posts should be neighborly and courteous. You have every right to disagree with your fellow community members and explain your perspective. But please do not blatently attack, degrade, insult, or otherwise belittle your neighbors.
5. No abusively "bumping" posts

6. Do not knowingly post copyright-infringing material
Providing or asking for information on how to illegally obtain copyrighted materials is forbidden.
7. No logical fallacies please
A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning. Logical fallacies are like tricks or illusions of thought, and they're often very sneakily used by dishonest folks to fool people and make them feel crazy. Common examples are: Straw Man, bandwagon, appeal to authority and gaslighting. See examples here: yourlogicalfallacyis.com
8. Please use your real name for your account.
We are real life neighbors in a real life town. This is the internet, but it's not THAT internet. We ask that you use your real name here (first and last).

Wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it all in real time.
I was thinking the same thing, Phil. It's like it was happening in slow motion. Hats off to the WATCHCamas Team for producing and sourcing this powerful expose.
A great military expression is “Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.” That saying exists because because people in positions of authority play games like this. Maybe the “strong mayor” of Camas will start to use some of that strength and let some heads roll over this utter BS. City employees need to stop insulting the hardworking taxpayers that pay their salaries. Man, this website arrived just in time. Camas absolutely needs to be WATCHED!!!!
Great article and spot on the target. Tommorow I will be sending a proposal to Camas City Council and Mayor Barry McDonnell to establish a Taxpayer Driven City Financial Taskforce with the Goal of Cutting Expenses.
@Douglas Strabel
Small town Mayors across America are speaking out and are worried.
“You can’t effectively shut down large segments of the economy, put people out of work, halt commerce and expect it to be business as usual for local governments. You can’t simply turn the economy off and on like a light switch. It doesn’t work that way. The economic impact will likely be devastating.”
