With reserves gone, Transit axing staff, routes Director: ‘I take full responsibility for this situation’

By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A total of 24 employees will be laid off, Saturday bus service is being cancelled and five routes will be eliminated or changed due to financial problems uncovered at Island

Transit. Martha Rose, director of Island Transit, said she fired Financial Manager Barbara Savary in May after she disclosed that the agency didn’t have the money to pay $135,000 in bills. Rose said she was dumbfounded to discover

that Savary hadn’t been running the monthly cash flow analysis for years. She said the simple, internal report is not only a vital part of the job, but would have alerted the agency to cash flow concerns years ago. SEE CUTS, A5

Larger squadron options may delay Growler study By JANIS REID Staff reporter

the Island County Sheriff’s Department. Wallace said that Navy Search and Rescue and officials from Washington State Parks, North Whidbey Fire and Rescue and the Coast Guard responded to the report. Two helicopters were used in the search.

The Navy announced Friday its plans to consider larger EA-18G Growler squadrons as part of the Environmental Impact Statement it initiated last year. Including new alternatives in the EIS will likely require re-scoping of the project and push out the completion date, according to a news release issued Friday by Fleet Forces Command. A draft of the EIS is currently slated to be released next year, with an adoption date in 2016. The move is in response to Congress’ current discussions about appropriating funds to the U.S. Navy for additional Growlers, the news release said. “While it is unclear whether more Growlers will ultimately be procured, the Navy has decided to be proactive in analyzing the potential growth in the Growler inventory, in

COUPEVILLE

Janis Powell, business manager at the Whidbey Playhouse in Oak Harbor, got an unusual phone call Thursday morning. A film camp, evacuated from its home base by wildfires in north-central Washington and relocated to Coupeville, needed a place to show its students’ work. “They contacted me and said, ‘Here’s our plight. We have no place to put this on,’” Powell said. Quick coordination led to the playhouse lending a helping hand — the “3rd Annual Wild Mind Film Camp Film Festival” takes place at 8 p.m. Saturday. Featured will be 12 short documentaries, ranging from

the wildfires in and around Twisp, the camp’s home base, as well as subjects captured on Whidbey Island. The event is free and open to the public. The playhouse is located at 730 S.E. Midway Blvd. Wild Mind Film Camp is run by camp founder and filmmaker Peter J. Vogt, director Doug Pray and other notable industry professionals who specialize in documentaries. Vogt lives in Twisp, where adult students paid $3,000 to attend the 11-day camp, which started July 16. Two days later, as fires moved through the Methow Valley into Twisp, the film camp was forced to evacuate. An overnight stay in nearby Mazama led to a stop in Seattle and ultimately an arrival at the Willow Pond Lodge and Lake House in Coupeville on Sunday. “It’s been chaotic,” said Stefanie Malone, the film camp’s program manager. Malone said the group

had been operating under the threat of evacuation, but things changed dramatically July 18. “I walked out of the grocery store and there was all this dark smoke on the mountain behind you and you could see flames,” Malone said. Upon landing in Coupeville, some students focused immediately on Whidbey topics while others will present their five-minute documentaries on the wildfires and other topics and answer questions afterward. Jim Riney, a technical consultant who’s worked with several playhouse productions, is assisting the film camp in providing a suitable screen. A rehearsal originally scheduled Saturday night for the playhouse’s season-opening show, “The Odd Couple (Female Version),” was canceled to accommodate the film camp.

Unconventional candidates challenge party favorites Four vie for seat in 10th District By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

Two candidates backed by their respective parties are being challenged by party outsiders in the race for state representative, position 2 in the 10th Legislative District. Dave Hayes, a Republican from Camano Island, is seeking a second term. He faces three challengers in the primary election, including one candidate from his own party. Island County residents should have received their ballots in the mail. They should be returned by primary election day, which is Aug. 5. Oak Harbor resident Brien Lillquist, who admits to being unconventionally honest in his views, is running as a Republican. He previously sat on the North Whidbey Parks and Recreational District board and ran unsuccessfully for Oak Harbor School Board. His reason for running is without nuance. “I don’t like any of the people down there,” he said. “My main concern is that nothing seems to change.” Mount Vernon resident Nick Petrish, a Democrat, earned the endorsement of the Island County Democratic Party. He has many of the conventional views of Democrats, but a unique background. He grew up hunting and fishing in Anacortes and was an interrogator in the U.S. Army before becoming a union electrician; the Second Amendment and labor rights are both important to him. “I’m all about guns, gun safety and gun rights,” Petrish said, adding that

