4: October 1, 2017 Fire Chief’s salary is super fair and that’s just not fair to Gus!
5: October 1, 2017 Gus writes the longest article in his career about someone supposedly making a mountain out of a mole hill. The irony is lost on Gus.
6: October 1, 2017 A letter of admiration, Gus’s favorite form of self love.
7: October 1, 2017 Bias: ignoring what you don’t want to acknowledge. But, that does not mean it goes away in the real world.
8: October 1, 2017 Bias, bitterness, and bile - Gus’s rules to live by.

10: October 1, 2017 Gus takes loads of photos of former Fire Commissioner Shannon Tomsen because he’s a creep, part 1.
11: October 8, 2017 There’s room in the paper for only what Gus agrees with or likes. Funny how he’s never mentioned that the Hospital District agreed to pay over $7,000 of taxpayer money for a sign for the provider, Unity Care.
12: October 15, 2017 Gus’s well practiced recipe for assholery.

20: December 10, 2017 The Hospital District commissioners do not understand the meaning of a ‘special meeting’ or the term ‘executive session’ and they aren’t even embarrassed! But Gus is all over the Fire District to remind them of the purpose of executive sessions.
21: December 17, 2017 The Hospital District and Unity Care are thrilled with the 1% of patients who filled out their survey. That’s 7 people out of 541. There were 8 responses. Yep.
22: December 24, 2017 Santa gets secondary.
23: December 31, 2017 Gus just does not want full coverage of things he does not want full coverage of. And, watch Meg Olson and Pat Grubb run out of Fire District meetings - it’s funny that they appear to be embarrassed by their live’s work. We’re embarrassed for them too. Run Patty, run!

32: March 4, 2018 SMOKING GUN ALERT - Hospital District Chair Dick Williams expresses concern about keeping the clinic open due to finances. Oh ya, Superintendent Elaine Komusi resigns or is she simply jumping the sinking ship?
33: March 11, 2018 Democracy or intimidation?
34: March 18, 2018 Does the All Point Bulletin ever quote accurately? This is bias in the worst way.
35: March 25, 2018 Point Roberts Org chart, part 1.
36: April 1, 2018 Easter and April fools day occurred on the same day. You gotta admit that Gussy riding high on the bunny was cute.
37: April 8, 2018 Adam Rozyskie is a bully and a liar. Just watch the video for proof. And Hospital District commissioner Robin Nault jumps the sinking ship resigns. And Shannon asked Chair Dick Williams to go over their budget several times. No, no one has ever responded to that request.
38: April 15, 2018 The Hospital District’s finances are very scary! And, why so little savings after Virginia Lester left?
