The initial general election tally Tuesday night, Nov. 3, showed 76.76% of local voters are in favor of creating the taxing district for the Odessa Aquatic Recreation Center.

If we can provide it, maybe we should return to polling place voting Over the last few months, all eyes have been on Washington’s 16-year-old vote-by-mail system. National media has been holding it up as an example of what should become the norm nationwide. But should it? Yes, we have fastidious local election employees resolving problems. And yes, we have years of experience making vote-by-mail work. But the nation isn’t ready for all-mail elections, whether it’s our system or another state’s. Simply put, voting by mail ap...

Olympia is clearly out of touch with Eastern Washington, and you won’t have to look any further than your ballot to figure that out. In addition to the East versus West gubernatorial battle, you’ll find Referendum 90, pitting many rural parents against a few city-based lawmakers and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal over the measure. Referendum 90 targets Senate Bill 5395, a so-called “comprehensive” and “inclusive” sexual education curriculum being mandated by those in Olympia. For the last few ye...
If there was any doubt about a need for change in the Governor’s Mansion occupancy, political newcomer Loren Culp swept them away in the only gubernatorial debate two weeks ago. Gov. Jay Inslee, who has been occupying the mansion for the last two terms, should’ve come ready to take on a small town police chief.

7 years ago Oct 12th, 1950 High School football game to be broadcasted on TV Another milestone will be passed Saturday when the high school football game with Moses Lake will be broadcasted on TV. It’s not too illogical to believe that next year we might be running such headlines as “Gorillas to get 75,000 T.V rights at the Wilbur game.” However, gate receipts may hit by the modern miracle of television and other headlines will blare forth, “ Davenport High Says No to T.V. As Gate Receipts fall” 50 years ago Oct 15th, 197...
