Q & A

Question (from Doug Burr ): Do your editors “get it” yet? Are they understanding that you speak for more than yourself in these columns? Hope so; the promise of a free press is often more evident than the freedom is expressed within some newspapers. I’m largely happy with the Spokesman, but their surprise at your tapping a nerve with your conservative columns is worrisome.

Answer : Not to worry. Although Editor Steve Smith and I don’t agree philosophically, Steve is one of my big supporters in writing from my conservative perspective. My blog doesn’t exist without him. If anything, Steve and Opinion Page Editor Doug Floyd would like me to do more columns from a conservative perspective. But I’ve been pressed for time by this all-consuming blog.

DFO: BTW, a former Enumclaw resident recently saw that “Red-State” rant of mine here and responds in the “comments” section below.
