To The Eagle: Some recent experiences got me looking again at what is really going on today in the world and right here at home. The current governing bodies are operating on a tax and spend basis. Who gets taxed? Those who are still working and providing a service or selling material products to others and getting paid in some form. There is nothing wrong with working and getting paid or selling a product produced. The problem is there are agencies who have given themselves the right and power to demand a person or business support them no...
To The Eagle: Here we go again with certain people (non-business owners) trying to further hamper Cathlamet businesses and citizens with a ban on sidewalk signs and banners. Will this affect yard sales, etc? It will surely affect our struggling businesses, such as sales, specials, announcements, etc. Why do some people continue to try to turn our town into the one that they came from? If they liked that town so much they should go back to it. Mike Mouliot Cathlamet...

We have had an almost wonderful visit with our nephew and niece from Yucca Valley, California this past week. I say “almost” because our well decided to give us some problems.

The Daily Olympian's June 18 editorial headline read, "State caught in test of political power." It has almost been six months since the beginning of the session, and legislators have been unable to compromise on a budget that should take effect next Monday. One might blame the situation on party politics.

This Republican controlled Senate has shown itself to...
