Roundup:

Trying to get a weekend story done, so I’ll let others do the talking:

-Joe Turner, on why big tuition hikes at Washington’s state colleges may be in the works ,

-Rich Nafziger, on why that would be a bad, bad idea ,

-Jim Camden, on how Peter Goldmark is the first Eastern Washingtonian to win statewide office in “…well, a really long time,”

-Jim Camden again, on the looming applets and cotlets battle in Olympia,

-Brad Shannon, on lawmakers who’ve battled cancer,

and, last but not least, Randy Stapilus, declaring that the most influential Washingtonian of 2008 was… Dino Rossi. (Hat tip to Adam Wilson.)
