Stronger Families. Stronger Communities. Stronger Washington

Thank you Gerry and Larry Bilyeu for the letter to the editor in the Daily Chronicle dated May 18th. The letter was in response to the Mellen Street Park and Ride and efforts to hold the State accountable.

Thank you to Bruce Foreman for his letter of April 25th regarding the RVs parked at the Mellen Street Park and Ride. It was an eyesore and certainly a sanitation and health issue.  We too, worried about the waste being thrown into the Chehalis River near there.

Thank you to Mr. Peter Abbarno for coming forward and making the necessary contacts to get the cleanup procedure started.

Thank you WSDOT for following through on the towing and clean up.

We appreciate how nice and clean the park and ride is again as of this date, May 12.

Gerry and Larry Bilyeu

The Letter was in Response to a video posted by Peter Abbarno, Centralia Mayor Pro-tem and Candidate for the State House of Representatives in the 20th Legislative District.

Peter Abbarno posted this video one day before WSDOT cleared the Mellen Street Park-and-Ride.

The Daily Chronicle wrote numerous features on this issue that has plagued Lewis County and counties along the I-5 corridor.
