Spin Control: Nethercutt weighs in on presidential candidates
With presidential candidates making their quadrennial stops in the Inland Northwest ahead of the caucuses, Republican voters might be wondering how to pick among the four remaining candidates. After all, none of the four has very strong connections to the region, or has spent much time in the area when not on the campaign trail. And some haven’t made even so much as a pit stop here yet.

Spin Control: Coverage of caucuses is pointless
If no one else has yet proposed this, might I suggest the news media stop paying attention to the results of the Iowa precinct caucuses … or any precinct caucuses, for that matter. That includes Washington. No offense, all you good party loyalists who are preparing for the big March 3 event.
Districts will ask voters to help support hundreds of jobs
School levies are often associated with K-12 programs, such as sports, art and music. But the community-supported portion of a school district’s budget – a local tax – also helps pay for hundreds of jobs within a school district, including teachers, coaches, bus drivers, secretaries and janitors.
