Comment on Former City Council Member Supports Raines, Hicks by Jim Stevens

Jim Stevens — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 00:13:07 +0000

The Daily Sun News has failed to list Bob Story’s article “Two of three incumbents on city council headed to defeat” in their BLOG. An observing public must ask why Mr. Story chose to eliminate his front-page election analysis, 11-09-2011, from their electronic media. Could it be an effort to avoid comment and notoriety to his continual efforts to racially divide Sunnyside? Bob Story’s racist comment, “The incumbent Garcia, the lone Hispanic on the Sunnyside City Council representing a community that’s made up of approximately 80% people of Latino background…”. I have known Pablo Garcia for many years and strongly promoted his entry into the political arena. He is a respected American Citizen who has made his contributions to Sunnyside. Why would Bob Story attempt to segregate him racially from part of the community? Why does Bob continually pound the racial divisions of Sunnyside instead of focusing upon the bond that unites us…being American Citizens. Evidently, Mr. Story’s first focus upon a man’s identity is the color of his skin, hair, eyes and not what he has contributed as a Citizen. Mr. Story failed to mention what percent of the community is Dutch background, or Catholic, or Mormon. He also failed to mention that Craig Hicks has a significant Mexican heritage. What exactly is Mr. Story’s agenda and that of his employer, the Daily Sun News and their administrators? Hopefully, someday, they will become a TEAM player focused on uniting Sunnyside rather than dividing us.

Comment on Bridges Was Asked To Resign In Sunnyside Salary Scandal by cnred

`… should have resigned, or be fired for his malicious attempt to scam the City of Sunnyside of Wa. It’s a saddened day and a sorry state when City officials admit to having (professional) affairs (professional because he claimed he did nothing unprofessional), and knowing and willingly misusing your (Sunnyside) tax dollars. People don’t expect their contribution to the city of Sunnyside to be misused; not in any way shape or form is it right or understandable.

It sounds as though (on paper) the City took appropriate actions to deal with the situation, This is not based off any knowledge outside of this blog

Comment on The Bush-Obama Congress Approved Plan To Share The Pain by Jason R. Raines

Interesting idea, but we can fix the problem without tax increases. Rand Paul suggested cutting 1% each year for six years to bring the budget into balance. It is not that hard if we actually cut the deficit spending out. By the way, taxes will likely increase in 2012 when the Bush tax cuts expire.

Let us “share the pain”.
Raise everyone’s income tax by 1 percent.
Decrease everyone’s “entitlements” by 1 percent.
If necessary do it again next year .

When I have no more money, I can not spend. I generally have to make choices… Do I really NEED that? If it is food for my children, yes. If it is a roof over my children’s head, yes. If it is a new pretty couch, NO. Does the government REALLY NEED all of the items they are buying? Schools for our children, YES. City police for our safety, YES. Extra military troops deployed in 135 countries around the globe, NO. Life is about making wise choices about our NEEDS.
Basically if you do not have the money you can not continue to spend it!
