Last spring, then Commissioner Angie Homola decided that, based on a petition presented to the Board of Commissioners by the Nortcliffe Community she wanted to establish procedures for the designation of additional “No Shooting Areas” throughout Island County through a petition method.
Homola’s initial effort with Commissioner Price-Johnson’s 100% support was to propose their ordinance for “No Shooting Areas” that would include private property, not just County owned property throughout Island County.
Not only was their proposal a usurpation of private property rights, but there were also some very serious infringements of the rights granted to private citizens under the 2nd Amendment. America is a Constitutional Republic, it is not a Democracy where the majority rules under all circumstances.
The motivation to enact a no shooting ordinance as per our State Laws should come from one source. That is the person and the department that is currently in charge of firearm safety issues, the Island County Sherriff.
Homola’s ordinance didn’t make it to a Commissioners meeting as an agenda item for approval before her job as Commissioner was terminated
BUT, sadly, it was resurrected by Commissioner Price Johnson a few weeks ago and once again the past outcry of many weeks by many against this ill-conceived, un manageable ordinance was heard loud and clear
At the Commissioners workshop March 6 it was declared DOA by Commissioner Board Chair Emerson and Homola‘s replacement Commissioner Jill Johnson, with a lot of support and agreement by Sheriff Brown, but not without a last gasp try from Price-Johnson
Price-Johnson is trying to save Homola’s gun ordinance and Homola, now a private citizen, is yelling from the audience “Point of order… Point of order” 
She was interrupting the meeting to make comments so her few fans and a professional cameraman she had with her could capture her “fighting for her constituents”
The following video of this meeting shows what happened
Board Chair Emerson declared Citizen Homola out of order and ignored her outburst… that shut her up
Evidently Homola still doesn’t realize she is no longer Commissioner and Pederson, Homola and Price-Johnson’s Planning Department Lackey is no longer around to serve them and WEAN…Pederson has joined Homola in the ex County employ club.

From Helen Price-Johnson’s comments near the end of that video, she absolutely does not know the difference between changing the speed limit on a PUBLIC road and depriving PRIVATE property owners of their rights.
Helen Price-Johnson’s own suggestion to as to how to proceed on this issue with the mindset that THIS issue boils down to the same thing as a group of neighbors petitioning the County Commissioners to change the speed limit on a PUBLIC roadway clearly shows that Helen Price-Johnson is a DANGEROUS politician.
If given the opportunity, Helen Price-Johnson would apparently GLEEFULLY TRAMPLE people’s PRIVATE property rights in the name of her liberal progressive DEMOCRAT DOGMA.
The more Helen Price-Johnson (D) claims, as in this video, that she is not trying to make this issue into an ideological, partisan issue, the more Helen Price-Johnson (D) shows that to be PRECISELY what she wants to do!
Sheriff Mark Brown has very effectively stripped away this issue to its core.
Angie Homola’s VERY out-of-order remarks also reflect a recent point of hers in a Soundoff Column in “What’s New Today?” where she wrote:
‘I will keep fighting for my bills to pass and I hope you will too.”
It surprises me NOT that voter-OUSTED-former-Commissioner Angie Homola (D) would disrupt that Commissioner’s meeting in such an absolutely DISRESPECTFUL manner to the two elected Commissioners in attendance (Jill Johnson (R) and Kelly Emerson (R).
We’ve been, for years, subjected to letters-to-the editor and pieces in “What’s New Today?” unsubstantially ALLEGING that Kelly Emerson is somehow disrespectful to the other County Commissioners. Now, however, we have PROOF of OUSTED-Commissioner Angie Homola behaving precisely in such a manner.
Yes, Angie Homola obviously needs to MOVE ON in her life…but as a private citizen who keeps her pie hole shut just like other private citizens, when it is RESPECTFUL to do so!

That is really good news and a good omen for Island County.
It is far past time to stop the manipulation of our county government by special interest groups. It is really good to see our commissioners making decisions for the benefit of the whole county and not bending to the will of small special interest groups like the Norcliffe homeowners group who wish change the whole county to suit a problem that only effects them and their neighbor.
-
It was also good that Sheriff Brown stepped up to the situation and agreed to moderate the issue. It seems logical and simple that the neighbors should agree on some shooting times and days scheduling, just to eliminate surprises. We certainly don’t need a global solution to a local issue.

I’m speechless (but not wordless) after watching the monumental waste of our commissioners’ time on this seemingly never-ending issue. If we have state and county laws in place, then let the Sheriff and his deputies do their jobs. Just because a neighborhood has concerns, or petitions the commissioners to “do something” about a purported “situation,” doesn’t mean a law or ordinance needs to be or will be enacted. They can petition that everyone driving past their houses must do so only in blue cars and at 5 mph. That doesn’t mean, as another poster noted, the majority rules and gets what it clamors for. It might work that way in Switzerland but we have elected officials who must make the tough decisions. If we don’t like their choices, we get them out of office.
Pretty funny when Chair Emerson addressed former commish Angie as “Ma’am” — as though Angie was an unknown derelict who wandered off the street. Polite but firm!

Great Job by Commissioners Kelly Emerson and Jill Johnson for ending the madness and the attempted taking of rights in this ordinance!!!

Any one know if that professional looking cameraman Homola had in tow recording everything work for a major TV station?
And then, later he was recording Homola’s performance for him and her fanclub in the rain
Did it ever make it to the evening news?

Thanks for the link Cliff
I was really pleased that Homola’s only moment captured by the cameraman was when she was shouting “Point of order and Kelly responded with you are out of order “MAM”
All of her performace speaking to the camera man and her cheerleaders in the rain outside the Commissioners room was cut
Homola was treated as if she wasn’t of any importance (which is true) and the real players in this saga were presented very well by Cannnel 5 TV
Homola made a fool of herself and this time didn’t even get any pictures like the one with the Admiral when she upstaged the Oak Harbor Delegation with their annual trip to DC to discuss NASW with Navy Brass and State’s DC politicians
No pictures for her ego wall or bookend awards this time
Poor plain ordinary citizwn Homola… ROFLMAOOnce again Homola, exposed her Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) i.e., the following symptoms:
*Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
*Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
*Believes that she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
Requires excessive admiration
*Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
*Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
*Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
*Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of her
*Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

It is nice to see that one of the first actions of our new BOICC chair was to gavel down Angie Homola for her out of order and inappropriate remarks. Of course Angie should have known better than to attempt to make a public comment during a work session where public comments are not allowed but then when you realize that Angie thinks she is speshul* it all comes into focus…
*Angie thinks she is speshul because she rides the short bus…

Little Helen Price Johnson can only be little Helen Price Johnson, living in her own liberal cage, thinking and speaking in clichés in her own petty way, unable. just like Angie, to see or comprehend reality, or how phony and classless she is. Helen Price Johnson needs to return to managing her successful businesses again.
RE Angie: What’s more to say? She’s been fired twice by Island County, and already admonished by the new Chairman of the Board of Commissioners.
