We’re very proud of Initiative 985’s congestion relief policies. Carpool lanes opened during non-peak hours, traffic lights synchronized to optimize traffic flow, accidents cleared out faster, making it clear that people want reducing traffic congestion to be the top transportation priority, all without raising taxes.

Covington’s ‘Notch’ should be protected, not paved
October 3, 2008 2:21 pm

The Sept. 10 edition of the Reporter was stuffed in the back of the newspaper tube under my mailbox. Before recycling, I took a quick look. Inside there was a very unilateral news article (“Many eyes on comprehensive plan”) by staff writer Kris Hill in favor of having the King County Council vote to move the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) to include the “Covington Notch,” which is currently in unicorporated King County.

As the days get shorter. it is especially dark at 6:40 a.m. on Maple Valley Highway/State Route 169. Our junior-high school students wait in the dark and rain for the bus. There is no actual bus stop there, just children standing by the highway. I think in a terrific little community like ours, we ought to be able to find a carpenter or someone who could throw a little bus stop together. Or maybe there is one already built. Surely there is a reader out there who knows where there is a bus stop no longer in use. Or maybe someone has the lumber just lying around?

The Reporter’s switch to a one-a-week print publication is part of our increased emphasis on our online edition. We aren’t kidding with our recent announcement that, while newspapers in general are sweating over the declining readership of their newsprint products, we’re embracing the Web by devoting more of our focus and resources to digital journalism.

September 20, 2008 12:00 am

I understand why some people oppose John McCain’s running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, and why they disagree with her. But I’m astonished at the brazen hypocrisy of liberals (most of them women) who are seething with anger and hatred towards her. I’ve been around politics for 30 years, and I’ve never seen such unhinged hypocrisy in all my life.

The new Creative Arts Center officially opened last weekend (see related photo on page 3 of today’s Reporter) with an open house on Saturday and an invitation-only shindig the day before. And the revoews are good for the center, with its performance stage, space for art workshops and its gallery and studio for local artists.

All over this state, you have evidence that children are in need of being cared for by their own relatives. Instead, most kids are placed into foster care, where they don’t get the love and attention they should have, which creates dissociative disorders they carry the rest of their lives. These kids have grown up now, and more and more there are parents today that aren’t fit parents – yet they are protected by the state of Washington due to not updating their codes in the law.

September 12, 2008 3:21 pm

Washington’s voters have consistently voiced a desire to restrict the ability of government officials to unduly raise their tax burden. Initiative 601, passed by voters in 1993, required not only a strict spending limit and a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to raise taxes, but also voter approval of any tax increase in excess of the state spending limit.

Thank you for the amazing article written by Erick Walker about the Tahoma High School gymnastics team’s car wash. Thanks to the article and the help of many others, the car wash was a great success. The team washed over 20 cars and raised more than $400. As a surprise, the Millwork Outlet matched our earnings, which gave us a grand total of $825. Again, I would like to thank the Reporter for helping make this event a huge success. Thank you for all you do in our community.
