Good morning friends and neighbors. I usually let rumor mills run, but a recent post said I am “not even on the Housing Authority board anymore, at least not legally,” and that my voter pamphlet is false.
That is not what the law or the minutes say.
On April 16, 2025, the Mason County Housing Authority minutes show I was elected chair. I have continued to serve. Under RCW 35.82.040, a housing authority commissioner holds office until a successor is appointed and qualifies, unless removed under the statute. The county website is out of date — it still lists me, misspelled, with an old term date. A website that has not been updated is not a removal.
I was not removed. Board appointments do not vanish the day a date on a webpage passes.
The rest of that post asks what I have done. On the Housing Authority we paid down debt, got roofs on buildings, cleaned up units, and improved the audit record from years of findings. On the City Council I have worked on public safety, cleanliness, and keeping costs down for residents. I will keep pointing people to minutes and results, not Facebook score-settling. Most people who actually know that story already know the difference between a stale webpage and the work.
Love you all. Have a great day y’all!!! George
