Enumclaw does not need another law | Letter
This is not what Enumclaw wants or needs. Our small, conservative town does not need one more law or ordinance that can potentially violate our civil rights. I think between the state and the federal government we put up with enough of this already.

Rep. Cathy Dahlquist voices view of Sound Doctrine Church assistant pastor Malcolm Fraser guilty verdict

Rep. Chris Hurst discusses verdict in Fraser criminal trial | Letter
I applaud the guilty verdict handed down by the jury in the Malcolm Fraser/Sound Doctrine Church case and wanted to commend the Enumclaw Police Department, Detective Grant McCall and the King County Prosecutors Office for their outstanding professionalism in such a serious case, which was made more difficult due to the almost constant harassment by the small group of supporters of Fraser.

Support King County effort to preserve local forest | Letter
I strongly support King County’s acquisition of development rights on the 43,000 Hancock acres east of Enumclaw. This very important action will keep this area as a working forest, preserve wildlife habitat and ensure continued recreational opportunities for the public.
Tourism economically benefits Mount Rainier gateway communities and state
National Parks continue to be important, even critical, economic engines for local communities with visitors generating $30.1 billion in economic activity, and supporting 252,000 jobs nationwide in 2011. More than a third of that spending went directly into communities within 60 miles of a park
Forest agreement could limit city’s future plans