a practitical solution can be found for the background check issue. Oak Harbor resident David Sponheim is also running as a Democrat but has been spurned by the party. On its website, Island County Democratic Party warns against voting for Sponheim, stating that “he is not actually a Democrat. Don’t be confused!” Sponheim ran for president as a member of America’s Third Party, a centrist political party he cofounded, but he said his views most closely align with Democrats when it comes to the two major parties. However, Sponheim said in a letter to the Whidbey News-Times, “the Democratic Party is completely out of step with the people of America.” “I’m a fiscal conservative and a liberal on social issues,” he said. Sponheim and his partner, Sarah Hart, have an Internet video chat program. They talk politics and introduce a variety of creative solutions for world problems, including “a transcontinental mag-lev rail system.” Sponheim applied blackface to parody Barack Obama on his program. He maintains he’s not a racist and was just exercising his First

Amendment rights. The four candidates have diverse views on the issues, but agree that funding education will likely be the biggest issue facing state lawmakers in the wake of the McCleary decision. In that ruling, the state Supreme Court found lawmakers aren’t meeting their constitutional responsibility by fully funding education and must fix the problem by the 2017-18 school year. All four candidates said they agree that additional funding for schools should go directly to the classroom and not to bureaucracy. Hayes, who serves on the House Education Policy Committee, said he expects that McCleary will “absolutely overshadow everything else” during the next legislative session. Small reforms can help schools, he said, adding he plans to work with local school districts to propose a way to streamline the audit process. Hayes said he wants to prevent unfunded mandates on school districts and fully supports the House Republican’s policy of funding education first. Hayes said he doesn’t think a tax

increase is necessary and will only consider one as a last resort. He said lawmakers should be able to find savings in reforms and streamlining government. He said the exact number in the education shortfall is a moving target that needs to be settled once “basic education” is realistically defined. “People have been trying to grow the box of what is basic education,” he said. Lillquist said he has little faith in lawmakers to solve such a big problem . “My feeling is that the Legislature is going to wait until 2018 to do anything,” he said. The state simply doesn’t have the billions of dollars extra it would take to fully fund education, Lillquist said, adding part of the problem is that small, pet projects “nibble away” at the budget; but even without those expenditures, the money just isn’t there. Lillquist said he isn’t in favor of raising taxes to fund education, but he would make his voice heard in Olympia and in the district. “At least people would hear from me before the next election,” he said.

Petrish said he is more optimistic about the McCleary issues and believes solutions are out there. He said the state can raise money by closing corporate loopholes in tax law and “clawback” tax breaks from companies that don’t keep up their end of tax-break bargains. “Extorting politicians for corporate welfare is just wrong,” he said. He also proposed that the state could save billions of dollars by following North Dakota’s example and starting a state-owned bank. He said Bank of America makes billions by being the state’s banker, but he believes the taxpayers could be making that money. He suggests an interim step would be to bank with a credit union, which he believes would save money. “I don’t know if it would be enough, but it would be a start,” he said. Petrish said he would likely support a small sales tax increase to support education. Sponheim has many unique ideas for improving education and raising funds. He supports the legalization of recreational marijuana and believes it can be a goldmine for the state, but said progress in opening dispensaries has been too slow. He said the tax revenue could be appropriated to schools. Sponheim proposes that the state set up a scholarship fund that will be doled out to students based on test scores. He said he was a top student in high school, but later fell through the cracks. He said he feels that the nation still hasn’t recovered from the recession and he wouldn’t be in favor of raising taxes.

