Since Freeland is not a city but rather just simply part of Island County, it seems to me that the County should be tasked with finding appropriate funding.  We cannot expect Freeland rate payers to foot the entire bill without assistance.  The State of Washington should be kicking in some major funds as well so that Freeland rate payers have a reasonable chance of paying their fair share.  The longer this goes on the more expensive it will become.  Perhaps we can get some help from the Feds as well considering the Presidents "infrastructure" funding proposals.
