Following up on the article about the Maury Island gravel mine from a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to point out that there was a profile last week in the Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber about the volunteer president of Preserve Our Islands, Amy Carey. Preserve Our Islands was one of the key players in the lawsuit seeking to block the barge dock
Carey, who is married to the old owner of the Crocodile, demonstrates the kind of preparation, sacrifices, and hard-line approach that it often takes to win progressive fights against wealthy corporate interests. Kind of like what is going on across America right now.
You can read about Amy Carey here.
Of course this isn’t going to stop anyone from using gravel, we’ll just get it from places we don’t know or care about.
Yeah, places that aren’t as sensitive as the shoreline of Puget Sound. That’s a good thing.
Old owner of Croc? Who, Peter Buck?
