Preserve Connector service I am writing to ask the citizens of Camas and Washougal to vote to approve Proposition 1 and preserve C-Tran service.

Listen Camas citizens...what's that sound? Could it be the rumblings of political discontent for the first time in years? In our ever polite community, where city council and school board races go unchallenged for many years, are there finally some folks who aren't content to bow courteously to incumbents?
Choose best qualified candidate After reviewing the qualifications of the candidates for Washougal City Council Position 5 this year, I am endorsing Jennifer McDaniel. She is best qualified, an experienced leader, a dedicated and contributing current council member, and an outstanding member of our community.
The Port of Camas-Washougal is committed to transparency in its dealings and, to that end, the commissioners wish to share the thought process that helped them reach the decision made on July 19 not to accept FAA funding for Grove Field which would have obligated the Port for an infinite period of time.
This past week, a disturbing incident took place that had the potential to turn out much worse than it did.
Trust mayor and council with reserves Recently you printed a personal opinion from Washougal City Council member Dave Shoemaker expressing his strong desire that Washougal not use its reserves.
Yesterday's deadly and tragic accident on Highway 14 in Camas is an incredibly unfortunate, but powerful reminder of how dangerous this stretch of heavily traveled roadway has the potential to be.
Kudos to Honorable Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler We are very pleased on Congresswoman Jaime Herrera's voting record on supporting, creating sustainable jobs for Americans, a balanced budget, protecting the most vulnerable among us, securing our Borders, E-Verify and a county wide vote on light rail and tolls. The overwhelming majority of citizens in our Third Congressional District applaud Jaime's efforts.
If most of the community didn't know it already, the live music and fireworks show at Marina Park on the Fourth of July confirmed it. The Port of Camas-Washougal's waterfront property along the Columbia River is a spectacular setting that is positioned to be a major draw in many different ways.
CCIA accomplishes goal Five years ago a group of us met on a park bench at Marina Park to talk about how we could preserve and protect the Parkersville Historic site.
