Letter: Perez must defend democracy

February 8, 2025, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez’s town hall last week attracted an overflow crowd. Before she entered the room, I asked her to defend democracy. Read story

Letter: Tariff is hidden tax

Letter: Support Evergreen schools

February 8, 2025, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: Trump quick to place blame

Letter: Don’t rush to judgment

February 8, 2025, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Diversity, inclusion and equity programs are not about hiring less-qualified people. They are about helping people who do hiring to see beyond their presumption that people who are not white and not male are inherently less qualified. Read story

Letter: Perez should plan better

February 7, 2025, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I attempted to attend the town hall in Salmon Creek hosted by our congresswoman. Unfortunately, for reasons no one on her staff seemed to know, the venue reserved was much too small. Did they honestly believe she would attract a small crowd? Someone really messed up. Read story

Letter: Legislature should fix priorities

February 7, 2025, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I’m reading that our beloved state legislators are considering a new tax on methane emissions from dairy and beef cattle (think ribeyes and your store’s milk cooler). Well, finally our underworked Olympians have a plan they can sink their teeth into. Read story