Freeland man charged with an unneighborly attack By JESSIE STENSLAND Staff reporter

A Freeland man is accused of slicing another man on the hand with a knife during an argument about video surveillance, court documents state. Prosecutors charged Thomas R. Hicks, 46, in Island County Superior Court July 11 with

CUTS CONTINUED FROM A1 Island Transit is an independent agency overseen by a board of directors. It offers fare-free transit and is funded by a nine-tenths of 1 percent sales tax and grants. The operating budget for this year is $12.2 million. Unbeknownst to her, Rose said, Savary was dipping into investments as expenses outpaced revenues for years on end. Rose said she found unpaid bills in Savary’s desk after she was gone. “We are implementing swift, decisive changes in service to fix the problem,” Rose said. “We expect to come out of the clouds in about a year.” Rose said she hopes to bring back employees and restore routes by the end of 2015. As a result of the shortfall, the transit board approved an $800,000 note — basically a bank loan — to pay bills. On top of that, the board OK’d issuance of a $1.5-million bond to pay the balance of the agency’s matching funds for the new transit facility near Coupeville. Both are supposed to be paid back by next summer. Still, people are upset. The layoff affects 22 percent of Island Transit employees, both office staff and bus operators. The Whidbey News-Times received multiple calls from transit employees who expressed anger, but who declined to talk on the record. Riders who rely on routes 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, or Saturday service, will also be affected; the routes being changed are in North, Central and South Whidbey. Island Transit is holding a series of community meetings in August to discuss the modifications and suspensions. Members of the agency’s board of directors said they were shocked by the revelation. “I am extremely disappointed and dismayed by this,” Island County Commissioner Helen Price-Johnson, a member of the transit board, wrote in an email. “My heart goes out to the riders, employees and their families impacted

second-degree assault. The alleged victim, a 54-year-old man, told the investigating deputy that he had some friends over on July 8 and they were sitting outside on the porch. He claimed Hicks, who is a neighbor, started videotaping them. The man said he walked over to Hicks to ask him to stop; Hicks allegedly pulled out

IT sets meetings Island Transit is holding community meetings to discuss emergency route suspensions to begin in September. The meetings are as follows: n 4-7 p.m., Friday, August 8, at the Langley Methodist Church to discuss Routes 5, 7 and 8, and Saturday service. n 4-7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 7, and Wednesday, Aug. 13, at the Freeland Library to discuss Routes 5, 7 and 8, and Saturday service. n 4-7 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 12, at the Coupeville Rec Hall to discuss Route 6 and Saturday service. n 5-8 p.m., Monday, Aug. 4, and 4-7 p.m., Monday, Aug. 11, at the Oak Harbor Library to discuss Routes 6, 9 and Saturday service. For information, call 360-678-7771, email info@ islandtransit.org or go to www.islandtransit.org

by service cuts. It is a big blow to the tradition of community confidence Island Transit has enjoyed. “Every aspect of this must be investigated, by internal audit and state audit. Also, I want assurance that there was no illegal activity.” Bob Clay, transit board member and Coupeville councilman, announced the developments during a recent Town Council meeting. Clay said the board didn’t see regular financial statements, but that will change. He said taxpayers trusted Island Transit with providing specific services. “We’re going to fail those people for a short time,” he said. Oak Harbor Councilman Jim Campbell, also a board member, said he doesn’t know what the future holds for Island Transit administration, but he feels Rose might have “lost credibility” in the eyes of the board. The story behind the financial mess is very complicated. It all unwound in May when Rose went into Savary’s office and the finance manager started crying because she didn’t have the money to pay the bills, according to Rose. “It was mind boggling,” she said. “My best guess is that she got in over her head and didn’t know what to do.” Rose said Savary appeared qualified for the job and was very good at other aspects of finance. After Savary was fired, Rose brought back the former finance manager, Sandra Kuykendall, whom Savary had succeeded, to get things

back in order. Rose also asked the state Auditor’s Office to come earlier than usual for the audit. During an interview this week, Kuykendall explained that she’s audited the records and developed a picture of what went wrong. She said Island Transit had $6.2 million in investments when she retired in January of 2010. Of that, $4 million was earmarked for the construction of a new facility. The rest essentially served as a reserve for the operating budget. “We have always been very healthy and very frugal,” she said. “When other transit agencies cut service during the recession, we didn’t have any problems.” Kuykendall said she did

