Enumclaws tentative budget for the coming year is an interesting document where optimism and reality sit side-by-side.

Released a week ago by Mayor Liz Reynolds, the 2015 spending plan hints at better times on the hori-zon, but delivers bad news in the form of higher tax rates and utility bills for residents.

Of course, the mayors plan is something of a liv-ing, breathing document that can be massaged and

manipulated by mem-bers of the city council. Reynolds and her adminis-trative team have done their part by putting together a comprehensive plan of col-lections and expenditures; now, its up to the seven members of the council to exert their influence.

Over the course of the next seven weeks the coun-cil will discuss, debate and take public comment. A final vote is slated for early December.

Todays News...Today!

was recently set in place by the Legislature. Student growth is a part of that evaluation matrix. We all want to measure student growth.

Local evaluation pro-grams are better than those that are state or federally mandated. Student growth, over time, is an important measure and yet it is not contained in the state sys-tem.

There is a tendency for those outside of the educa-tion system to want to link teacher evaluation with student test scores. But, there are many factors in a students life that enable or disable learning. The teach-er should not be expected to surmount all difficul-ties, nor unfairly benefit by being assigned only high achieving students.

Not every child is blessed

with an educated, well-financed, harmonious, and innately intelligent family. Not every child has par-ents who give quality time to education at home. We often forget that it is the parent not the teacher who has the greatest influ-ence on the student.

And, from a teachers perspective, difficulties can reside in whole schools and whole communities. Rural, industrial, non-English-speaking and/or alternative schools often attract out-standing teachers, precisely because they can work mir-acles with kids. But, if there is a link between test scores and evaluation, many of the best teachers will head to Bellevue or leave teaching and go into private indus-try.

With the advent of top-down federal and state mandates to local schools our achievement levels have declined. I am an advocate

of local control and the potential for a variety of teaching methods. Starting in 1983 with Nation at Risk and continuing on to todays Common Core, parents, teachers, and local districts have less control. I support more local control, not less.

Cathy Dahlquist: Two pertinent laws passed in 2010 and 2012 that required new teacher and principal performance evaluations to be implemented statewide during the 2013-14 school year. I am proud to say that I was involved in the bipartisan work group that negotiated the details of the bill. The new evaluation system helps provide mean-ingful feedback to teachers and administrators, while matching professional development opportunities with individual needs and lastly, considers student growth as a significant factor in evaluations. Since

student growth was an ele-ment, no single test could be used in an evaluation.

Washingtons current evaluation law says that districts can not shall (shall, being the language that many school dis-tricts have already imple-mented) use state tests as one of multiple measures when calculating student growth in teacher and principal evaluations. Our law is inconsistent with the federal requirements, and because the legislature did not pass a bill to require student growth on state test scores in 2014, the federal government is revoking a waiver from the restrictions of No Child Left Behind.

Losing this waiver means that our state will have to go back to the punitive effects of the No Child Left Behind requirements and lose over $40 million in federal funds that help our schools serve our most

vulnerable and highest risk students.

Pam Roach Rebuttal to Question No. 1 - teacher evaluations

We agree that the recent-ly implemented Teacher-Principal Evaluation Program is a good evalu-ation. It gives feedback to teachers and adminis-trators and considers stu-dent growth as part of the matrix.

It is a state program being used for the first time this year. Yet, the federal government already wants it replaced. The federal gov-ernment prefers a federal program. No surprise. They want to bring in Common Core Standards, a system that federalizes curriculum and testing, and in doing so, saps away local control.

Dahlquist refers to a Senate bill that would have implemented the federal testing. It failed 19-28 with minority Democrats join-

ing seven Republicans to defeat the encroachment on state and local control. I was one of those seven Republicans and proud of it! The bill would have scut-tled our earlier testing work for yet another untested, federally mandated system.

As always with federal demands there are threats to take away funds if leg-islatures fail to comply. Dahlquist was wrong in saying our law is inconsis-

tent with federal law. She is also wrong in saying that we are losing $40 million dollars by not having passed the bill.

The $40 million stays here. Instead of going to Title 1 it goes directly to students for tutoring which is a more direct way to help families and kids.

Dalquist is in opposition to our states teachers, most legislators and the governor. Dislike of Common Core is a major point of agreement between teacher and parents; The Alliance of Common Sense.

