Yes. It's too early to predict disaster, but if not 2010 maybe 2011 or 2012. And none of the elected politicians with responsibility in this county seem to be sensing any need for action, or even preparation. It's politics as usual. While state and federal agencies have studied the Yakima...

I have reviewed a number of documents in the city of Kittitas recently and  I must say there are a number of troubling issues that have come to light.  First it was mentioned more than once in here but this is troubling for the city of Kittitas.  A city employee recieved a pay raise without council approval as per the official minutes of the city of Kittitas.  Then again this last year the same employee recieved another pay raise without council approval.  A contract with the Union specifically stated it did not represent 3 specific positions.  However the Union stated a salary they felt a position should...
