Rob Anderson, founder of Reform Clark County, argues that as Dr. Alan Melnick prepares to retire as Clark County Public Health Director, residents deserve scrutiny of his COVID-era decisions, including a March 2020 Health Advisory linked to over 81 nursing home deaths and a vaccine campaign Anderson says lacked conclusive transmission data. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-fauci-is-at-least-being-asked-questions/ #ClarkCounty #PublicHealth #COVID19 #Accountability #DrMelnick #VaccinePolicy #Opinion #ReformClarkCounty #WashingtonState #LocalNews

Camas resident Anthony Teso responds to a letter attributing Clark County's low primary turnout to voter apathy, arguing instead that nonvoters, disproportionately lower-income, have made a reasoned judgment about what both parties deliver.

Ryan Frost of the Washington Policy Center examines how Judge Chris Lanese, while upholding the Public Investment Impact Disclosure for IP26-645, spent the hearing making the policy case for a more progressive tax code rather than testing whether the Attorney General met the law's neutrality requirement.
