Please let newspaper readers know about the bad thing that happened to my wife Emo about a year ago.
I recently read the Dec. 6 edition of the Renton Reporter. The front page had an article addressing “What Renton is Drinking.” The article was very well-written. My opinion was not to do with the article or the Renton Reporter, but with concern for the community. The liquor store on Rainier Avenue is outselling the one in the UW shopping center! This is amazing, considering the fact that the state’s largest university is unable to alone out-buy the city of Renton in terms of volume of liquor, not to mention the rest of the Seattle population in that area.
Not long ago I (age 77) tripped and fell on a high curb on a street next to the Cedar River. I landed torso down — hard — half on the sidewalk, half on the street.
The Issaquah School District encompasses six jurisdictions – King County, Bellevue, Issaquah, Newcastle, Sammamish and Renton. The Issaquah School District only does business with two of them – Issaquah and Sammamish.
I want to thank you for your endorsement of Marcie Maxwell for the 41st District House of Representatives. Marcie has a proven track record of community involvement with our schools, with the Chamber of Commerce and with Renton Rotary. Marcie truly cares about all the citizens who live in this diverse district. She has a clear understanding of the needs of the children in all the schools of the district and has worked on the state level to ensure funding for education. She has a profound commitment to all the citizens who reside in the 41st District, whether they are young or old. Her experiences as a small business owner enable her to clearly relate to the challenges the economic situation has forced upon our citizens. She has the energy and vision to help create a viable future for all citizens and I ask you to vote for Marcie Maxwell on Nov. 4.
This election campaign season has been filled with a level of animus I can’t ever remember seeing before. The lack of civility and the negativity may be reaching an all-time low. Recently the community of Renton has been served up a plateful of disrespect by Steve Litzow, a candidate for the Washington 41st District House of Representatives. The 41st District includes much of the cities of Bellevue, Renton, all of Mercer Island and Newcastle, plus a portion of Issaquah. Mr. Litzow has stated that Mercer Island and Bellevue are the “gold standard,” which implies that Renton is inhabited by people of seemingly lesser status. Certainly from an economic perspective, Mercer Island and Bellevue may rate higher on someone’s scale, but to insult and demean an entire community, smacks of a degree of elitism and arrogance which defies logic. One might suppose that since he’s running for 41st District REPRESENTATIVE, he might consider the fact that he would be expected to represent all of the citizens in the district, including the people of Renton. I can’t believe that the majority of the citizens of Bellevue, Mercer Island, Issaquah and Newcastle feel that Litzow’s “gold standard” statement reflects positively on their communities.
