A key meeting about Longview fluoridation; beautifully restored library windows; MGPs vote against federal budget bill; and a bid to lock in tax property tax limit dies, for now
Hey America, remember the promise you made to all who've worn the uniform in peacetime as well as in war? That our service earned the gratitude of the nation and the least the country could do would be in providing the care we who served need.
And now your going to renege on that promise?
When I left Vietnam, it was on a stretcher. My first stop was camp Zama in Japan where some really good folks made sure I had at least a chance for the next day. 22 days after arrival there, I was sent to Letterman General in San Francisco where the bits and pieces were put back together.
In the years after release from Letterman and returning to a "Normal" life my dealings with the VA have mostly been positive. 3 follow up surgeries and after considerable rehabilitation as they call it, I can walk pretty good and I've with the VA's help have dealt with my PTSD pretty well.
In fact, because of everything I've received from the VA, I consider myself lucky. Now I have very little contact with them other than a annual "Assessment". But had they not been there for me, well lets just say, they were, and still are unless---
Anyone who thinks our Country spends too much on what the VA does for and is to our veterans ought to be ashamed.
What is your plan to balance the city budget? I would concede that even a 3% increase in property taxes every year would not be enough to close the gap.

False. The 1% cap ordinance was a first reading last week. No vote was taken.
False. It was a “first reading” only because you couldn’t get the necessary votes.
I see Andre corrected the article. Thank you.
I didn’t change a thing. It always said the proposal died from the lack of a second.
My mistake. It does say the vote was one vote short. There was no vote.
Rage, repeat, rage, repeat … no answers, no thought, no cares … Rage, repeat, rage repeat…
November is coming.
