Oh Right, The Daily Feingold
Senator Russ Feingold is going to Seattle. If you're in Seattle this Saturday you can attend a rally with US Senator Russ Feingold and your favorite King County elected officials. And while you're there, get your tickets for INXS, part of the Marymoor concert series. Even though you missed Natural Yard Days bring some organic fertilizer or homemade compost.
I don't live in King County, Washington, but I do have a favorite official (though he's not elected). Meet David Spohr, the new Rural Ombudsman for King County. Don't let the defeated look and stack of paperwork fool you. Rural communities now have an advocate who can ‘speak their language’ when it comes to the issue of property rights. But don't take my word for it. Employment Committee Vice-Chair, Larry Gossett, says, "Rural communities now have an advocate who can speak their language when it comes to the issue of property rights."
"Land use disputes will always be contentious, but if you have the right person who is qualified, credible, and knowledgeable, we can make the process less abrasive and more productive.” "Less abrasive?" Well said, David.

Wow. I haven't even started the job yet, and I am already "Through A Glass Dimly"'s "favorite official." What high praise. And don't worry, you can see I was not nearly so glum nor sporting such a "defeated look" during the bulk of the questioning.
