Olivia One Feather, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and Hunkpapa Lakota, said she was speaking for Mother Earth. "It's time for you to stand up for your children and do the right thing," she said to the port commission, before directing her attention to Bill Bryant specifically. "You grew up in Olympia. You went to Capital High School. So did I," she said. "Are you willing to give a presentation about your audio [released] at The Stranger and see if you still have the support of your alumni?" Alex Garland
Courtney Gregoire was absent at the last packed port commission meeting, but this time she supported a motion that will require the commission's vote for an extension of the Shell deal after two years. The motion still doesn't stop the port from mooring Shell's Arctic drilling fleet this year, or the next. Alex Garland
This guy testified in Google Glass? Alex Garland
