Look - you have to respect what Commissioner Johnson's tact is here.  She is a mother bear protecting her cubs (the Oak Harbor citizens dependent on the Navy presence).  She is doing what she got elected to do.

The problem is Hannold.  He lives north of Oak Harbor and basically is representing Oak Harbor and surrounds viewpoint.  Problem is, he is also over the entire Camano Island who benefits next to zero by the Navy being here.  

He has tilted the power of the board Republican and pro-Navy without there being able to be a discussion by the other side without financial consequences.

Hannold's term is up on December 2018.  This is the district that needs to change to even out the board and not just be the Navy's spokespersons.  If somebody replaced him from North Whidbey I'd hope it would be a conservative Democrat who will listen to all sides.  If he were to be replaced by a Republican hopefully it would be from a Camano Island resident who doesn't have a huge stake in the Navy.
