  • John Wolfe Pleads Strong Case Against Tariffs Greg
    TEAMW RK June 2018 | Number 218 edbTacomaPierce.org JOHN WOLFE PLEADS STRONG CASE AGAINST TARIFFS Kudos to John Wolfe. In April, the Northwest Seaport Alliance CEO testified before the United States House Ways and Means Committee about the potential economic risks tariffs could bring to the ports of Seattle and Tacoma. Wolfe testified at the recommendation of U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert. “We are deeply invested in U.S. trade policy discussions because they directly impact our core business, the success of our customers and the lives of our local residents,” Wolfe said. Marine cargo operations in Seattle and Tacoma support more than 48,000 jobs, while air cargo operations at SeaTac International Airport help create over 5,200 jobs, Wolfe told the committee. In response to U.S.-imposed tariffs, China recently levied tariffs on a wide range of American goods. That’s a problem for our local economy. Hefty volumes of goods going to and from China move through the ports of Seattle and Tacoma. “Our success as an airport and seaport gateway is inextricably linked to China,” Wolfe said. You can read Wolfe’s full testimony at bit.ly/Wolfetestimony. “As the most trade dependent county in the most trade dependent state in the U.S., Pierce County has a lot at stake in the current debate over tariffs and trade,” said EDB President and CEO Bruce Kendall. “We are fortunate to have John Wolfe deliver the free trade message to policy makers in Washington, DC.” On the heels of Wolfe’s testimony, now is a great time to contact your congressional members and senators.

  • Bellevue High School WIAA Investigation
    Bellevue High School WIAA Investigation 1 WIAA Report – issues It is not the responsibility of BHS coaches to monitor players’ addresses. No WIAA rule requires coaches to investigate the validity of players’ addresses. o That responsibility lies appropriately with the district. Yet, the report misplaces blame and assumes BHS football coaches be held accountable for address verification No Bellevue School District Coach employed to coach, men or women, sports o have been asked or are required to validate addresses It is the best interest of the district, high school administration and coaches that o District Officials remain responsible for student admittance and eligibility Why would the WIAA assume it is football coaches responsibility to verify o addresses, if a student was enrolled and deemed eligible in a varsity sport prior to playing varsity football A student is not a transfer into BHS, if they have attended middle school within o BSD boundary or enrolled prior to grade 9 2 WIAA Report – issues All BHS coaches have been compensated within the WIAA’s rules. o The report acknowledges payments to coaches to be “technically correct” under the WIAA’s rules, yet it goes out of its way to show cumulative payments over a 10-year span to make the report appear more inflammatory. o The report is selective in its language and deliberately distorts the WIAA rule regarding coaches’ payments. The rule states: “Coaching stipends and all gifts to a coach exceeding a total of $500 in a season must be approved by the school’s board of directors.” o The report omits this important “in a season” distinction covered by WIAA Rule 23.1.1, which allows payments to be made to coaches outside of the season, and for duties other than high school coaching.
