Former state senator supports Graser
I have known John Graser since he was a high school student of mine.
He was as hard working then as he is now. John’s achievements are too numerous to list here, but worth checking out.
Although we come from different political backgrounds, he never speaks of partisan issues. His focus is entirely on our citizens. He is the only candidate that has a real plan for putting more officers on the road and addressing problems we’re seeing in Clark County.
I’m voting for Graser, and I ask you to make him your choice for Clark County sheriff.

Vancouver can do better
On June 2, the Vancouver City Council passed a resolution calling for the Port of Vancouver to cancel a lease with Tesoro/Savage to site the West Coast’s largest oil terminal at the Port. They joined several other Washington cities — Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle, etc — voicing grave concerns about the safety of oil trains.
Although this must have been difficult, I think it was the right thing to do at this time. The Council clearly showed their deep concern and commitment to the health and safety of their constituents. They also set a helpful example for other communities contemplating a similar action about dangerous oil trains passing through their cities.
