Please! John Carlson is so conservatively biased and to run his column weekly in the paper with no liberal counterbalance columnist is a travesty. I grit my teeth every week when I read his column.
I am writing in response to the
Some years ago a young high school girl took a seat in my contemporary world affairs class at Auburn High School. She was bright, interested in good education and a student leader.
Although I don’t have a soapbox, I still need to respond to Jeanne Herold’s letter to the editor in the Auburn Reporter on Sept. 17.
As a citizen of this great nation, I am concerned for the state and direction of our society. Our government is trying to pass an initiative (I-1000) that will require doctors to aid patients in committing suicide.
Tim Eyman was born and raised in Yakima, and now lives in Mukilteo. So why is he presenting an initiative (I-985) that affects Auburn?
While I’m on my soap box, I might as well add my two cents worth about Virginia Haugen.
In a previous issue of the Reporter, Tim Eyman once again is trying to get involved where he doesn’t belong.
On a good path I read with interest and anticipation your article on our just-opened 124th and 304th Lea Hill…
In response to the letter in the Sept. 3 edition from Laurel Kirkman regarding Auburn’s parking permits, I would like to clarify that in April of this year, City Hall’s customer service hours were extended to 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, to accommodate the working hours of those needing to access the finance counter, human resources, city clerk, public works and planning.
Regarding downtown parking, “Permits can be purchased on the second floor of City Hall, 25 West Main St., during normal business hours.”
Now there’s a convenient idea.
It was with great sadness that I read of the recent shooting of an innocent neighborhood dog.
I attended one of the senior coffee hours with City Council members and posed a question. As expected,
Daniel May was very lucky to get a kidney transplant (“Auburn man accepts gift of new kidney and runs with it,” Auburn Reporter, Aug 16). Over half of the 99,000 Americans on the national waiting list will die before they get a transplant.
As a parent, teacher and member of this community, I believe Gov. Chris Gregoire is the best person to continue leading our state. I am voting for her, and I urge all voters to cast their ballot for her.
Need for a plan Roy Isaksen’s letter (Auburn Reporter, July 30) notes in part: The mayor and other “city officials”…
As I look back into yesteryear I see myself lying on the floor watching family friendly shows and eating popcorn…
Too bad there are no adults with functioning brains among the office of mayor and city officials, with the possible exception of Virginia Haugen.
I must express my dismay after reading the July 19 article “Council member implicated in sign flap on railroad trestle”.
Virginia Haugen is an elected City Council member placed there by us, her voting constituents, for the purpose of representing our best interests as well as those of the community at large; not to give her a platform to promote her own undisclosed agenda.
My husband is a Pearl Harbor survivor. Days before and after July 4 there is constant noise from fireworks, and he relives the bombing he encountered.
