Tina McGann would be a valuable asset to our school board. She is recognized as a leader, consistently displaying a passion to improve not only our schools but also our community.
I found Bruce Thweatt’s Church Corner column (Courier-Herald, Sept. 7) very helpful in determining who needs help in our society and the type of help they might “really” need. His insight was very informative and helpful for others who would like to try to make a difference in our community.

In a culture of business greed and political expediency, it is a breath of fresh air (more like a paroxysm)…
Brian Beckley again displays his rather egregious ignorance of economics in his last column (Courier-Herald, Aug. 10), but feels fully capable of dictating to us the cure for our current sinking ship of state. His purpose was apparently to attempt to guilt us into higher taxes on those that still have jobs and are still working. Keep in mind that near 50 percent of the population of the U.S. don’t pay income taxes but most do get checks from government. How bout having them put some skin in the game? Brian uses examples of government employees that will not be drawing a nongovernment taxpayer-funded check. Brian’s logic breaks down because he refuses to acknowledge that in order for a government worker to get a check nearly double the pay amount has to be taken from nongovernment workers. Government has no money of its own, creates nothing and can only spend what it takes in by threat of force. Government employees, paid by taxpayers, spend the money they earn but it’s a wash; they don’t create anything, just spend expropriated funds.
On Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. the King County Landmarks Commission will hold their meeting at our restaurant. We will be presenting them with all the wonderful history that our place encompasses. They look forward to meeting with anyone who has questions about their work.