Cathy Dahlquist Rebuttal to Question No. 1 - teacher evaluations

Unfortunately Pam Roachs position cost our schools nearly $40 million in funding this year. Student test scores is just one of many aspects that should be used to evaluate teacher perfor-mance. Pam Roach out-lined an extreme position that made our state the first in the country to lose this federal funding because we did not apply the most basic standards of accountability in our classrooms.

As a parent, former local school board member and the ranking member on the House Education Committee, I believe that education is the path to our states economic success. Jobs from the construction industry to manufacturing and engineering all require strong basics in education.

Reality is that a portion of all public schooling is fed-erally funded which comes with federal mandates under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, which has been in effect in one form or anoth-er since 1965. Washingtons current evaluation law says that school districts can (and many districts do) use state tests as one of the multiple measures when calculating student growth in teacher and principal evaluations. The new comprehensive evaluation system helps pro-vide meaningful feedback to teachers and administrators, matching professional devel-opment opportunities with individual needs, and con-siders student growth as a significant factor in evalua-tions. Far more than mere test scores, student growth measurements place a great-er priority on evaluating progress within anticipated ranges rather than specified results. Providing help to schools that serve our most vulnerable and highest risk students in reading and math is what my opponent plans to cut with the ideas she suggests.

RebuttalsNext are the Dahlquist and

Roach reply/rebuttals from two questions answered in last weeks edition.

The state Supreme Court ruled the Legislature is not meeting its paramount duty to fully fund education.

In the 2015 two-year bud-get if you are elected as 31st District Senator will you sup-port a plan to fully-fund K-12 public schools? If so, please pro-vide details and specifics of the plan. How much money will need to be allocated for K-12? What are specific programs are you willing to see cut, if any, to balance the budget and fund schools?

Cathy Dahlquist After four successful

years in the state House of Representative, I chose to run for the Senate because of a lack of effective representa-tion for the people of the 31st Legislative District.

The Supreme Court agreed with my legisla-tion to fund education first and ruled that the lack of action from the Senate was incomprehensible and held the legislature in contempt for not following their direct order last April. Their (the Supreme Court) ruling declared that, education funding is to be prioritized prior to any other program or agency when writing the budget. I have advocated for this very issue since being elected to the Legislature in 2010 after serving two terms on our local school board. It is time to move in a positive direction for the future of our children and our state.

In 2013, I worked with a small group of Democrats and Republicans that wrote the budget and funded an additional $1 billion toward education. As a member of the state Senate, my plan is to write a budget that fully funds our education system first and prioritizes student outcomes. I have had the honor of being selected to the Funding Education Task Force, the Quality Education Council and the Appropriations Committee and served the House as the Ranking Member on the Education Committee. I have the experience, knowl-edge and compassion to do what is best for kids while being responsible and bal-ancing the concerns of the taxpayers.

Pam RoachThere is agreement in sup-

port of fully funding education. We support my Senate Majority Coalition Caucus idea of a bal-anced approach in levy use and in incentivizing the economy to increase jobs and revenue.

But, there are points to be made. Dahlquist states: Serving on the Enumclaw School Board gave me a unique perspective into the impacts that funding reductions and burdensome mandates have on our local schools....

Dahlquist did not learn about burdensome property taxes. She negotiated the Tri-Party Agreement between the Enumclaw School District, the city of Black Diamond and YarrowBay Development for Enumclaw School District to provide seven new schools for Black Diamonds 6,000 new

homes.Plateau taxpayers will be

asked to pay thousands in new taxes for what Dahlquist calls her legacy. Meanwhile, our Enumclaw kids will be housed in 50 year-old buildings. And, when the population of Black Diamond exceeds that of Enumclaw, there will be a dif-ferent dog wagging the tail!

As chairman of the Governmental Operations Committee, I am reviewing land use law with an eye to pro-tecting taxpayers while provid-ing schools. I have a solution for taxpayers and students. And, it does not include the coming debacle between kids and high taxes!

Dahlquist references her bill, HB 1174, which says none of the budgets may pass until the edu-cation budget passes. We should not hold the Transportation Budget (with all those needed jobs) hostage for something in an entirely different budget! No surprise, the bill never got a hearing.

State why you are the best fit as senator for the 31st District. What specific strengths and knowledge do you bring to the position concerning the problems facing the 31st and the state? Please state why you would be effective legislator in Olympia for the next four years.

Pam RoachI lead both in Olympia

and at home: Saving Lake Tapps; winning with a NO on Valley Medicals costly annexation attempt; chal-lenging DSHS for families. It is an honor to help citizens as they interface, usually with government, to protect their civil rights or their property.

