    Let’s get one thing straight…

    As the editor of a community newspaper, it warms the cockles of my heart to see that more and more people are putting pen to paper and contributing impassioned and insightful letters to the editor.

    Changing the name to of the old Bellevue Community College to Bellevue College required only a minor edit. Yet the change embodies a major and potentially transformational expansion of its service to the community: our baccalaureate program in a vital health care field.

    I never thought it was right when newspapers wrote about themselves to make up the news.
    It always seemed too self-referential; like the newspapers were deciding that their own internal machinations were important enough for anyone, apart from journalists, to care about.

    You don’t need me to tell you, the news is pretty heavy these days. In this job, I try to stay abreast of what is going on, at a state level, and nationally, as best as I can. But I’ve got to say, listening to the news these days is a bit of a downer.

    Parkway project draws fire
    Parkway project draws fire
    December 4, 2008 3:06 am

    I am very concerned by the way that our city continues to disregard the overwhelming outpouring from the citizens in Sammamish against expensive projects that are ill-conceived. In the case of East Lake Sammamish Parkway (ELSP) — in the face of continued public opposition, even several of our City Council members have raised questions related to design and scheduling that have gone unanswered. Just this past week, Councilmember Kathy Huckabay stated that “There are a lot of questions that I’ve been hearing from the community that I can’t answer.” What is appalling is that some council members raised the same concerns a year ago when they were being pushed to approve. The city promised and failed to answer.
