Do the right thing and clean up mess

Oh, my gosh! If my dock on Lake Shoecraft had fallen apart, I would have had to get out there and clean it up! First and foremost, because that’s the right thing to do. For the Tulalip Tribes to have the gall to check with our federal government at the Bureau of Indian Affairs to see who is responsible is ridiculous.

According to The Herald, it is the Frybergs’ dock. Get out there and clean up your mess!
