Ferndale’s mayor faces probe
"City Council members Monday night unanimously called for an investigation of Mayor Jerry Landcastle’s conduct. ... The investigation comes after The Bellingham Herald reported Wednesday that the mayor told staff in March emails to fast-track the permitting process for Fairhaven Candy — despite the business not having adequate paperwork in to the city planning department — because the business would be good for the city and the owner was a local resident."
