Camas and Washougal should merge
I believe there is a great need to make government more affordable to the taxpayer. All options should be looked at, including the merger of the city governments of Washougal and Camas. I believe our fine cities would benefit with a greater voice in Clark County and in Olympia.

I’m totally confused here; Washougal residents are currently paying for emergency medical services through our taxes. Now because of mismanagement they want us to bail them out for the tune of $150,000 up front to help offset their budget deficit. What are we, the end of the rainbow? Can Washougal really afford this?

Washougal council members need to be held responsible
I attended the Washougal City Council meeting on Monday, April 4. Events that ensued during the course of the meeting strongly compelled me to write this editorial.
Although not everybody might have the complete background on issues presented, I hope to generate more public interest in attending meetings and holding council members responsible for their actions.
