Support Adrian Cortes As Olympia becomes more partisan, now more than ever we need real problem solvers that can work with everyone.

Voters have a clear choice in November about the direction they want Clark County to take, in hopes of pulling out of the worst recession in decades. In Marc Boldt, Joe Tanner David Madore and Tom Mielke, voters have four candidates, all with different ideas about how the county can prosper once again. But just two, incumbent Boldt in east county and challenger Tanner in north county, have the ability to mesh good ideas, a willingness to work across party lines and a proven track record in crafting solid plans of action, to achieve success.
Vick is a leader Over the course of the last decade I have had the pleasure of watching Brandon Vick grow into a man of good character and an exemplary leader.
When it comes to the hotly debated issue of making Washington state the first in the nation to legalize marijuana, there are a few areas that both proponents and opponents of Initiative 502 can likely agree upon. For starters, both sides would probably agree there is no clear cut verdict on what both the short and long term effect of marijuana is on users, even though impaired judgement and memory and impaired critical thinking skills might be a conclusion many of us might make.
Where is the justice? Our Constitution states "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,..." Yes, "to establish Justice" is stated in our Constitution.

CCIA would like to set the record straight Regarding Dawn Feldhaus's Sept. 11 article "Candidate's use of Grove Field parking lot generates complaints," which described 18th District Representative and candidate Liz Pike's use of the airport parking lot for her campaign fundraiser, CCIA would like to set the record straight.
It's late summer days like today -- sunny with temperatures that are expected to reach 90 degrees -- that make you realize how great it is to live in the Pacific Northwest. And Camas and Washougal are especially beautiful areas where a premium is placed on making sure there are plenty of parks, open spaces and recreational areas where people can enjoy the outdoors. Mother Nature does her part, but as citizens we must also take an active role in keeping our communities beautiful places to live, work and play. With that in mind, a number of service and community clean up events are scheduled in the coming weeks.
