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.

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?

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."

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?

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.
