Glad to hear you’re in favor of universal healthcare. (Susan Beverly, Letter to the Editor, April 26) So am I. Let me first say that I work full time, live in a working-class neighborhood (no upscale residence for me, no favored consumer status), and my kids go to public school. And you don’t need to worry that you pay for my healthcare. I also pay a separate health insurance premium through my work plus office deductibles, just like most people do. I also don’t mind paying taxes for schools and emergency services used as common resources by the community.
I am writing in regards to the Wednesday, April 23, article in the Renton Reporter titled “Red-light cameras on duty May 1.” I’m glad that such action is being taken, but appalled that so little is being done toward making the roads safer.
Is Nick Eckstein serious? I agree that you can have fun in the snow but “fun in the rain?” Come on Nick! I think Nick Eckstein should send the Renton Reporter ALL of his wonderful pictures of him having all that wonderful fun in the wet, cold and miserable rain. As for our family, we can’t wait until the sun shines and we can enjoy the outdoors again.
Your news story “Red-light cameras on duty May 1” (Renton Reporter, April 23) says Renton officials won’t stop just because our Initiative I-985 uses the city’s camera profits to reduce traffic congestion.
Sylvia Cavazos has it all wrong when she blames politicking for the groundswell of opposition to Valley Medical feeding at the public trough. I’m no enemy of Don Jacobson and no great fan of Pam Roach, but this time the senator has an idea that makes sense. Far from “interjecting” herself, she is doing just what I wish the legislators in my district would do — acting in the interest of the taxpayers she represents.
