Greg Anderson: Finally. This county needs this kind of help, but they will need more than 10 beds or their waiting list will be very long, but great start.

Joshua Greene: That’s awesome, but need more beds.

Cassie Jamerson: This is fantastic!

Brook Eastman: About time.

Readers respond on Facebook to death of “Good Samaritan” who stopped to assist a disabled motorist on Interstate 5 near Napavine last week:

Johnny Page Pulliam: Why would you even worry about what side of the shoulder your car breaksdown on. Dumb move on all parties involved, just call 911 and let professionals handle it. I feel bad for the poor person who killed this kind person, but seriously who does that?!

Roberta Syme: So very sad. Prayers to the family of the man that died. Prayers also to the person that hit him. I can’t even imagine how bad he/she must feel.

Natalie Carter: Prayers for all, including the driver that hit the Good Samaritan.

Al Denison: So tragically avoidable.

I know how to speed up the state Legislature, especially this year. Turn off all air conditioning in the legislative chambers and the offices of all members of the Legislature. I can guarantee that the budget will be resolved quickly then.
