Arrival at basic training
this week marks fulfillment
of long-held desire
By Josh Johnson
Splash Staff Writer
At 1500 hours on Sunday, Kyle Pagliaro
reported for duty in Spokane Valley. Today,
he is in Fort Benning, Ga., where he will
spend 10 weeks in basic training and an additional four in advanced individual training for infantry school. If all goes according
to plan, he will be on the front lines in Afghanistan in the not-too-distant future.
What type of person signs up for this? A
special type, said Army recruiter and Liberty Lake resident Sgt. Ethan Carrasco, who
often put Pagliaro in charge at the weekly
future soldier training held for Spokanearea recruits.
“Kyle is definitely a born leader,” he said.
“If he does something, he is going to go all
the way with it. I can see him as not just
a sergeant or staff sergeant; I wouldn’t be
surprised if he goes command sergeant
major.”
Pagliaro’s mother, Karen Pagliaro, glows
with pride for her son, who she raised as a
single parent for the past 10 years. She has
also already tasted the apprehension that
comes from being an “Army mom.”
“When he was 17, Kyle came home one
kyle pagliaro
day and told me he was joining the service,”
she said. “I thought he had already joined
from the way he was talking. Right about
then, I had some fear. So did his sister. And
he wanted to go infantry and be on the
front lines serving his country.”
Last Friday — about 50 hours before officially reporting — the 2010 Central Valley
High School graduate sat down with The
Splash to talk about his ambition to serve
and his plans for the future.
Q.
That day when you came home
and told your mom you planned
to join the military — was that
when you first believed this was the path
for you, or was this the culmination of a
long-held ambition?
A.
Way before 17, I knew I was going
to do the military choice. Talking
to my high school counselor, she
would say, “Here’s some packages for Running Start or college,” and she was trying to
send me down that path, and I said, “No,
I think I’m going to do the military.” And
she was great. She said that was great. … It
was probably somewhere like (age) 10 or

NEWS
Nov. 11, 2010 • Police Report
The following incidents, arrests, calls for
service and citations were reported by the
Liberty Lake Police Department for Nov.
1-8.
Incidents and arrests:
• Arrest — LLPD arrested a 33-year old
Spokane Valley man at 8:30 p.m. Nov. 1
at Indiana and Glenbrook for attempted
second degree assault on an officer,
attempt to elude police, driving while
his license is suspended and attempted
residential burglary. Officer Mike Thomas
spotted the man’s vehicle in a suspicious
area while conducting prowl checks. As
Thomas tried to stop the vehicle, the
suspect drove into an embankment,
reversed quickly and drove up an embankment to get away from the officer.
The officer took evasive action to avoid
a collision and lost sight of the vehicle as
the suspect turned off all of his lights as
he drove away. Thomas later located the
vehicle and determined the driver knew
he had a suspended license and that’s
why he fled. The investigation also revealed the suspect was in the area trying
to contact an ex-girlfriend and tried to
break into her home after the confrontation with the officer. The suspect was
booked into the county jail.
• Protection order violation — LLPD
received report of a protection order violation at 12:45 p.m. Nov. 2 at the 22900
block of East Valleyway. The complainant
stated he had received two phone calls
from the respondent in a served protection order. It was determined that calling
the complainant was in violation of the
order and the case was referred to the
Spokane County Prosecutor’s Office for
the filing of charges.
• Protection order violation — On
Nov. 3 at 6:15 p.m., LLPD received a
report of a protection order violation
that occurred the day before at the
21400 block of East Rockrose Lane. The
complainant stated her ex-boyfriend had
violated a recently served protection
order by attempting to pick up their child
from a school located on East Fourth
Street. The complainant further stated
the respondent in the order violated
the protection order by sending two
text messages. The officer attempted to
contact the respondent in the order but
did not receive a response. The case was
forwarded to Detective Ray Bourgeois
for a charging request to be sent to the
prosecutor’s office.
• Protection order violation — On
Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m., LLPD received report
of a protection order violation that
occurred earlier in the day at the 1900
block of North Caufield Road. The complainant stated her sister was receiving
messages from an ex-boyfriend who is
the respondent in the protection order.
It was determined that it is a violation
of the order for any third party contact.
Officers attempted to locate the suspect
at his residence and at his work but were
not successful. The case has been forwarded to Bourgeois for the purpose of
requesting a warrant for the suspect.
• Reckless driving — A 16-year-old
male from Greenacres was arrested on
Nov. 3 at 7:05 p.m. at Henry and Sprague
Avenue for reckless driving. The officer
observed a black BMW pull out of the
Safeway parking lot and turn west on
Country Vista without its headlights on.
The officer noticed the vehicle accelerating rapidly on Country Vista and passing
several cars. The vehicle then turned
onto Henry Road from Country Vista
Drive and the vehicle was then locked
in on radar at 70 mph in a 35 mph zone
where there was a group of bicyclists
and other vehicles in the roadway.
The officer was able to get the vehicle
stopped at Henry and Sprague. The
driver was arrested for reckless driving.
The suspect’s mother arrived at the stop
location and the suspect was released
into her custody after being issued a
criminal citation for reckless driving.
• Arrest — A 41-year-old Post Falls
man was arrested Nov. 4 at 4 p.m. at
Interstate 90 and milepost 295. The
vehicle was initially stopped due to the
registered owner of the vehicle being
suspended in both Idaho and Washington for unpaid tickets.
• Drug possession — A 26-year-old
Spokane Valley man was arrested Nov. 6
at 3:45 p.m. at the 2200 block of North
Harvard Road for possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and
DWLS. The driver was initially stopped
for not wearing a seatbelt. It was determined his driver’s status was suspended.
The driver was arrested and during the
search of his person the officer located a
smoking device in his pants pocket. The
K9 team, Officer Mark Van Hyning and
dog J.J. searched the inside of the vehicle
and paraphernalia and/or marijuana
were found in the glove box, passenger
side floorboard, a child passenger seat,
underneath the driver’s seat and a truckbed mounted tool box.
• Protection order violation — On
Nov. 5 at 11 p.m., LLPD received report
of a protection order violation that occurred earlier in the day at the 600 block
of North Madson Court. The complainant stated his ex-wife had called him
several times throughout the day and
spoke to both him and his current wife.
The suspect then continued to call and
leave messages after the respondent
stopped answering the phone. The case

