First person to present was Ric Davidge the many recommendations he had suggested was performance based budgeting.  Eliminate extra administrative positions in government.  Require a MBA for all state management positions.  Legislature must approve all union contracts.

Terrance Shanigan talked about improving public safety by making the troopers more defined in their role with the public.  

Lora Reinbold highlights how crime has increased under SB 91 how stores have had to increase security as a result of this legislation.  This legislation has decreased public safety.  

Liz Vazquez explained how to make Alaska's medicaid program more efficient.

Lora Reinbold ended the forum by telling people to recommend to the legislature to repeal SB 91 and against an income tax.  

Leah Hadfield wins a write in campaign for Roslyn City Council

Leah Hadfield had the better presentation to get enough voters to write in her name for city council.  Here is the truth when current members of the city council voted to overwhelmingly dismantle the cemetery commission.  This brought the residents in arms because so many residents had loved ones buried in the cemetery.  This is the largest cemetery in the Western United States. Roslyn was once a king coal hub at one time had up nearly 5,000 people according to the 1900 Census was at one time the largest city in the county til the 1940's.  Hopefully Roslyn will be happy with new blood on the council. Leah, Jeff Adams and Bethany Spurrier will add some great ideas into the council.  I will be watching to see if the council does a great job help their community. 

Washington State Residents will face new fees and taxes in the next coming year

With the recent election this November of Manka Dhingra as state senator of the 45th legislative district located on the Seattle's Eastside region covering Kirkland, Woodinville, Redmond and Duvall.  This will give Democrat control of both chamber of the legislature since 2012.  What is in Washington state economic future if this agenda goes through.  Many business will move out of Washington State due to a pending income tax.  The carbon tax will make this situation worse.  Washington will be Oregon and California where the only the super rich can afford to live.  Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon will still have more vibrant economy since land will be cheap to buy.  Expect a population to boom in places like Ontario, Spokane and Tri-Cities area due to have inexpensive lands.  Tech companies will locate to place like Kennewick and Wenatchee due to more business friendly environments.  Issaquah will still be business hub of Western Washington despite the recent mayoral election there.  They are what Wasilla in Alaska will eventually become.  I say get your U-Hal trucks start heading to Idaho because Washington State will be too expensive. 

Seattle decided to stay with the status quo

Recently Seattle residents decided with the status quo by electing Jenny Durkan for mayor.  Seattle continue have a anti small business friendly by making them not be able to keep staff due to high minimum wage.  This policy will lead to higher causes of residents being homeless and higher crime rates.  There will also be a higher unemployment rates due to the higher minimum wage.  There will be increase in juvenile crime because the minimum wage will not allow employers to hire juveniles.  Seattle enjoy your status quo ideas. 

Females elected mayor in major cities along Interstate 5

Major cities in Washington State have elected females as mayors.  Seattle it is Jenny Durkan.  Everett it is still a toss up between Cassie Franklin or Judy Tuohy.  Black Diamond it is Carol Benson.  Issaquah it is Mary Lou Pauly.  Kent it is Debra Srebnik.  Tacoma it is Victoria Woodards, Vancouver it is Anne McEnerny and Lynnwood it is Nicola Smith.  It is interesting these cities think a female can lead these cities into prosperity.  I wish all these mayors well.  Issaquah has grown over 500 percent since my childhood in the 1980's.  I am hoping that Mary Lou can continue the friendly pace of the city being friendly to business.  This city has provided a lot of tax breaks for incoming business.  Snoqualmie my hometown has adopted this same model.  Vancouver needs to find its own identity stop being in the shadow of Portland.  Everett needs to stop crime.  Seattle needs to become more business friendly.  Kent and Issaquah needs to continue to take advantage of Seattle anti-business friendly city council.  Kent has taken advantage of SeaTac's high minimum wage taking business from both Seattle and SeaTac it has improved its industrial base.  This city has provided tax breaks.  Tacoma needs to some day clean that bay.  Get rid of the 150 years of rotting logs smell in Commencement Bay.  They need to get rid of rising crime rate that the city has had for over 30 years.  This city just like Anchorage has been overwhelmed by an opioid crisis.  Lynnwood needs to continue to operate a business friendly environment by offering tax breaks.  This city has been growing like crazy since the 1980's it is kind of the Issaquah of the north at a slower pace. 

Ivy I guess keeping the doors closed at entrances at Northway Mall appeals to you

Ivy Spohnholz which here real name is actually known as Ivy Spineless.  She says no income tax no additional money for public safety.  Since along with the South Anchorage duo of Chris Birch and Jennifer Johnston who's lack of concern for public safety I will mention in a future blog.  We need to repeal you from political office.  This blog will make sure that happens.  Anyone who comes from Salvation Army needs to go back there.  People of Airport Heights all the way to parts of East Anchorage needs to send you to the unemployment line.  You were given this seat by a death of a great legislator who turning in his grave over your idea you want to tax low income people 1.5 percent.  You need to represent you district you are already a disgrace to patrons of Northway Mall.  If you want those doors open do not dial Ms. Spineless because she will hang up the phone on you will not listen to you unless you give her 1.5 percent of her paycheck. 

Shooting at the Rural Texas Baptist Church

Today, November 5th, 2017 a crazy mentally deranged coward gunman went into a small rural town church in a town called Sutherland Springs SE of San Antonio.  He killed 26 people and wounded 20 people including an awesome girl by the name of Annabelle Pomeroy the daughter of pastor Frank Pomeroy.  His actions have made her life from going to the church instead she became an angel tonight.  She is now forever 14.  Her parents will not be able to enjoy a future of having grandchildren by her.  However, god decided this piece of human trash should go to hell in the Guadalupe County east of Sutherland Springs after his bullet was shot by a member of the church.  Pray for Texas tonight. 

Alaska Amber Alert System has some technical issues

Recently we had a statewide Amber Alert system.  However they need to eliminate the (CA) because it pronounces it as California when the alert was in Alaska.  The alert was great he was arrested in the Government Hill neighborhood in Anchorage and kid was safe.  Thanks for the Anchorage Police Department for their awesome work.  As for this child I hope that she will have very little memory of this. 

Who murdered Lydia Varo-Braschler?

Someone made this great looking teenager forever 13 on July 13, 2001 in Big Lake in Skagit County.  She was visiting her aunt from Wisconsin.  Her remains were discovered a year later in 2002.  She was hit with blunt force trauma on the way to a convenience store from her Aunts House.  Her murder remains unsolved if you know anything about this case please contact the Skagit Valley Sheriffs Office at (360) 336-9450.  Please help bring this family closure. 

Seattle needs to elect a mayor that has common sense

Seattle will decide since 1926 to put a female in the mayors office.  This year they have a choice between Cary Moon and Jenny Durkin.  

When you look at Seattle's political situation you have one candidate who represents status quo that is Jenny Durkin.  She will continue to operate Seattle as business as usual.  Many businesses are either shutting their doors or offering less jobs due to the city's mandatory $15 minimum wage this has made job growth in Seattle at a stand still.  

The current city council's progressive policies have let to an increase in crime and the current housing crisis.  When you raise the cost of doing business other expenses must go up in order to make a profit. This is something that the current city council does not understand.  

Cary Moon will shake things up at City Hall,  She will listen to people not just ones that throw money at her.  She will sit down with business leaders to see what Seattle needs.  She may get rid of the city's minimum wage if she can get enough votes.  She does not support the city having an income tax which will leader to increase job loss.  She also will solve the homeless problem by talking to non profit groups to tackle the problem.  

Seattle please select someone with common sense elect Cary Moon for Mayor.
