The road leading to Alberta oil sands gets bumpy

Posted Fri, Jun 24, 9:02 p.m.

I sent this article to a friend of mine who has connections to the Alberta oilsands. She pointed out an error in the description of how the oil is extracted. She said, "the vast majority of oil sands oil will be collected through the SAGD process soon, which pumps steam ...

Will the state turn to a gambling fix?

Posted Mon, Jan 3, 7:15 p.m.

Legalize gambling and tax it. Then, when Olympia wants to continue raising their spending as they have been doing, raise taxes on it again. Then, one day, realize there are problems associated with it and decide you must do something about it, to protect citizens from themselves. So, as we ...

State election results show Republican tide

Posted Wed, Aug 25, 10:30 p.m.

Maybe Chris will one day address that "Republican Tide" in Pacific and Wakiakum Counties. I see they were again unable to enlist a single GOP candidate for County Offices. Cowlitz was only able to gain 2. And now in Wa. 03, we got a weak RINO and a Liberal. Some ...

Vance Report: A red tide is still favoring Republicans

Posted Thu, Aug 5, 9:45 a.m.

Jaime Herrera may have raised more money, but she is still vague on issues and speaks in non-committal ways too often. Now, there is a highly questionable poll claiming David Hedrick is leading in the 3rd and his supporters continue to smear David Castillo only? Why is it the so-called ...

The Vance Report: Look out, Democrats. National politics will drive state's election

Posted Sat, Jul 3, 11:09 p.m.

I can't believe a man of your experience would fall for that bogus paid for by Herrera's campaign poll showing her with such a lead. Even if her campaign had not commissioned and paid for it, a poll of less that 300, predominantly from within Herrera's legislative District I hear ...

The Vance Report: A rising tide lifts many Republican boats

Posted Thu, Apr 29, 6:10 p.m.

Herrera may be the party favored candidate, but that doesn't mean she is best suited to represent the 3rd Congressional District. The GOP has for far too long depended on fronting a favored insider and continues to lose to Democrats. Many have questioned Herrera's judgment in support of bills and ...

The Vance Report: Handicapping 2010 races, as the GOP tide swells

Posted Sat, Feb 20, 12:53 a.m.

How you can continue labeling Jaime Herrera "the favored" in Wa. 03, completely ignoring her co-sponsorship and votes to force childcare centers into unions escapes me. (HB 1329) What sort of "conservative Republican" would vote to divert a portion of what is paid to childcare providers to care for low-income ...

Vance Report: Early lines on 2010 races

Posted Fri, Jan 22, 5:58 p.m.

Admittedly, Murray will be very difficult to defeat, but not impossible. It's a long time between now and November and surprises have happened. Down here in Wa. 03, the only way we will win against the Dems is if Herrera does not get the nomination. That she is continually promoted ...

State liquor monopoly: Breaking up is hard to do

Posted Wed, Jan 13, 2:48 p.m.

I'm curious as to whether these state stores are wholey self sufficient, or if we taxpayers are paying for the operation in Union benefits and retirement to employees? A current job listing looks quite attractive for the job of Liquor Store Clerk, "Part Time (11-20 hrs per week" "The WSLCB ...

Republican hopes are rising for 2010

Posted Wed, Dec 30, 4:32 p.m.

It’s little wonder 2009 began with “the GOP confused, disorganized, and without any discernible leaders,” after 8 years of unprecedented attacks, demonization and media manipulation of anything Republican. I see the article continues with the media manipulation with the claim “they [now] have an A-list candidate in state Rep. Jaime ...