a small kitchen knife and “swiped” at him, cutting the palm on his hand, according to the report by Deputy Sean Warwick with the Island County Sheriff’s Office. The deputy wrote that the cut was about an inch long and exposed the muscle and fat in his hand. Hicks denies cutting the man and said he never had a knife. He claims that the alleged cash flow analyses each month to ensure the agency was running in the black. If expenses outpaced revenues, she would warn Rose, who made small service adjustments to fix the problem. Such adjustments, when caught early, were “invisible” to the public, she said. From looking through the books, Kuykendall said she discovered that Savary had stopped doing the analyses after the first few months without telling Rose; as a result, she wasn’t able to warn the director or the board when the operations started running in the red. To cover the shortfall in operating expenses, Savary spent large portions of the investments as they matured, instead of reinvesting everything. By the end of 2010, about $500,000 of the investments were gone; another $700,000 was spent on operations in 2011, Kuykendall said. U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen helped Island Transit obtain an $18 million federal grant for the new facility in 2011. Island Transit needed to come up with $4.4 million in matching funds necessary. Rose said she thought the money was already in the bank. According to Kuykendall, however, investment funds continued to be raided to cover operating

expenses until only about half of the original $6.2 million remained. Kuykendall said Rose had every reason to believe the money earmarked for the facility was still there and was understandably “blindsided” when the bills came due and Island Transit came up short. As a result, Island Transit obtained the $1.5 million bond to raise the necessary match and a $800,000 note for operating expenses. Kuykendall said investments are now at zero. Kuykendall said she was surprised that state auditors didn’t identify the problems in their yearly audits. “It would have been nice if they had said, ‘Whoa, horsey, where’s all your cash?’” she said. Through it all, Rose claims that Savary never warned her about the cash flow problems. She said she didn’t think she had to micromanage the finance manager, but it’s something she will definitely do in the future. A News-Times reporter contacted Rose and a couple of IT’s board members about budget problems a month

ago, but none of them mentioned the impending layoffs, widespread route cuts or that the finance director was terminated because of the cash flow problems. Rose told the reporter that the “tri-county connector” in Skagit County was being modified and Everett connector canceled due to cuts in state transportation funding. Rose now says that she didn’t realize at that time that deep cuts at Island Transit would be necessary to right the ship. In fact, Rose said she flew home from a family vacation just weeks ago after being notified of the seriousness of the problem. Rose said the layoffs are being done in stages. Some people were laid off as of July 1 and others have until July 31. The 13 operators will be laid off on Sept. 1. “As the executive director of Island Transit, I take full responsibility for this situation,” she said. “Island Transit truly regrets the disruption in service to our community members and we deeply regret having to lay off some of our wonderful employees.”

NWPRD is governed by an elected Board of 5 Commissioners who volunteer their time and serve terms of four years. Monthly meetings are held according to a pre-approved annual schedule and generally happen on the third Thursday of every month at the John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool, 85 SE Jerome St., Oak Harbor WA 98277.

IN OUR OPINION

It’s time for Rose to turn over the keys Soon, the wheels on the bus won’t be going round and round all around the town — or the island for that matter. In fact, those wheels appear to be falling off. It was revealed this week that apparent financial mismanagement will result in major cuts in staffing and service at the fare-free transit system. This comes about a month after the Whidbey NewsTimes contacted Executive Director Martha Rose and asked about rumors that these cuts were coming down the pike. Rose shared a much less dire picture and failed to mention the financial manager was terminated. A couple of connectors would be lost, she said at the time. This week, it was shown that millions in transit investments were depleted to pay operating expenses over the last four years. Island Transit’s board essentially is taking out an $800,000 loan to cover monthly expenses. Meanwhile, Rose said she had no idea what was going on. Layoffs will be affecting 22 percent of Island Transit’s employees, both office staff and bus operators, and multiple routes and Saturday service will be cut. While Rose said this week she hopes to bring back employees and restore routes by the end of 2015, we are skeptical. We have to agree with transit board member and Oak Harbor Councilman Jim Campbell — Rose has lost creditability. Rose claims that Island Transit’s fired financial manager never warned her about cash flow problems. Akin to being the captain of a ship, it’s Rose’s job to know the financial condition of her operation. Reviewing reports on monthly income and expenses is not, as Rose called it, “micromanaging.” It’s earning your tax-funded paycheck. So, while Island Transit has a shiny new center on Central Whidbey, one complete with custom furnishings and a workout center, the tax-funded entity can’t afford to pay its monthly bills. It’s starting to sound like the critics were right — the fare-free transit model is unsustainable. “As the executive director of Island Transit, I take full responsibility for this situation,” Rose said after the full extent of the financial mess was discovered. The fact is, Rose was allowed to run an empire that provided little information to its board and the public.