No one does this like my staff and me!

I have done these things with honesty and integrity. I dont make deals. I dont cave on principle. And, recently, I was designated the most successful legislator in Olympia by the Sunlight Foundation. Consequently, there are people who want me out of office.

Cathy Dahlquist says edu-cation is her top priority. Yet, when given an education leadership spot...she quit!

I dont quit!I chair the Senate

Government Operations Committee specializing in property rights, election law, growth management, The National Guard and emer-gency management.

I have chaired the Senate Law and Justice Committee; served 18 years on the Ways and Means Committee (expert on budget); Co-chair, Military and Veterans Affairs; member, Governors Anti-sex Trafficking Committee; Governors Drone Task Force; Sentencing Guideline Committee; Chair Legislative Sportsmens Caucus; working on new White River State Park. My nonprofit helps kids in Honduras.

Law Enforcement award-ed me Legislator of the Year four times. State busi-ness and labor organizations have rated me highest.

Cathy DahlquistI will be the voice for

the people of my district that has been missing in the Senate for too long. I have the respect of working across party lines for the last

four years to achieve proven results.

There is a well docu-mented history of abusive and demeaning behavior amongst colleagues, staff and constituents. In January of 2010, Senate leadership once again banned Pam Roach from caucus for creat-ing an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environ-ment. In a public letter, they documented Roachs pattern of abusive outbursts span-ning her entire tenure as a state legislator. One inci-dent put the taxpayers at risk for $1.75 million. Our constituents have been with-out representation for many years. These sanctions were only lifted because Senate Republicans needed the vote that she held hostage for a majority.

She was missing during session last year while some of us were working to invest over $1 billon to restore school funding. While I was helping to write the educa-tion budget, Pam Roach was out of the country. It was discovered later that she was in Azerbaijan on a junket cruise.

The Legislative Ethics Board sent an alert to all mem-bers that the junket would be an illegal gift and no other Washington state legislator accepted the free trip.

Republican and Democratic leaders agree and support my campaign for the Senate because they understand my hard work and respectful working relationships provide the positive results our con-stituents have been without for years.

DEBATE FROM 3

Cant blame pets, its the owners lacking respect

A nasty (no pun intended) issue has been bothering me for some time now. My suggestion for elimi-nating the problem fell on deaf ears, so I have resorted to this writing - possibly only to lessen my frustra-tion. Many more times than I care to witness it, I have seen dogs freely roaming the grounds of Enumclaw Evergreen Memorial Park. Most of these canines were clearly with the owners, but not leashed. At other times, no accompanying human was observed. I suppose the argument could be made that some of these were trespassers from neighboring property, but I can assure you, this is not always the case.

These animals are not to blame if they lift a leg on a gravestone f low-er offering, or relieve themselves spontaneously anywhere the urge demands. Animals are not expect-ed to know the word respect or to have any common sense to exercise it. The owners are to blame.

The same caliber of individual that will walk their dog in a neighbor-hood and patiently wait while that beloved pet leaves its calling card for some homeowner to discover.

I hope most who have friends or relatives entombed at Evergreen Memorial Park would agree with me. People, keep your dogs out of

the cemetery and respect those who have gone on before us. Show that respect should never end.

Donna SmithEnumclaw

When some rant and rave, others tune out

First off let me say that drugs in Enumclaw are a problem as they are everywhere nowadays. Every town or city, big or small, is being affected by this scourge. However, Ive been hearing and reading a lot of hysteria lately about the drug problem in Enumclaw specifically.

Today, as I write this, in the lat-est edition of this paper I even read someones letter where they actu-ally called Enumclaw the heroin and meth capital of Washington state. Ive also heard people among this community use this very same

line. Its becoming a false mantra. Now, I understand this is an emo-tional issue and I understand the devastating effects drugs have had on many local families. I also get the impression that some reason-able and rational perspective needs to be presented.

Let me ask you, do you think Enumclaw is actually worse than Yakima? Or Spokane? Or Seattle? Or Tacoma? Or Auburn? Or Kent? Or Renton? Or White Center? Or Lakewood? Or Maple Valley? Or Bonney Lake? I could probably go on until I get closer to the end than the beginning of the list of 493 cit-ies in Washington before I get to Enumclaw. Im not talking per capita either, just flat out would you really rate Enumclaw as worse than any of these cities I mentioned or others that I did not mention?

