The editorial board invites readers to chime in on the daily discussions of the editorial board at its new blog, A Matter of Opinion, at www.spokesmanreview.com/blogs/opinion.

Current topics include the just-completed Washington state legislative session, race relations, the public’s current events IQ, child sexual abuse and the slow food movement.

The participants – Doug Floyd, Rebecca Nappi, Jamie Tobias Neely, Lynn Swanbom, Dave Oliveria, Steve Smith, Stacey Cowles and Gary Crooks – would like to hear your thoughts. If none of those topics are of interest, the blog offers you an opportunity to tell us what we should be talking and writing about.
