Is an organized gang of yeggs operating in the Tri-City and surrounding area? Four safe jobs in less than six weeks in Kennewick, Pasco and Selah raised the question. In all four cases suspects are still being sought. Some of the jobs were professional in appearance and others seem to be the work of rank amateurs.

Voter turnout for the primary races this year was 22 percent. That seems low. It also seems to point to apathy.
Conversely, we invited readers to submit questions that we could ask the candidates when we interviewed them and we received hundreds of emails. Judging by response, interest in our election process seems quite high.
We thank people that took the time to submit questions and we used as many as we could in our interviews.

To salt or not to salt, that is the question? Some years ago I worked for a few weeks per year at the West Valley Nuclear facility for Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. I always laughed at the employees who drove from Buffalo, N.Y., each day.
I knew it was summer or winter depending on what car they drove. They drove their good car during the summer and parked it for the winter. In winter they had their old beater car that had holes in the fenders, the doors were falling off and it was considered expendable as the salt ate through the metal parts.
Kennewick citizens, do you have an old beater car to give to the cause? Get it out, winter is just around the corner.
