Jonathan Hines argues that gun-free zones and expanded firearm restrictions disarm only law-abiding citizens, leaving them defenseless while criminals carrying illegal weapons face no deterrent. He ties the argument to Vancouver PD's shift away from enforcing low-level misdemeanors. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-misguided-gun-policies-disarm-victims-not-criminals/ #GunPolicy #SecondAmendment #Vancouver #ClarkCounty #PublicSafety #GunFreeZones #SelfDefense #Opinion #VancouverWA #CriminalAccountability

Lars Larson argues that when a 35-year-old healthcare worker used a concealed carry pistol to drive a rifle-wielding killer away from an In-N-Out in Twin Falls, Idaho, the legacy media still refused to use honest language.

Dr. Alan Melnick's retirement as Clark County's combined public health director and health officer prompts Peter Bracchi to ask whether the county should separate the roles before recruiting a replacement.

Government transparency advocate Arthur West has filed a lawsuit challenging the disclosure statement added to Washington's income tax repeal ballot measure. Critics including former state Sen.

A 35-year-old man drove northbound in the southbound lanes of Interstate 5 near NE 179th Street Tuesday morning, then struck two parked vehicles at a Safeway near NE Highway 99 and NE 129th Street. Marvin Badilla had called 9-1-1 claiming he was being chased, but I-5 traffic cameras showed no pursuing vehicles. He faces reckless driving, reckless endangerment, and two counts of hit and run, and is also under investigation for false reporting tied to a July 23 stabbing in Hazel Dell. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/deputies-arrest-wrong-way-driver-at-salmon-creek-safeway/ #ClarkCounty #PublicSafety #CCSO #SalmonCreek #Interstate5 #RecklessDriving #Vancouver #WashingtonState

Washington Policy Center's Ryan Frost and David Boze argue the Attorney General's public investment disclosure statement for the state income tax repeal misleads voters by citing impacts on schools and healthcare that the tax does not fund and has no appropriation to support. The income tax earmarks nothing for K-12, higher education, or healthcare — only 5% goes to the Fair Start for Kids Account beginning in 2029. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-misinformation-in-public-investment-disclosure-statement-for-state-income-tax-repeal/ #WashingtonState #IncomeTax #StateBudget #TaxPolicy #WashingtonPolicyCenter #Opinion #ClarkCounty #Politics #Initiative #PublicPolicy

Vancouver Police Officers Guild president Jeff Anaya says officers remain frustrated and confused even after Chief Troy Price's follow-up statement on low-level crime enforcement.