I understand that it is easier for a person to follow hysteria (emo-tion) than reason and things that are negative typically gain more atten-tion and subsequently followers than things that are positive. It is easier for someone to look around in their small, somewhat cloistered (and

Why isnt the House of Representatives up for grabs like the Senate? If youve been watching the Congressional election races recently you know the Senate is up for grabs between Democrats and Republicans. Even though there are more Democrats nationally and despite the fact that President Obama won handily in 2008 and 2012, there is virtually no chance the Republicans will lose control of the House; in fact, they may add some seats, as many as 12.

Writer Nate Cohn in the Sept. 6, 2014, New York Times article, Why Democrats Cant Win the House, tells us why.

The Democratic excuse is Gerry-mandering the voting districts are set up in such a way that of those 435

seats, only 50 or 60 are really competitive and considered toss-ups. But, according to Cohn, thats only part of the answer. Gerrymandering is considered to have cost the Democrats only six to eight House seats.

The key to understanding this paradox lies in where Americans live, either urban or rural. Most Democrats live in cities and their outlying suburbs. During the 2008 and 2012 elections, President Obama won 80 percent of the urban vote. Republicans tend to congregate in rural

LAST WEEK: Are you concerned

about the ebola outbreak reaching American shores?

Yes: 64% No: 36%

Curtis Harris was born and raised in New York City and, until very recently, had lived there his entire life, mostly in Brooklyn and the Brownville District which is reput-ed to be a very hip area.

Then, a few months ago, his girl-friend and her family moved to Arizona and Curt followed them. That relationship didnt work out, one thing led to another and he ended up in Las Vegas.

Curt didnt think Vegas was much of a city. It was more like a circus. Nevertheless, he ran into a streak of good luck and teamed up with some other black dudes who were part of a street-theater group. Together, they did imitations of celebrities like Mister T and Snoop Dogg. Curt impersonated Tupac Shakur and his photographs indicate that, when hes into the act, the resemblance is quite striking.

Of course, you must know who Tupac was. But just in case you dont, he was a famous rapper, who sold perhaps 20 million albums before he was murdered in 1996. I always considered him a gang-

sta, but Curt insists that wasnt the case; he claims Tupac played many different scenes, depending on where the money was.

Anyway, while performing on the Vegas strip, Curt got tangled up with Teresa Hodgins, a local lady who was on vacation. When she returned to Enumclaw, she brought Curt with her. And when a hard-core, black New Yorker suddenly finds himself in an isolated, small suburban community like ours, it must produce one of the most severe cases of culture shock you can imagine.

So the other night, Teresa, Curt and I were setting in the Lee Lounge shootin the breeze over a couple of drinks. (Curt is the first New

Yorker Ive ever met who doesnt drink booze.) I asked him what he thought of Enumclaw. He consid-ered the question for a few seconds, then said, Its very quiet and clean, and smiled with a pleasant, guttural chuckle. People are friendly, but they seem frightened by things they dont know or understand.

When he and Teresa walk down Cole Street hand-in-hand, they create quite a stir. (Perhaps I should point out, though it probably isnt neces-sary, that Teresa is white.) Then, too, Curt notices that the police some-times pay him more attention than would seem to be necessary. But I suppose youd expect that.

As Ive said many times in these wayward columns, Im fond of our town and the hamlets around us. Nevertheless, as I sat there listening to Curts free-floating, street-level, Brooklynized ramblings, I suddenly found myself in Rock Center on a warm summers evening or at a side-walk caf in Greenwich Village. And I thought, gee, it would be wonderful to be there again.

So it goes.

areas and in prosperous resi-dential areas on the fringes of those large cities.

This allows the Democrats to handily win presidential elections, because the urban areas hold an excess of pro-gressives. The dearth of Democrats in Republican strongholds, however, makes it virtually impossible to turn a conservative red district blue for a House seat.

The presidents campaign strategy in his two election bids emphasized gay rights, funding of contraception, restriction of guns and min-ing, and immigration reform, but these issues are extremely unpopular in normally blue-collar, working-class districts which tend to be more reli-gious and conservative.

As a result of this campaign strategy, Obama has attracted, according to Cohn, almost all the nonwhite voters, as well as young and educated liber-als. Although they helped him win his presidential elections, their votes are wasted dur-ing House contests because they are concentrated in and around large cities.

According to Cohns article, By far the most important factor contributing to the Republican advantageis the natural geographic factor of Democrats being overwhelm-ingly concentrated in these urban districts, especially in states like Michigan and

Florida.This demographic trend

is expected to continue after President Obamas term ends. If Hilary Clinton is the 2016 Democratic nominee, she is likely to win more votes among white conservatives in the South. Time will also play a part because many Republicans are older and will die off over time. Many non-white minorities concentrated in large American cities might also migrate into the more traditionally conservative areas, diluting the Republican advantage.

