I cannot say it any more eloquently than Zack Kreiger, a Vashon resident who stated, “War is just plain suffering!”
To date, VSF has provided more than $2 million for vital programs.
While the problem is way larger than consumers can solve, we can affect some change on a personal and local level.
McSheehy and the school board have been trying to have it both ways: to proclaim Vashon’s commitment to equitable education while also continually rolling out raises that were frankly beyond the district’s means.
For those asking for room to think, I ask, “think about what?” The right and wrong answers are already plenty clear to me.
I loved being a parent — my child allowed me to know love as wide and as deep as oceans.
Our town must rise to the very big challenge to make this place more welcoming and affordable to all. If we don’t, what’s left?
These kids feel they are making important decisions for the future. And they’re doing it under the constant reminder that the Earth is approaching a crisis that, if ignored, will have a massive impact on their lives.
We should be expecting, no, demanding, that our elected officials be good managers.
Whatever that feeling is, it comes from knowing that Vashon is a good place to live, and you can be proud of that.
