That doesn't explain why she allowed Cobb's allegations to stand here, unchallenged. I'm ashamed that I allowed him to influence me now. I still don't see that the carbon-fiber recycling scam is anything more than corporate welfare for Boeing however.  That over a million $ of public money has resulted in pickle ball paddles, $5000 park benches, and non-recycled material seat backs still irks me, and I still believe more jobs could have been created  by providing micro-loans to local entrepreneurs. If my suggestion to build portable water filtration systems from carbon fiber is followed up on I might see some worth from this, however. This is a product that would exploit the strength & light weight of carbon fiber far better than park benches and address a critical need locally, and in any disaster zone.
Shame on Cobb. When I read that he'd taken a lot of money from a company doing business with the port I was surprised and disappointed. Perhaps other voters were too.