The statistical and political fact of a Republican dominat-ed House will make it difficult for President Obama to make any headway with his progres-sive agenda in his final two years in office. So, no mat-ter who wins the Senate, the

House will stay Republican for the foreseeable future, meaning gridlock and tension between the president and the House will continue.

Its fascinating to see how President Obamas strategy to win the White House can be so overwhelmingly suc-cessful for his party on one hand and, at the same time, keep it from being able to pass legislation and bring about major, progressive reform on the other.

The founders concern for checks and balances in our government continues to tip power back and forth between the president and Congress. They were very much con-cerned that power not be con-centrated in anyones hands. In that, they have been very successful, and their legacy continues into our time.

unfortunately too often judgmental, in my opinion) community and say what they see at the end of their nose and what is being rein-forced by those negative influences around them is the worst thing ever. That does not necessarily make it so. Perception can be reli-able if it is tempered with some objectivity, but if it is purely subjective, then that is where perception often disembarks from reality.

The main reason why I feel this is an important issue to address is because when people start following the hysteria bandwagon, it tends to turn others off to your otherwise worthy cause. When people use

hyperbole, overexaggera-tion, or irrational diatribes to prove a point, the rest of us start to tune you out. When people are accosted on the street because they look or act a certain way that someone else might find suspicious, that tends to hurt the overall appeal of our city. People Ive talked to outside of Enumclaw know about the Facebook pages. Ive heard stories of people within our commu-nity reacting in an extreme manner to those who they deem to be suspicious just because they deem them so. Sometimes they are right to be suspicious, but some-times they are very wrong. Is innocent collateral dam-age really worth our overall objective? Treating every-one you see that might not

look or act a certain way that you find acceptable is not a good way to attract tourism or adherents to your cause.

As I said at the begin-ning, drugs are a problem in Enumclaw as they are everywhere. I know our main concern isnt every-where, its here. We all want a safer community. We all want to help in some way. Its just that some peoples idea of helping is actually hurting. Its hurting our perception of ourselves. Its hurting our perception of others. Its hurting our per-ception of the problem. Its also hurting our commu-nity by excluding or ostra-cizing those who may need our help the most.

Al Knopik is among the best when it comes to climbing behind a steer-ing wheel and negotiat-ing highways and byways, streets large and small.

The Buckley resident, a professional driver for more than 41 years, found himself in San Diego recently, being honored for his motor-ing skills. The National Safety Council pre-sented Knopik with its Safe Driver of the Year award for the western area. Along with a con-gratulatory letter, Knopik received a personalized medallion and an etched crystal award.

Established in 2004, the award recognizes drivers throughout the country who have driven a significant number of miles, or spent a significant number of years, behind the wheel without incurring a preventable accident. Any member orga-nization may nominate a driver believed

to exemplify outstand-ing driving safety. Winners are judged on their driving record throughout their career, including the total num-ber of years driven, total miles driven and total number of accidents.

Knopik is employed by the United States Postal Service and works out of Seattle, where he drives tractor-trailer rigs, along with seven- and 11-ton trucks. He hauls mail from various stations in the Seattle area to and from the Tukwila Processing and Distribution Center.

When it comes to offer-ing advice, Knopik fol-lows the practice-makes-

perfect philosophy.Good driving practices produce good

driving habits that result in good or safe driv-ing, he says. Poor driving practices produce poor driving habits that result in poor or unsafe driving. The choice is yours.

By Kevin HansonSenior Writer

The White River High football team rolled into Lakewood Friday night, looking for the antidote to cure a three-game losing streak. The Hornets found the perfect cure in the winless crew from Clover Park.

White Rivers final tally of 40-8 likely could have been even more convincing, as the Hornets scored all their points by halftime.

The trip to Harry Lang Stadium came at a most opportune time. White River had dropped three straight contests, each to a South Puget Sound League 2A opponents. With the win, the Hornets improved to 1-3 in league, 2-4 overall.

White River wasted little time in crushing the host Warriors, posting three touchdowns during the initial eight minutes before putting three more tallies on the scoreboard at Harry Lang Stadium before the end of the first half.

Cyruss Stenson had a big night, finding the end zone three times. Other touchdowns were posted by Ryan Richey, Ethan Clay and Chris Marmon.

