December 3, 2008 8:40 pm

Law enforcement is vital to the public’s sense of security, not to mention in those hopefully rare occasions when an individual actually needs an officer at a moment’s notice. And a county fair is important for its own unique reasons.

In recent weeks there has been a lot of talk about King County’s $93 million budget deficit and County Executive Ron Sims’ “life boat” strategy. Mr. Sims has proposed that some essential programs, such as public safety and human services, be funded for six months with the hope that the Legislature will grant new taxing authority to bail out King County.
