Ferry workers volunteer to give up pay raises
About 1,500 state ferry workers will give up pay raises negotiated last year to ease ferry system’s financial strains, according to the Associated Press.
Forgoing the raises will save the state $18 million over the next two years.
The raises ranged from 1.6 to 10.7 percent for many workers.
Prostitution arrests…on Bainbridge?
Bainbridge police sent out this bare-bones press release today:
Bainbridge Island Police Department concluded an investigation that resulted in four (4) arrests and bookings for prostitution on Bainbridge Island. Bainbridge Island Police Detectives received assistance from Detectives and Officers from Bremerton Police Department, Seattle Police Department, Washington State Patrol and NCIS.
Detectives from the listed agencies coordinated their efforts since these suspects are known to commit crimes in each agency’s jurisdiction. Additional arrests and search warrants are likely due to the intelligence that has been gathered.
No mention of where and when. No call-backs yet from the BIPD. I’ll post more later…
UPDATE: See my new post on the arrests here.
Go get some Sun in the sun
When I first saw this Kitsap Sun headline….
“Too Few Soaking Up the Sun’s Vital Nutrient”

Nope. It was actually referring to that other sun, the one that shines behind that thick wall of clouds overhead. At this very moment, though, the sun does shine, making today a very good day to power down the ‘puter, grab a few nickels for the newspaper machine, go outside and get a simulations infusion of the Sun and sun.

Mayor Darlene Kordonowy’s 2009 State of the City
address
We’re currently facing an economic challenge more sobering than
most of us have encountered
in our lifetimes.
I’d like to take a moment to recognize some recent successes,
which stand out against the darker
background of the daily economic news, and the news we’ve heard
here tonight.
