The developers pay off the county commissioners and all is well.

Where all the flooding happened last year in Lewis Co., WA, the county commissioners are authorizing filling in more of the flood plain for more businesses to be built. When the next flood comes, the water will go higher and further. Their justification? "It's not illegal."

It isn't illegal because they don't want it to be illegal. If they cared about loss of life and property, it would have been illegal for a long time.

Follow the money.