Optometrist Laura Fischer plans to open her new practice at Lakeside Vision next
week in Liberty Lake at the Aspen Ridge Plaza.
New optometrist sets
sights on Liberty Lake
By Kelly Moore
Splash Staff Writer
Optometrist Laura Fischer is settling
into Liberty Lake with her new practice,
Lakeside Vision, located in Suite 3 of Aspen Ridge Plaza at 22106 E. Country Vista
Drive.
Fischer expects the office to be up and
running next week, and patrons can look
for a grand opening sometime after the
holidays.
“I’m just very excited about ownership
and making the big decisions,” Fischer said.
“It was my dream in optometry school to
have my own business.”
Right now, Lakeside Vision will only
house Fischer — and that’s what she’s focusing on. Somewhere down the road,
though, she’d be happy to see the place
grow.
“Hopefully, someday we’ll be a big practice with lots of doctors, but we’ll see how
it goes,” Fischer said. In the meantime, she
doesn’t plan on going anywhere.
“I’m glad I’m going to be permanently
here,” Fischer said. “I love it here. It’s a great
community.”
She explained that keeping close tabs
on her client base was difficult when she
moved around from practice to practice.
Since graduating from optometry school,
Fischer has bounced around working for
other doctors in Coeur d’Alene, Spokane
and Spokane Valley. Fischer grew up in the
area and has lived in Liberty Lake with her
family for about two and half years.
She said patients can expect to be welcomed by a warm atmosphere and caring
staff at Lakeside Vision, and new faces are
always welcome.
“Hopefully (clients) will enjoy stopping
in — not just annually for their exams, but
periodically to see what new frames we have
or maybe to pick up some sunglasses.”
Lakeside Vision will carry Michael Kors,
Marc by Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Guess,
Juicy Couture, Oakley and other house
brands.
Lakeside Vision will serve patients of all
ages, but Fischer has a passion for youth.
“My greatest enjoyment is giving kids
their first pair of glasses,” Fischer explained.
“When you get a kid that’s never seen even
stars in the sky, they come in and we put on
the trial frames and say ‘OK, go look out
the window.’ It’s just amazing.”
Fischer is also a partner with InfantSEE, a
public health program developed to provide
professional eye care to infants nationwide.
Through the program, Fischer provides a
one-time comprehensive eye assessment to
children under the age of 1.
Even for such young patients, Fischer
said she is able to check for eye alignment,
color vision, diseases and general health.
“My drive is to make sure that kids get
their eyes checked soon,” Fischer said. She
explained that parents sometimes get a false
sense of security from school exams that
catch only 60 percent of problem cases.
Fischer said parents can look for signs of
possible vision problems in children like
sitting too close to the TV, complaining
about and rubbing eyes, or having little interest in coloring.

CVHS Sports Roundup
Football season ends with loss
The CV Bears football team saw their
season come to an end with a 35-7 loss to
Chiawana High School in a 4A Eastern Regional football playoff game last Friday in
Pasco. After trailing 14-0 at the half, the
Bears got back into the game at the start
of the second half by recovering an onside
kick, marching downfield and cutting the
lead in half on a one-yard touchdown run
by Gaven Deyarmin.
Chiawana responded by driving down
for a touchdown to reopen their two-touchdown lead which they never relinquished
on their way to victory. The CV offense was
led by running back Brandon Garcia who
rumbled for 116 yards on 20 carries while
Deyarmin threw for 119 yards. The Bears
ended their season with a record of 6-4.

