Consumers, who can you trust?

A Wednesday letter writer bemoans the trust lost between current Mukilteo homeowners and entrepreneurs who built expensive homes there amid the proposal to introduce commercial flights at Paine Field.

There is a lesson in there somewhere, and I’m trying to flush it out. I think the lesson is that it is OK to trust your dentist, and it is OK to trust your uncle who happens to be a Ph.D. chemical engineer, and it is OK to trust the guy who teaches history classes at EvCC, but it is not OK to trust the entrepreneur that builds luxury homes.
