PORT ANGELES – What’s a U.S. senator to do?
About 20 Clallam County citizens and elected officials had a long list of tasks for Maria Cantwell, D-Mountlake Terrace, to tackle when they met three members of her staff Thursday.
Among their requests:
The Marine from Clallam County died after he threw himself onto a live grenade in 1944 and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
Some of the requests were nuts-and-bolts issues Cantwell’s staff deals with daily, like increasing federal funds to fight pollution and protect clean water, sought by county Environmental Health Director Andy Brastad.
Others were more politically philosophical.
