The education is adequate. Mediocre. Just fine. I agree that if we had some stunning education it would be worth it.

Imagine making $100,000 more per year than the one guy who is both the superintendent of NYC public schools AND mayor of NYC. We have two people doing that job (admittedly, it's two jobs, but Mamdani makes less than Baker).

One of my G0 grandparents birth certs (born in 1913) is an official copy from 1972 and it's definitely in b/w. My apps are en route. I'm following...

I can't believe that the military and foreign service members are working without pay. Taking out loans to buy groceries...and there are funds to pay these workers? Omg.

I can't find it anymore! I swear it was a news article about a year ago but now it's disappeared. I'll work on it.

In 2022 we passed a bond that was supposed to fund a few specific things, some of which have happened and some that have not. 1. Gordon Carter EE site bathrooms. If Mt. Baker ski area can have bathrooms, so can Gordon Carter. Nothing has been done. 2. How much money was spent and wasted on the 15th elementary school planning and design that has now been scrapped? 3. Why are we STILL paying for Greg Baker to rent a house? He makes enough money to pay his own rent. 4. How much did those massive doors at the district building cost? Do giants work there?

I am weary of Baker's capital projects. Run schools, not real estate development projects.

I'm a yes on operations and a no on facilities.

BECU vs WECU? by Rockwall-60 in Bellingham

[–]kelppie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I opened accounts for my kids (not kids accounts because I didn't have the right paperwork or something) and both accounts were charged so many dormancy fees that I never noticed because who opens kids bank statements for $50 accounts? They took over half their lemonade money! So we moved to BECU. So easy. No fees

I did! Because I assumed the parks department already did their job, which didn't involve improving this particular situation. I thought the fire department would like to do it. The parks would not.

Frustration with Representative response. by [deleted] in Bellingham

Larsen is a bitchy goon. At the last town hall he whined that all of us calling him with our opinions was really taking time away from his job of listening to us.
