| County must reset budget approach |
Recently Island County voters soundly rejected a proposed property tax increase. In doing so, they told the Island County commissioners they want them to do what all of us have been doing lately: make do with less. The bottom line is clear: County government can’t ignore the new economic reality faced by the citizens who fund it.

| Will Coupeville still have a local paper? |
The letter arrived last week in a plain white business envelope with no return address. Inside, the question was hand-written on a plain piece of white copy paper, with no signature to indicate who wrote it: "Will Coupeville still have a local paper?"
