Editor,

Just about one year ago, Island County finally filed its lawsuit against property owners on either side of Wonn Road, which had a public beach access since before statehood in 1889.

Congratulations to the commissioners for taking this important step, authorized by the prior panel of commissioners in 2009 who passed Resolution C-34-09.

Many of you and your friends were there and are on video on YouTube. To watch, type YouTube: “Wonn Road Island Co Commissioners’ Meeting” into your browser and watch this interesting exercise of democracy at work.
