More People Want Amy Trainer Exported

From letter to the editor, West Marin Citizen, July 10, 2014

Call for DBOC healing, but first…
Editor:
We are all aware of how divisive this
misadventure was, within our community
as well as within some families. A
number of people, Amy Trainer of the
EAC included, have called for a time of
healing.
I agree, we need a more united community
when the next environmental
challenge presents itself.
Within the past few months I reversed
my position on DBOC and concluded
that their time was up. I changed
my mind, not because their departure
would be a good idea or be beneficial
for the environment (it could have a
negative impact) but because the Secretary
of the Interior was within his legal
authority to decline an extension of a
lease, already expired.
This argument was not sufficient for
the opponents of the DBOC, the EAC in
particular, as well as the Sierra Club
and Earth Justice. They obfuscated the
argument with fabricated information
attacking the environmental stewardship
of the DBOC.
For healing to take place, those who
lied to us should not remain in positions
of responsibility. They should resign or
be fired. I wish that Amy Trainer were
the first to go.

The Most Hated Woman in Marin

 

After the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Drakes Bay Oyster Farm, opponents paraded out the abrasive Amy Trainer to offer sneering and chiding public responses. A graduate of "mean-girl" tactics who offers disturbing reminders of 7th grade playground hair-pulling bullies, Trainer managed, once again to offend an estimated 85 percent of Marin folk - the ones who support the oyster farmers and truly care about the farm workers who are about to lose their homes, jobs, schools and friends. These images are from yet another Amy-gloat while she discussed the fate of the farm workers. It's time for Amy to ride off in her kayak to create a disturbance in yet another community. She's unwelcome in Washington and Colorado. Her alpaca farmer-father in Kansas must be ashamed of what she's become.
Really, non-profit corporations, is this who you want as the face of environmentalism?