The Warriors lone touchdown came in the final period.

Clover Park entered the game having allowed more than 50 points in four of its five games while scoring in single digits four times.

White River took advantage of the Warriors weak-ness to rush for 196 yards on 30 carries, good for an average of 6.5 yards per touch. Additionally, the Hornets threw the ball 13 times, competing eight and gaining another 154 yards.

White River seemingly has a good chance to rack up another victory this week, taking on the Washington Patriots. Like the Hornets, Washington is 1-3 in SPSL 2A play and 2-4 overall.

People Read The Courier-Herald26,400 households receive the paper each week. There are 2 readers per household. Thats 52,800 impressions. This does not include our website.

Do you think the sun is doing a good enough job? Do we need a bigger one? While it doesnt receive rave reviews daily, most people feel our local nuclear sphere pumps out all the heat and light we need.

I disagree.Continue orbit-

ing around the sun for a moment, but while youre doing that, allow me to remove the planet Earth from beneath you. That done, take a sample of the void now existing around you where Earth and its atmosphere used to be. Whats the air tem-perature? Frigid. What about visibility; is the area around you well lit, or is it too dark? Black, but for the twinkle of stars.

Hmmm. There you are, orbiting around the sun at the same dis-tance as always, but experiencing a reality radical-ly different from what youre accus-tomed to - almost as different as if the sun itself had been removed, rather than the planet you live on.

Lets try one more thing before were done. You can have your planet back for this one, on the following condition: the sun has to do all the work of illumi-nation by itself. In fact, Ill be more than fair on this: go trade our sun for a brighter star - get one with such intense lumi-

nosity that you can no longer lift your eyes to the horizon without risking blindness. Then go out-side at high noon and look all around notice the areas of complete black-ness near every visible object. The problem isnt the intensity of the light (its painfully bright), but somehow, the light just isnt getting everywhere it needs to go. Without the aid of ref lective materials

(please note: everything visible IS visible because it ref lects light to some degree), no star of any size can stop you from creat-ing impenetrable shadows in broad daylight simply by blocking its rays; and anything not in direct line with a light source essen-tially becomes invisible.

We often forget that the incredible effectiveness of a certain burning planet is entirely dependent on the materials it has to work with on the receiving end. Specifically, it needs mate-rials that will absorb and radiate its heat and ref lect its light.

Spiritual parallel? Too often in our Christian walk, were wishing God would crank up the watt-

age, as if that would fix the problems. If he would only make the light shine brighter, the world would awaken, Christians would get with the program, evil would have no place to hide and our personal lack of faith would disap-pear.

If he would just make the heat hotter, wed feel warmer toward those around us, ignite with pas-sion for whats truly impor-tant, burn off our impuri-ties, consider getting on fire for Jesus, and maybe even burst off a solar flare of good works.

But weve misunder-stood the nature of things. The Son is shining bright enough and as hot as we need him to. Thats not the problem; the problem lies with us. Our world will only have the heat and light it needs when our lives are truly absorbing and radiating the heat of his passion and sacrificial love; ref lecting the bright radiance of his goodness and glory into the shad-ows around us. Were a beautiful, critical part of the design.

The Son is shining bright enough, hot enoughChurch Corner

DEPUTY

COUNCIL OF METROPOLITAN POLICE AND SHERIFFS

As a police officer and resident of the 31st District, I have been grateful for Senator Pam Roachs support. Shes voted to protect individual rights while still making sure our officers and families are taken care of if a tragic event occurs. I stand by Senator Pam Roach and she has my vote! Ron Smith, Police Officer, US Army Veteran

A lot of people made me promises and offered to help when my husband was shot and killed in the line of duty. Senator Pam Roach is one of the few who kept that promise. I am grateful that Senator Roach stood strong against those who wanted to cut the pensions given to the widows of officers killed in the line of duty. She truly has been our champion in Olympia! Renee Maher, widow of Federal Way Officer Patrick Maher shot and killed in the line of duty 8/2/2003

3 Refused to support legislation that slashed the pension of widows of fallen police officers and firefighters

3 Voted to increase education funding by over 11% without requiring a tax increase

3 Supported by businesses and labor groups on both sides of the aisle

3 Named the Most Bi-partisan Washington Legislator by the Sunlight Foundation as reported by the Washington Post (6/12/14) No candidate authorized this ad. It is paid for by the Council of Metropolitan Police and Sheriffs, 2949 4th Ave S, Seattle, WA.
