Dear voters, With the lingering risk of COVID-19 facing our community, I want to share how we continue to provide services while protecting customers, employees and public health. All our services including voter registration, auto licensing, document recording, and finance are being handled remotely. We are fortunate in Washington to have our vote-by-mail system. It’s a model for conducting elections, and it’s never been more evident than during a pandemic. Vote-by-mail protects voters by allowing ballots to be voted in the comfort of your home. Ballots can be dropped in a ballot drop box or any mailbox without adding a stamp. It should be adopted everywhere. To ensure voter and staff safety we are moving our Voting Center to South Puget Sound Community College, Mottman Campus beginning 20 days prior to the primary and general elections. By moving voter services to SPSCC, we can provide drive-through services and better protect the public and staff. We will ensure we have great signage to the Student Union building and our campus drop box. We’ll be providing more information on our website and social media sites soon. But vote-by-mail comes with its own challenges in a pandemic. Teams of election workers usually sit at crowded tables at our Ballot Processing Center, well within the six-foot social distance needed. This is changing. We reduced risk for people processing ballots by installing plexiglass dividers, and by providing gloves and masks. We will spread staff out to social distance by doubling the number of inspection shifts. This will allow us to have half the staff in the building. Even during the March Presidential Primary, we had taken steps to protect our election workers by providing gloves and sanitization supplies. We are working hard to balance voter access with employee and public health. Thankfully, because of our vote-by-mail system, we are ahead of the game. I want to ensure you that my top priority is communicating to you any changes to our elections. I encourage you to like our Facebook page and/ or follow us on Twitter. You’ll receive the latest updates and other interesting information through these channels. If you have questions or need more information, contact our office at 360.786.5408 or [email protected] Please social distance and wear a mask. Respectfully,

That Al Gore's "Incomvenient truth" is in Community Service fact a monumental lie. Ice core temperatures from four prior No information submitted interglacial periods were higher than current levels with 300 Contact ppm CO2 far lower than current 410 ppm.

Both warming and cooling were driven by the Sun. It was the Sun that raised temperatures and CO2 levels after the last ice age, culminating in the Medieival Warming Period, Little Ice Age, and subsequent warming prior to significant fossil emissions. The increased fossil emissions have added to the Sun's impact on CO2 over the last 60 years raising level to the current 410 ppm. However it's the Sun not higher CO2 levels from increasing fossil emissions that can significantly inccrease global temperatures. The ~5 gigaton carbon (GtC) annual fossil emissions currently increase CO2 by ~2ppm. If emissions averaged 10 GtC over the next 50 years the additional 500 GtC would add 200 ppm raising the current level from 410 to 610 ppm, or from 0.041 to 0.061%, still a tiny fraction of the 96.5% CO2 that warms Venus. My campaign and stopeastlinknow blog are to expose the futility of adding trillions more in an attempt to limit global warming by reducing that increase.

Presented by Kinnon W. Williams, Attorney for Thurston Should this proposition be: County Fire District 6 Argument For Approved Is this a new tax? No, this only restores the fire levy to the $1.50 per $1,000 Rejected assessed valuation previously approved by voters. This approval was authorized in 2009 to sustain our current quality and level of emergency services. State law only allows us to increase our budget by 1% per year plus new construction. This decreases the levy rate as the assessed valuation of the district increases. For 2020 the levy rate For Committee Contact: is $1.34 per $1,000. Melvin Low [email protected] What services are supported by the fire levy? Against Committee Contact: The fire levy is the primary funding source for day-to-day operations of the fire district, which include No information submitted fire suppression, vehicle accident rescue, medical aid, special rescue operations and fire prevention services. How much will the levy restoration cost me? It will cost 16 cents per $1,000 to a homeowner whose property value is $350,000 which translates to $56.00 a year or $4.67 a month. Why does the levy need to be restored? The district is challenged by the mainline railroad between Seattle and Portland, with an average of 80 trains a day bisecting the district at two crossings and blocking apparatus trying to respond to emergencies. Subsequently, we have to staff two stations in order to provide coverage on both sides of the tracks. The expenses of the fire district will exceed the revenues in 2021 and years thereafter. East Olympia Fire District #6 will have to reduce its expenditures by reducing the hours both stations are staffed.
