March 10, 2010 10:25 pm

I was looking forward to being a proud new citizen of Black Diamond since the January 2010 King County Council meeting which included my property with the latest annexation. In fact I am profoundly embarrassed by the actions of the current city employees and am outraged beyond civility by the current elected city government completely riding roughshod over the will of citizens and bending over backward for the interests of the developer YarrowBay.

Court ruling affirms Constitution; now, Legislature must act
February 26, 2010 4:56 pm

“Washington state is failing its children” is not a campaign slogan, not a political statement, not a platitude — this reality is now the subject of a recent Superior Court ruling declaring our state in violation of its constitutional “paramount duty” to make ample provision for the education of all students.

February 24, 2010 9:45 pm

The state Legislature is in the process of suspending our voter approved requirement that all tax increases require the approval of two-thirds of our representatives and senators. This is because they are considering adding a 1 percent sales tax, doubling the tax on your inheritance, tripling the tax on oil companies, therefore raising our gas prices and many more taxes. Many analysts predict thousands of jobs could be lost as a result.

With the Feb. 9 election just a few days away I appreciate the opportunity to ensure that voters have accurate information about the two replacement levy measures for Tahoma School District.
The school district’s official levy brochure is on the district Web page, www.tahomasd.us and the official King County voter’s pamphlet also is online at www.kingcounty.gov/elections.

February 3, 2010 10:54 pm

It is often stated that the success of our nation rides on future generations. When I moved to Maple Valley I learned a lot about the Tahoma School District. What I learned has made me a true believer in what Superintendent Mike Maryanski and the entire Tahoma School District team have created. What they have done is to create a first class education culture that people from around the country come to study in an attempt to replicate in their own districts. This is why the Greater Maple Valley-Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce has joined many others in endorsing the Tahoma School District levies.

Dear fellow Americans, we can do much better!
I am writing this on the day after Massachusetts residents used their God given rights as articulated in our Constitution to exercise their sovereignty in this country, to make their wishes known to our representative government. A main issue, of course, was health care.

As friends and patrons of the Black Diamond Library, we had to wait for more than a decade for a new library to be built in Black Diamond. Now that our community has enjoyed the benefits of our new library for more than a year, we do not wish to experience cuts in current library services or hours.

On Feb. 9 the Tahoma School District will put two levies up to a vote. These levies will no longer need a 60 percent approval to pass. The Legislature in Olympia changed the State law last year to allow school levies to pass with a simple majority. More yes votes equal pass; more no votes equal fail.

I don’t have children, but, at one time, I was one.
As an adult, I see and hear how parents, good and bad, treat children.
I know and knew then that nothing makes a greater difference in children’s lives than adults who teach them by example.
I’m not suggesting that Brandon is a bad parent, I don’t know him from Adam.
