Legislators should support family caregiver program As a Washington State Council on Aging member, I send this letter because November is National Family Caregivers Month. Each year, more of us are caring for a loved one with a chronic condition, disability or simply the frailties of old age.
Help guide Camas' development Recently, the Camas City Council has considered multiple issues that could potentially change the way we view Camas.
It is time to modernize Clark County government As background, prior to retiring in 2013, I served for 24 years as Camas' first city administrator, and prior to that for seven years as city manager of an Oregon community. My interest in modernizing the structure of local government led me to be a candidate for Freeholder in the east Clark County, seat number 2 position last fall.

At over 400,000 residents, our county is ready for a form of government that gives county residents better representation, provides separation between policy makers and county managers, and gives residents a way to replace county laws they disagree with.
Vick's rubbery ethics Recently, the newspapers noted an effort to reign in the relationship between Washington legislators and lobbyists. The committee started with a focus on "free" lunches. The limit suggested was 12. That would be once a week for three months or twice a month for six months, etc.
