Lets here it! What did he do? When did he do it? It has to be bad because its being kept a secret. I think the school board has forgotten that they are in public service, not in the service of Rich Carter or Bill Jordan. How about a little honesty for the people who just agreed to shell out 20 million dollars for school renovations. It sounds and looks like, to me, your thumbing your nose and laughing at us. If violated a policy or did something illegal that would get him fired from any other job than he should be canned from this one. This is rediculous and is not in the best interest of our community. I hope I am not the only one who thinks it time to clean up that office.

"I think enough has been spent on fancy buildings and beautification projects. Now is the time to get the streets fixed and use better planning in doing so. Why is it that whenever a street is repaved, then a few days later someone is digging it up to fix pipes or wires or whatever? This is a huge waste of the taxpayer money. Fix the wires and pipes first and then finish with the repaving. Smart idea.....huh? As for the schools projects.....enough time has been spent on planning;just get around to doing it! If the golfers want a new clubhouse, let them pay with the fees and membership. A large percentage of taxpayers do not play golf or use these facilities. I know what I say will make some people mad....but then let them be mad. Maybe if they would just stop talking and complaining about things and do them, things just might get done. STOP THE TALK AND DO THE WALK....as they say!"

Walla Walla needs an expansion to the existing skatepark. I believe this is necessary because it would give the kids a place to go and skate or even watch. This in return would give the kids a place to go, there would be more obstacles and challenge. This would also help in keeping kids from skateing downtown and on Mainstreet. We are currently exepting donations. Skateboarding is the 6th highest participant sport in America, Please help. For more information you can visit skatewallawalla.org, or go into The Lost Boardroom, or Walla Walla Roastery.

What is the project?
Veterans Memorial Golf Course maintenance building replacement. I'm the Mechanic/Assistant Superintendent at the Veterans Memorial Golf Course. Ive worked at the Vets since 1996. I, more than any one agree that our aging maintenance building needs to be replaced. A few years back, a co-worker and I had to push a section of our shop back onto the foundation with a tractor. We drove re-bar into the ground to keep it from sliding out again. That section of the shop started to buckle and collapse and if we hadn't been standing there it would have. When it rains hard, the water flows in because the ground slopes into the shop. We also don't have near enough room for equipment and some of the equipment has to stay outside all the time. My work area is so crowded, its sometimes difficult to get equipment in my shop for repairs or sharpening on my grinders. My grinders take up about 50% of my floor space. My tools, spare parts, tires work benches and lockers take up another 25% of my shop floor. My shop looks like a mess all the time. There is just no storage area to put anything.

I checked the Chamber of Commere website, which list property taxes in WW to be in the rage of $11.17-$18.43 per $1000 assessed value. Unless I misunderstood this article, it describes a tax rate of $2.85 per $1000, The Chamber number indicates that WW County has among the highest property taxe rates in Washington. Hurrah for the good things taxes provide, but aren't citizens already doing their part paying this relatively high rate?

As a resident of the Milton-Freewater School district, I have voted against every school bond issue to build new schools. First of all, they have gotten ahead of themselves and purchased a piece of property with an old building on it...which they included in the latest bond measure. HOW WRONG IS THAT!!! Milton-Freewater doesn't need new schools, but better teachers. I have heard many stories from students who say that the teacher just hands the book and tells the read, while they play on a computer or even a game boy! I will not be sending my children to Mac Hi....that is the last place I will send my children to school.

Walla Walla is not big enough for two high schools -- not even with College Place attached. Two high schools would mean 1000 students per school -- I know people think smaller is better, but that's not always true. A 2000-student high school runs more efficiently and thus gets more for its money than two 1000-student high schools. If you suddenly got 2 or 3 new people in your already full house, would you build another house for them? Of course not! However, it might make sense to build an addition or make other improvements as well as install other procedures to make the house you have work for all of you. That's what Walla Walla needs to do -- make improvements to the existing high school to bring it into the 21st century and help create a reasonable learning environment, and then adopt programs like smaller learning communities to make the bigger high school seem smaller.
And those who say they won't vote for schools, especially those who say it's because they are older and don't have kids in them, need to look up the definition of "community" -- I'm pretty sure it's not "I got mine, you get yours."

