Huff forgets what the voters want
Huff forgets what the voters want
January 29, 2009 3:01 am

Voters here and in the rest of King County are a few days away from completing the change to putting an elected director in charge of the county elections department. Those advocating the switch – including the 56 percent “yes” from voters countywide in last November’s election in favor of revamping the job from a bureaucratic appointee to an elected official – want the position to, as much as possible, be free of partisanship and any related specter of possible political influences in the conduct of elections. Sherril Huff doesn’t seem to get that.

I so appreciated Mike West’s column (Jan. 9, “Selfish cell yakkers take advantage of wimpy law”) about people not thinking they need to obey the rule about use of cell phones while driving. How hard can it be to wait five minutes until you are out of your car?

The King County Council recently adopted the 2009 budget. It was the toughest budget in recent memory. A $93 million hole was filled by making tough choices, but the worst is yet to come. On top of these historic cuts, the county executive estimates that 2010 will bring another very large deficit.

As a mother-owned business, I know what a new, warm pair of pajamas can mean to any child during winter. But for a foster child who may be in a brand new situation during the holiday season, with none of his or her own belongings, it means tremendously more.

Krain Corner can’t be a bridge casualty
Krain Corner can’t be a bridge casualty
December 11, 2008 1:00 am

My partner and I saw a report a couple of days ago on the impact of the Green River Bridge closure at Black Diamond on the Krain Corner Inn on the corner of Southeast 400th Street and Black Diamond-Enumclaw Road in the outskirts of Enumclaw. KING 5 TV reported that Krain Corner Inn is struggling to survive, as their customers have dropped to a quarter of normal. We live in Maple Valley and had the idea for our community to put together a morning “Save the Inn” breakfast adventure to Krain Corner Inn. Twenty-five people from our community caravanned over the Black Diamond detour (a beautiful drive going past Flaming Geyser Park) and had a wonderful time socializing and enjoying the wonderful breakfasts at the Inn. We will make it a regular outing now and would like to suggest to the people of Covington and Maple Valley that the detours set up to go around the bridge outtage take you right past the Inn, and it is a great way to help save the Inn.
