John Anders: Conservatives, and I am one, cannot hope to be politically influential to the rapidly changing American voter populace when they are incessantly putting forth arguments, or in this case legislation, that is void of journalistic integrity. If we could all scrutinize the information we do like as much as the information we do not like that’d be great.
Douglas Lukascik: This is typical coming from the right.
Followers of The Chronicle’s Facebook page react to a proposed bill that would automatically register many residents to vote:
Randy Cobb: One reason voter turnout is so low is because there are too many times during the year that we are asked to vote on this one or two things, then vote on that three or four things! Washington needs to consolidate all the varied elections into one or two at the most elections per year, not four or five! It would also save the state a considerable amount of money! Something else to vote on won’t encourage people to vote!
Ann Davis: Absolutely right, Randy. I’ve said that for years.
William Lipf: Not good — this should be the person’s right to choose.

The same company that the AG is chasing for failed 911 service and people are surprised about their internet service? Maybe they’re aspiring to be the next Comcast.

We live near Rainbow Falls State Park and we have the same issues with CenturyLink regarding Internet speed. We are supposed to have 1.5, but most of the time it is much slower than that. CenturyLink seems happy to take our money and not give us the service we are supposed to be paying for. So far our community attempts to change this situation have failed. Brad Althauser was even out here at one point and we at least got CenturyLink to not add more users. Hopefully Winlock will have more success and that might even trickle down to our area.
