Levies are important investments in education
I am proud of the quality education that my two children received from Washougal public schools.
Without hesitation I will support the M&O and technology levies. These dollars will be directly used to support campus security, student health, performing arts, sports teams, technology, facility maintenance and community education.
I can’t think of a better investment in our community and in our future.

Proposed terminal is not good for the community
The Port of Vancouver, relying on limited information, executed a lease with Tesoro-Savage for the purpose of building a terminal on the Columbia River with the potential of exporting 350,000 barrels of crude oil per day from the Bakken oil fields.
TS represented the process to be safe.
The highly volatile nature of Bakken crude was ignored.
During the past six months: One oil train derailed in Lac-Megantic, Quebec killing 47 people and leveling the town (July, 2013). One oil train derailed in Alabama (Nov. 2013). Another train blew up in North Dakota (Dec. 2013). Another blew up in New Brunswick, Canada (last week).
