Tahoma on the map
The AP put Tahoma on the world map yesterday when they put the bear cub story in a capsule news item on the wire/net. John Wilkinson was identified in the story as the perp. F& G has charged him with the illegal take of a bear, wanton waste of a carcass,and failure to notify Fish and Game of the shooting. Each has a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $1000. fine.
All these penalties are sufficient in dealing with the miscreant. Stupidity cannot be legislated, it is oft said. The Mayor agrees.
While the local buzz will continue over this incident, we hope it does not deter visitors from making plans to vacation on the Westshore.
Summer is here, and we look forward to an enjoyable experience despite the bad press.
More on the backstory later.