I liked the town much more before it became "wine country". I didn't need all this extra culture to enjoy what Walla Walla is truly about. It is about our great natural settings, our expansive agricultural land, our uncrowded streets and neighborhoods, our affordable way of life. Now that I am all grown up, if I want to purchase a house I will have to move out to Prescott or Dayton. How has this "wine country" benefited me? Did they bring me our great landscape and quiet neighborhoods? No, they have ruined it. It takes so long to drive from 9th to Eastgate via Main and Boyer, because we have all these brainless people who think that they can walk all over the middle of Main Street while carrying their newly purchased wine and gawk at an old building, and yell at me as I try and drive past them. Next time I won't slow down for you, and I don't care if I make you spill your wine. But I guess it is ok since many of them buy homes in our floodplains and cry when it rains. When are we going to sell our extra land for their next housing development? You know, the land right between Kmart and WWCC? It would be an excellent use of land. I look forward to the day that I can afford to move back into Walla Walla, after they have all left, and we begin the cleanup of what they have left behind.

Did anyone see the article in the U-B or the post over at WallaWallaWhines.com (http://www.wallawallawhines.com/index.php?board=9.0) that says the port is looking at bringing in a coal powered plant to Wallula Junction?
How is that going to increase our quality of life? Whose hair brained idea was this, don't we already have wind power and problems enough trying to keep our Salmon alive without bringing in coal and dumping it on the edge of the Columbia River?

The relationship that a People has with it's Governance is based upon Trust. When then Trust is bent (or broken) then the Citizenry has little willpower to follow the leading of Government. My general opinion of our City Council & WW Port Authority is that they are not thinking about the here and now of it's citizens. Government is conscribed to do that which the people cannot do for themselves. Individuals can't put in roads, or build schools, or keep the water supply clean. That's Government's job. But our City Council is worried about all kinds of issues unrelated to the basics of government. Here's a list (in no particular order):
1. We're arguing about raising taxes $0.10 per $1000 assessed value. Nobody seems to notice that MY TAXES DOUBLED in one year. Why is there no build in limit of 10% per year maximum. Are they trying to bankrupt local families? What are their intentions for the nearly DOUBLE revenue they expect to collect? 2. I heard a Walla Walla official say (paraphrase) that for each Winery there are roughly 100 jobs created (transportation, hotels, restaurants). With over 100 wineries in the area, do you really think that there are 10,000 jobs related to the wine industry? Yet we persist in trying to turn Walla Walla into the Bend of Washington state. 3. The Water Politics are dirty. Triple Creek (and others) do massive earth moving with impunity - local homeowners can't even cut the weeds near their creeks (You got money? You get water.) 4. We were sold Bike Trails with the Myra Bypass. We supported the plan... now they take away our bike trails. Huh? 5. Every study of Social Scientists shows that schools over 1,400 students have more drugs, crime, teen pregnancy. We NEED a 2nd High School. WA-HI is BAD for our kids. Spend the $32M on a SECOND SCHOOL. 6. City Permits are too danged expensive.

May the school district should try NOT replacing schools. There are 2 beautiful schools in Walla Walla that WERE NOT REPLACED but updated. I sure don't see how buying property, building new schools (that would probably be built like todays houses, way too elaborate) could be cheaper than renovating and updating existing property and buildings. AND new schools sure won't improve the teaching that comes out of those schools.

Walla Walla & College Place need to take care of the trash flowing out of garages, porches and yards. If they can't afford to water their lawns then do some landscaping that doesn't require much water. The one thing that I loved about this area was the pride people took in their homes and yards. We are letting people come in and trash their places. I think it is time this was addressed with some cleaning up or you get fines and it will be cleaned up. It is not right to keep your place up and in the next block is a garbage dump. Who's place will determine property value, the dump or mine?

The corners of 3rd and Chestunt, 4th and Chestnut, and Chase and Chestnut should be 4-way stops. People are parking right up to the corners on Chestnut giving limited sightlines for drivers on the cross-streets. People race up and down Chestnut between 2nd and 9th. There are two schools which have students crossing Chestnut: Garrison Middle School and Paine School (which idiot decided to rename that school? Do they even know who the Paine was it was named after?). We also need at least one swimming pool. When we have a pool for everyone to use, then we can talk about perhaps expanding it to an "Aquatic Center". First things first; why do the Park and Recreation people think the bond measures keep failing? I was born and raised here in Walla Walla. When I was growing up we had Memorial, the Natatorium, Pioneer Park and Jefferson Park pools. Now we have...?

I'm tired of Duane Cole selling out Walla Walla for a bottle of wine, a nice dinner or just a phone call from one of Walla Walla's "Elite Citizens". Since he can be bought for a trinket or two, why don't we trade him in for someone with a backbone and a sense of right and wrong.
Hey Duane, I think Bend needs a new city manager.
