Letters to the Editor

Letter: Support Keethler in 17th District

October 4, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Suggesting that Paul Harris’ performance over the last 14 years representing the 17th Legislative District in the House is a reason to move him to the state Senate misses the mark (“Elect Paul Harris in 17th Legislative District,” In Our View, Sept. 28). Read story

Letter: Focus on good of immigrants

October 4, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I think Rep. Marie Perez has her heart in the right place when she talks about making everything better, but her emphasis is all about the border. I think this is unfair when there are so many good, wonderful people that have crossed and done well. Read story

Letter: Reject Initiative 2117

October 3, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Let’s Go Washington, funded by millionaire Brian Heywood, backs Initiative 2117 to overturn the Climate Commitment Act. LGW filed a complaint alleging that Washington state is trying, with $200 refunds already planned, to sway voters to vote “no” on 2117. This, again, is a stunt by millionaire Mr. Heywood to… Read story

Letter: School creates noise pollution

October 3, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Columbia Valley Elementary School was built behind my backyard two years after we moved here. It was decided at that time to place the playground only 50 feet behind my backyard without erecting any kind of noise barrier between us. Because of that, we are subjected to constant noise and… Read story

Letter: Trump would be bad for economy

October 3, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

In October 2020, Donald Trump said of Joe Biden, “If he’s elected, the stock market will crash. If he gets in, you will have a depression the likes of which you’ve never seen.” For the record, four years later the stock market is currently at a record high. Read story

Letter: Parking can be costly

October 3, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I am now retired, but eight or 10 years ago my law firm was approached about leasing space in one of the buildings at the new Waterfront Vancouver development. The very trendy location was extremely tempting to many of our younger attorneys, but our firm determined that the anticipated future… Read story

Letter: Support Reichert for governor

October 3, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I have had the distinct privilege of meeting all but one of our Republican candidates that will be on the ballot. Without fail they are good people and most are well-suited to handle the job they seek once they pass the popularity contest we call an election. Read story

Letter: Reject extremism on both sides

October 3, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Donald Trump is absolutely correct in his assertion that immigrants are hell-bent on destroying our (non-)representative republic. Read story

Letter: Reject initiatives, rhetoric

October 2, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Sarah Akey (“Initiatives will make life affordable,” Our Readers’ Views, Sept. 20) has fallen victim to the rhetoric of Let’s Go Washington purporting that the initiatives on the November ballot are designed to save taxpayers money. She fails to ask which taxpayers will save and who will pay. Most of… Read story

Letter: Civic leaders support Perez

October 2, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

We support reelecting Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. She represents our communities well — she “shows up” for Southwest Washington. Read story