Another transit board member, Coupeville Councilman Bob Clay, said the board didn’t see regular financial statements. “That will change,” Clay said. As it should change. The taxpayers were failed by a transit system that was, for years, presented as an example of sound management. Behind the wheel the entire time was Martha Rose. Rose is a goodperson, but it’s time for her to turn over the keys to Island Transit.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR County payroll

Most county employees utilizing direct deposit Editor, We would like to provide clarification and correction to statements in a (July 2) letter to the editor (written by Rick Shabo) regarding Island County payroll processes. The vast majority of Island County employees, about 97 percent, are paid by direct deposit each pay period. Over the past six years, we have encouraged all county employees to convert to direct deposit, which is a more efficient method of payroll and is less costly as stated. We routinely process payroll for approximately 435 county employees each pay period; except for about a dozen, all employees are paid by direct deposit. We print about a dozen paper checks each pay period to county employees who have chosen not to convert to direct deposit. Due to contractual agreements, we are

unable to mandate that these individuals agree to direct deposit. All new employees are required to receive their pay by direct deposit. This has many advantages, including immediate availability of funds on payday and no requirement for hand delivery as is the case with paper checks. Paper time sheets are the current system used by county departments. Employees complete their time sheet and submit it to their supervisor for approval. Supervisory oversight is required; therefore, no savings would be realized if this changed. Each department conducts data input of time sheets into the payroll system. Statute requires payroll records be retained for between three to 60 years depending upon the type of record. Governmental payroll processes and retention schedules are different from those of private sector. The county is investigating electronic time-keeping systems to ascertain if such a system would be more efficient for our organization than paper time sheets.

Adoption of such a system would be complicated for a variety of reasons, but we recognize that eventually this is probably the direction we will go. Sheilah Crider Auditor Oak Harbor

Treasurer race

County has paid for investment training Editor, Thank you for printing my previous letter concerning market value losses suffered by Island County related to investment strategies of the current treasurer. Since publication, I have learned from the Auditor’s Office that the finalized entry documenting the market value loss for 2013 was in the amount of $1,125,784. Apparently the original loss of $1,700,000 communicated by the treasurer in May has now been revised by her to a lower figure. SEE MORE LETTERS, A7

MORE LETTERS CONTINUED FROM, A6

In addition to the $1.125 million market value loss on county investments, realized gains of $10,732 on two sales and realized losses of $38,154 on nine sales occurred for a net loss on county investments of $1,153,206 for 2013. These are unaudited figures. Ana Maria d Nunez stated in the League of Women Voters’ forum on July 10 that the market loss was revised to $350,000. That was clearly false, and that was the point of my original letter to the editor last week. I suggested in my letter that she claim responsibility for the loss, but during a recent forum held by Island County’s “Old Goats,” she revised the loss figure to $1 million and has instead attributed the loss to “market conditions.” Her investment strategy of purchasing longer term securities to earn higher interest income in a low interest rate environment put the investments at risk of market value loss if interest rates rise, which is exactly what happened. The county has funded thousands of dollars on investment training for Nunez, but she still refuses to take responsibility for her failed strategy and this loss. I am asking that the local media publish this update to my letter of last week because I want to make sure the public has updated and corrected information related to the loss numbers recorded by the current treasurer. Anyone is welcome to contact me for a copy of my public records request showing the figures above; please use the information in this letter to make informed voting choices.

Commissioner race

Jacks has shown her commitment Editor, Our ballots are due Aug. 5 for Island County Commissioner District No. 3. I pray that people will do their homework and research who they are voting for. If you look at Karla Jacks, you will see she is the obvious choice for Island County Commissioner District No. 3. Karla has lived on Camano Island for 20-plus years raising three sons with her husband Jay. Her family roots go further back with grand-

