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.
The only true conclusion is that with KCLS is that that acronym meaning: “King County’s Latest Scam!”
The use of our libraries will most likely be used in very different ways of learning in 10 years.
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.
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.
Mr. Oulette and his neighbors should be looking for a predator or some other natural cause. It’s not the radios.
I believe what I am reading and experiencing is an wholly inappropriate, arrogant, and revengeful attitude from those with a mostly hidden agenda toward those who believe a city library is part of the heart and soul of a vibrant community.
Now that the King County Superior Court has decided that the Valley Medical-University of Washington Medical alliance is permitted under state law, it seems the right time for the three disgruntled hospital district commissioners to assess their roles within the framework of the alliance.
The actions of these three commissioners are clearly contrary to our interest. The only conclusion I can draw is that they have personal reasons for this exercise in absurdity. It needs to come to a halt – NOW!!!
It seems very wasteful for school districts to compete nationally for superintendents.
Merrill Gardens residents appreciate Clam Lights at Coulon Park.
The Dec. 14, 2012 mass shooting which killed 27 people in Newtown, Connecticut was horrific and senseless and again upon our children. I cannot begin to express my sorrow.
What’s beyond debate is that a significant majority of West Hill residents like myself took a long and hard look at the annexation plan as outlined by its proponents and decided that it was ill advised at this particular moment in the City of Renton’s budgetary crisis.
Our belief, like that of most local politicians and business associations, is that the best option for West Hill is annexation to Renton.
My name is Ian Campbell and I just wanted to tell the Renton Reporter that I am honored to vote in this election. I feel like I can be part of something big in this government, and I feel like it’s also great to make a choice that could improve the government and make the U.S. a good place to live for another four-year term
I urge my fellow Renton voters to cast their vote for Rob McKenna for governor. I have known Rob for many years and I have had the chance to work for him for the past eight years as he served as our attorney general.
In response to the letter from Jennifer Holmes about protecting the “tradition” of marriage, if we look back, we see that this Tradition resulted in many people leading lives of heartbreak and loneliness, or entering into tortured marriages. Furthermore, following Tradition would put us in a world in which women could not choose their partners or own property, and mixed-ethnicity marriages would not be allowed. Tradition can be good but only when continually evaluated in light of our current understandings.
Same-sex marriage is a civil issue. Approving Referendum 74 will expand the protection of civil marriage to all families in Washington state. “Holy matrimony” (the phrase used in a recent letter to the editor) is a religious issue specifically protected by Ref. 74 allowing religious organizations and worshipers complete freedom to follow their consciences and the practices of their denominations.
As an Independent voter, having viewed several of the governor candidate debates, I see an informed intelligent candidate in Rob McKenna and an empty chair when it comes to his opponent Jay Inslee.
Rob McKenna deals with the facts and the reality of the state’s present fiscal problems. Whereas Jay Inslee bases everything in his plans for “Lean Efficiency,” better known as the lean management.
Our son was placed in our arms 33 years ago . . . so tiny he seemed like a little bird. He has added such richness and love to our family. When as an adult he told us he realized that he was gay, our first thought was, “How do we keep him safe?”
