Testing, Testing, One, Two
Hey, while it looks like our site is working I thought I’d post a couple results. It looks like Fred Finn and Randy Neatherlin will make it to November. Mason County numbers are not in, but the margin right now is huge for both of them.
Kathy Haigh is the clear winner in the other 35th District race. Brad Gehring is in second place, seven percentage points ahead of Marco Brown. That’s without Mason County, so we can’t call anything there.
The Jan Angel-Kim Abel race is fairly close, but Angel is winning.
Monty Mahan is out of the race for county commissioner. Tim Matthes, the Republican, was the top vote getter. Charlotte Garrido easily took second place.
Oh, and the Port of Bremerton is going to vote on the agreement it made with the tribe almost three years ago. We’ve got a story online, and, yes, it should appear in print, too.

Let’s have a Sun/Garnder story on the costs of campaigns to date between opponents. For instance let’s look at the usually sleepy (by design to numb the voter) judicial race of DANIELSON/DALTON/WALL. Did Dalton get her value for spending 500% more than Danielson to get 33% more votes? Something is missing here. Are we to infer that slicker and slicker mailers and more and more 4×8 signs over hill and dale will not sway the unwashed masses.
Let’s see the analysis from PDCs on spending. Let’s also have the Sun tough the taboo subject of conflicts of interests about local attorney giving endorsements to running (or incumbent) judges and the issue of $$$$$ given to the judicial candidates.
And also where is the censored story about the attempt to smear Danielson and the less-than-stellar denouncments of the smears from Danielson’s opponents. That was the story the Sun managed to find not newsworthy.
I’ll take my answers off the air, Steve G and Scott Ware.

Good idea… Checking the costs of each campaign v the results of the election would be interesting.
I’d also like to know the results of the county (go to them) push to register ‘homeless’ people … how many did they manage to register?
And why was it so important to single out the homeless and not the folks working so hard to support their families… why not make registering the very busy a priority too?
Curious… Sharon O’Hara
