Some library gains made but there are still concerns | Letter to the editor
Monday night, April 29, our City Council chose to accept KCLS’ incomplete schematic materials for the 19,500-square-foot building concept. On the surface it sounds good, and one could think we’ve gained more than we’ve lost. While we celebrate gains, there are concerns that need to be closely watched to ensure taxpayers get everything and more for their tax increases.
Donate organ, save a life for Donate Life Month | Letter to the editor
The month of April rings in Donate Life Month across the nation, a time for each of us to give a few extra moments to consider organ donation. Consider those who are waiting (more than 110,000 people nationwide); those who have received this precious gift; and especially those who gave others a second chance at life.
Three hospital commissioners are not serving us | Letter to the editor
I’m not surprised at Anthony Hemstad’s resignation from the UW Board of Trustees. He and two fellow Valley Medical commissioners Paul Joos and Aaron Heide have been trying to sabotage the alliance with UW Medicine from day one – an outcome that would be very detrimental to us local residents.
Vociferous library group doesn't represent me | Letter to the editor
The vociferous group that is now demonizing KCLS is acting on a false assumption. This assumption is that anyone who voted for the Cedar River site last year, is also a KCLS opponent and against the process going on now with the city of Renton.
Emphasis on articles is misplaced | Letter to the editor
The format of the paper edition of the April 5, 2013 issue of the Renton Reporter deserves comment. One third of the front page is devoted to a cute but politically trivial article about elementary school children (“Tiffany Park Elementary goes ‘Radioactive’"). And on page two, a very small article announces meetings of the City Council (“City Council to discuss library de-annexation Monday”).
Mayor Law is part of a small library group | Letter to the editor
Mayor Law, with all due respect, the only small group on the library is the one that you are part of ("City needs to get moving on two new libraries," Renton Reporter, April 5, Commentary Mayor Denis Law). You complain of the time you’ve spent on the library, yet your actions have caused all the citizen action, because you have refused to listen to your residents every step along the way.
KCLS Needs to pick up the 'clue phone' | LETTER TO THE EDITOR
KCLS is not only doing its level worst to ravage one of our most vital resources, but to this they are adding the insult of not listening to us.
Library system is not representing citizens | LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The only true conclusion is that with KCLS is that that acronym meaning: “King County’s Latest Scam!”
Working together, the end result is library for next 50 years | LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The use of our libraries will most likely be used in very different ways of learning in 10 years.
Shared view for school chief | LETTER TO THE EDITOR
The South King County Communities of Color Advocacy Group would like to extend a warm thank you to the Renton School District Board of Directors for inviting us to participate on the advisory panel that was part of the RSD Superintendent selection process.
Pay attention to the library design right now | Letter to the editor
That will give KCLS the green light to develop their idea of demolishing part of the foundation slab and separating the building from the pedestrian bridge. That means that the time for concern about design is right now, not later.