parents owning summer property on Whidbey Island. Her boys will be the fifth generation enjoying the family property on Whidbey being raised on Camano. She earned her degree at Washington State University and master’s at Oklahoma City University. She has touched so many people’s lives in one way or another from small children to seniors. I will give you just three examples from her long list of accomplishments. Seniors — Jacks has been the executive director for the Camano Center since 2007 and helped build it to what it is today. One of the programs she has put into place for the Camano Island seniors is the Disaster Registry Program. This program pairs elders with a neighbor who can step in and check on them during heavy snows, storms and power outages. Teens — Karla was involved in Stanwood High School football, wrestling and swimming programs. In 2013 she led a fundraiser to replace the floor in the high school weight room as it was deemed unsafe. She also led fundraising to help the swim team have a place to practice for two years when the only pool in Stanwood closed. Elementary age — Karla co-wrote and piloted the Peer Buddy Program at Church Creek Elementary in 2000. This is a program designed to build friendships between children with disabilities and their peers. Our daughter was involved as a Peer Buddy in this program and she blossomed as a helper. This program is still being used in 2014 for children with disabilities in the Stanwood Camano School District and has impacted hundreds of children in our community by raising awareness and directly helping children struggling with disabilities. She took this program statewide and spoke to many schools and parent groups around Washington. She built a library of books to use in the school district for disability awareness. Jacks diligently meets with people to learn more about the county and assess its needs. As a part of her heritage, she is running for Island County commissioner to help make the right decisions for what is best for everyone who lives here for years to come. If you truly care about Island County’s future, vote Karla Jacks for Island County Commissioner District No. 3. Laurel Niven Camano Island

Betty Kemp

Betty Kemp, a longtime resident of Whidbey Island, Wash., peacefully passed away on June 25, 2014. Betty was a fireball, loved life, loved her dogs, had a smile that never ended and a laugh well known through the corridors of the Island County building, where she gave her all to the community. Betty J. Kemp retired as the director of General Services Administrator after 23 years of loved labor for this island. She thrived at what she did, and I know she loved all of her associates at the county as well. I mean all of you. Betty was predeceased by her father, Sam Mamaril, and daughter, Johnna Cannon. Betty is survived by her husband, Phil Coles; her mother, Glenda Mamaril; daughter, Janice Kemp; son, Donald Cannon; sister, Lorena Swann; brothers, JR (Sam) and James Mamaril; step-sons, Christopher (wife Colleen) and Russel Kemp; grandchildren, Richard Kemp, Aaron Kemp, Elizabeth Puckett, and Jody and Jennifer Kemp; greatgrandchildren, Astria Kemp and PJ and Teagon Puckett; and, finally, her best of friends, Carol Barnes, Cathy Carl and Don Mason. A Celebration of Life will be set for a later date.

RESCUE CONTINUED FROM A1 Every student was found, and no injuries were reported. George Degener with the Coast Guard said that both the Coast Guard and Navy deployed air crews to search for the students. Degener said the Navy also sent a rescue swimmer to help the students into their helicopter, then joined the two adult instructors who were on shore to help them into the Coast Guard’s heli-

copter. “This is a great example of how the two services are able to work together,” Degener said. Degener said the helicopters airlifted the boys and their instructors to Whidbey General Hospital, but only as a precaution. Following the incident, Degener said he would urge all kayakers to make sure they possess the necessary safety equipment before heading out. Because the boys’ instructors had radios, he said, they were able to receive help from emergency services a lot faster than

if they’d only been carrying cell phones. Degener said that, of the total of nine kayaks, five were secured on the beach, and two that were adrift were recovered. However, two kayaks were apparently still adrift and could pose a problem to navigation. Degener said anyone who spots the kayaks should alert the Coast Guard so they can try to retrieve them. n If you have any information about the kayaks, contact the Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound at 206-217-6001.

GROWLERS CONTINUED FROM A1 order to ensure full transparency with the public and local community,” the news release said. Currently, Electronic Attack Squadrons have five aircraft each. Under three new alternatives, squadrons would be increased to have seven or eight aircraft. Fleet Forces Command was directed by the Navy to incorporate these squadron alternatives in the EIS and are currently evaluating how the change will affect the timing of the

Saturday, July 26, 2014 • Whidbey News-Times

EIS. An announcement will be made to the public when a decision is reached. The number of Growlers in the Navy inventory, and the number ultimately based at NAS Whidbey Island, will depend on how many, if any, are funded by Congress, the news release said. The original scoping was looking at the impact of two additional expeditionary Growler squadrons and three additional aircraft to the training squadron at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. All three of the new alternatives would mean an increase in Growlers, pilots and support staff.
