| COVID-19: Sarah Palin’s entitlement Posted: 27 Jan 2022 04:35 PM PST  Unvaccinated Sarah Palin blatantly walks into a Manhattan restaurant knowing that New York requires indoor customers show proof of vaccination ["Palin COVID-19 tests delay libel trial against NY Times," Jan. 24, Nation & World Politics]. She flouted the rules of health and decency and may have jeopardized other people's lives as a few days later […] |
| Affordable housing: MHA approach flawed Posted: 27 Jan 2022 04:33 PM PST I feel the Legislature's suggested solution is well-intentioned but needs a lot more work ["Legislature should reject plan to upend single-family zoning," Jan. 26, Opinion]: The housing market is like a roller coaster. There is no stability or security for the large percentage of renters. Midlevel and lower-income housing is a huge need, but as […] |
| Affordable housing: What about infrastructure? Posted: 27 Jan 2022 04:30 PM PST Seattle Fair Growth has concerns about how to incorporate large numbers of missing middle housing into our comprehensive-plan process. We support more housing, but more of the gap is in low-income subsidized housing. Most low-income housing providers are not interested in the inefficiency of building on small lots. The bill contains no provision for affordability […] |

[…] |
| Infertility-care insurance: Think of cancer survivors Posted: 27 Jan 2022 04:26 PM PST Re: "Washingtonians deserve equitable access to infertility care" [Jan. 18, Opinion]: The fertility bill currently before the Legislature (HB 1730 / SB 5647) is vital for helping those most in need. Every year there are young Washingtonians diagnosed with cancer before they have even started their family. Unfortunately, lifesaving cancer treatment often renders patients infertile. […] |
| Recycling: Put the onus on producers and manufacturers Posted: 27 Jan 2022 04:23 PM PST Re: "Bill to ramp up recycling a top priority for green coalition in 2022 Washington state legislative session" [Jan. 18, Environment]: As a kid, I took great pride in being the self-appointed "recycling captain" for my family. I was responsible for breaking down boxes, snipping plastic soda rings, peeling off labels and, perhaps most importantly, […] |
| Posted: 27 Jan 2022 04:12 PM PST  Legislature needs to confront hazing before another young man dies. |
| Make homegrown pickleball official sport of WA state Posted: 27 Jan 2022 03:35 PM PST  The quirky, accessible pastime deserves recognition as Washington's official sport. |
| Voters, invest in your local school district and its students Posted: 27 Jan 2022 09:30 AM PST  The most underfunded of mandates identified by the majority of school district leaders is special education. Passing your local school levy is essential to addressing this need. |
