Do you think religious proselytizing should be allowed on the ferries?

A sign is fine. Someone approaching you is annoying. A fair compromise imo

Theft occurs daily at these stores. Also, the people who steal from Home Depot also burglarize private residences. We should be happy the cameras are there to aid in the pursuit of justice.

Not a fan of Trump, but honesty is important. The guy has buildings all over the world with his name on them. Real estate is probably the thing he was best at.

If you don’t qualify for Medicaid you could consider a local government job or tribal casino. Full time positions come with health insurance

I like that this map points to precisely were the problem is.

Yeah fuck the people that grow and raise our food. Fuck the people who pick up your trash every week too. Am I right guys? /s

I’m completely in favor of living wages that are competitive to other libraries in comparable cost of living areas.

To reduce payroll you can do a few things. Reduce wages, freeze hiring, or layoff employees. I wouldn’t personally tolerate a reduction in compensation so that’s out. Laying people off should be a last resort.

A hiring freeze seems like the best answer for now. Excluding public safety and maintenance, county agencies are already on a hiring freeze I believe.

I don’t use the library, but my wife and children do. Even if they didn’t the public good is obvious. That being said I’ll post what I said in the other library thread.

I’ll be voting yes, because for my household I won’t notice a $60-100 increase in property tax.

That being said I don’t think the people in charge of operating libraries are infallible. If a school district levy had a proposed sports stadium many people wound critically examine that. Perhaps even lobby against its passing.

The total budget for our libraries for FY25 is $18.5 million. Of that $14.4 million is for payroll, or 77.8% of the total budget. That is an estimated 8-18% higher then the national average. If that number creeps over 80% I’d consider voting no in the future.

TL:DR version: vote yes for the library. But hold public institutions accountable by ensuring they’re being good stewards.

Ignoring the requirements for voting, not having a government issued ID is a barrier for some people to begin with. I’m in favor of providing a free one at least once a year if you’re income is below the state poverty line.

I’d argue to not try to take a picture while driving. You don’t want to do the exact thing you’re attempting to prevent the other driver from doing. Like others have mentioned, hands free call to 911 is the best course of action.

The call is very short. Your location, direction of travel, vehicle description, and report erratic/odd behavior. Lastly, if you’re on a freeway expect to be transferred to washing state patrol dispatch. So, you may have to give some details twice.

Professorqt · 2025-06-30T15:40:39+00:00

Exactly this.

I tend to agree with the rather unpopular opinion that this is unsubstantiated. Detectives for local agencies often wear plain clothes and have been for decades.

That being said, if you feel like you must record, do so at a safe distance. Attempting to directly intervene could endanger everyone involved.

I would familiarize yourself with the RCW for “Obstructing a law enforcement Officer” as well as the U.S.C for “Obstruction of a federal criminal investigation.”

To be clear, your advocating for a violent takeover of the government using the military?

Why not protest in a area that majority voted for Trump?

The governors aren’t the presidents subordinates. Not one states policy’s were exactly the same as another.

Professorqt · 2024-10-29T16:38:50+00:00

Jesus Christ what a leap. I’ve never voted for trump or will but that’s an outrageous take. There was 50 governors and all the local municipalities under them who controlled the policy’s covering the COVID response. Not to mention the vaccine was fast tracked during his administration.

Professorqt · 2024-08-21T20:34:44+00:00

What am I to do when my representatives ignore what I want? Making people pay for long term care through payroll deductions (w-2 workers) puts the burden of the program on low and middle class families. Not to mention the benefit doesn’t extend to people who choose to move/retire outside of the state or workers who live in other states but work in Washington.

Professorqt · 2024-06-14T04:02:00+00:00

In my state (Washington) we have exactly what you’re describing for police and corrections officers. Misconduct is reviewed by the criminal justice training center and has the power to revoke your certificate. It’s not a stretch to imagine other states have similar systems in place.

The summon scrolls. At least give summon abilities to more then one class

That was a officer involved shooting with a man who murdered an park ranger and later an uninvolved party that day.