See VETERANS, page 21
“You’re welcome,” I tell my
2-year-old after topping off her
apple juice.
No response, so I clear my
throat.
“You’re welcome, Jaysa.”
Cue the crickets.
“Jaysa, what do you say when
someone does something nice
for you?”
“Thank you,” she finally belts
out, making up with enthusiasm
what she lacked in instinct.
Veterans Day is like this for
me, except I’m the 2-year-old.
Most days of the year, I slide
through my free existence,
worshipping as I please at my
above-ground church, printing
a newspaper without clearing
content with authorities, casting
a vote in an election that counts
the same toward the final tally
as Barack Obama’s.
Sad but true, life in America
can sometimes make one feel as
entitled as a 2-year-old. Thank
you? Thank what? Isn’t this the
way life is? Aren’t these truths
self-evident? Of course you
filled my apple juice glass. Cause
that’s what I asked you to do.
News flash: The apple juice
isn’t free. Neither are my daughter’s myriad toys or her Happy
Meal addiction or the fact every
time she sucks her thumb I’m
mentally tabulating how my insurance plan will hold up at the
orthodontist’s office.
Neither did my freedom come
without a hefty invoice, which is
why I love Veterans Day. It reminds me of a couple inter-related truths. 1. Not everyone in the
world has it this good. 2. Having
it this good ought not be taken
for granted. Like I try to tell my
daughter, saying “thank you” is
about far more than living up to
a code of common courtesy. It’s
a matter of the heart and a way
to gauge how connected to — or
insulated from — we are to the
people around us.
A gratitude that is practiced
is one that regularly acknowledges the sacrifices American
men and women of uniform
have made — and continue to
make — to preserve the freedoms we enjoy. And this repetition of thankfulness makes a
connection with the heart. The
more we remember, the more
we acknowledge, the more in
touch we become with the reality of sacrifice and the deep
meaning of freedom.
Saying thank you is good for
us, good for who we are as human beings. I hope it also resonates with the veterans. When I
thank the veterans I encounter,
I’m always struck by the humility and graciousness of their
response. Unlike me with my
daughter, they never asked me
for my gratitude. Yet how different is the world they see, shaped
as they are by experiences and
sacrifices I cannot begin to understand? I’ve got to believe our
freedoms look quite a bit different when the required sacrifices are experienced firsthand,
perhaps known by a first name.
Military families experience
this, too, for their sacrifice is
also great.
For the rest of us, I hope we
experience this Veterans Day
as more than a vacation or fine
print on a calendar. After all,
it’s a day that edifies as well as
honors.
There are 40-some men and
women listed on these pages,
not to mention the hundreds
of others in our community we

Businesses, community encouraged
to embrace military families
By Josh Johnson
Splash Staff Writer
LIBERTY LAKE — The
military is not a place for
easy assignments, but the
most difficult tasks aren’t
always born by the people
wearing the uniforms.
“The most difficult job in
the Army is being an Army
wife, that’s what we always
say,” said Army Sgt. Ethan
Carrasco, a Liberty Lake
resident who works as a
recruiter in the Spokane
area.
Military families, like the
many in Liberty Lake and throughout
the nation, often deal with extended
absences from their loved ones — not
to mention the apprehension that
comes with the nature of the work.
And friends don’t always understand
or fully appreciate the commitment
and the sacrifice required of the families.
Karen Pagliaro, whose son Kyle reported to basic training this week, believes there’s room for the community
to do a greater job of rallying around
military families.
“What I don’t like is people asking
me why can’t I stop Kyle. That’s really
bothered me,” she said. “This is a special, all-volunteer force. I know this
is what he is meant to do and wants
to do. The people serving now in this
volunteer force, these are amazing
people.”
Pagliaro said she doesn’t watch the
news, and even many television shows
commonly feature military storylines
that cause the mind to wander. Instead,
she is focused on spreading awareness
of those serving in the military. With
the help of friends, she recently made
some yellow ribbons and posted them
outside her Liberty Lake home.
In addition, Pagliaro said
she has started offering
military discounts at her
salon, Karen Does My
Hair — “and I’d like to
challenge other businesses to do the same thing,
showing honor for the
most honorable people we
have.”
Stephen Luna, a licensed
massage practitioner and
owner of Therapeutic
Moon Massage in Liberty Lake, needs to look no
further than his own family for motivation to reach
out to the military community. His father is an Air Force veteran,
his older brother was in the Marine
Corps and his younger brother is a
para-rescue jumper in the Air Force.
Luna already offers members of the
military — and their spouses — halfprice massages for life, and on Thursday he will be giving complimentary
half-hour massages to members of
the military for Veterans Day.
“I know how much massage can
help our military community by
helping them cope with post-traumatic stress disorder as well as helping their musculature recover from
the physical traumas that it goes
through,” Luna said.
Sgt. Carrasco said it’s unfortunate
more people don’t reach out to military families or support members of
their own families in the military.
“Most everyone I know who’s an
American supports the troops, but
when it comes down to sending their
own sons and daughters, the support
goes away,” he said. “For somebody to
volunteer to give their heart and even
their very lives for the cause of freedom, that’s something that should be
honored by all people.”
PROUD
Continued from page 12. In elementary school, hearing that song,
“Proud to be an American,” I’d always get
butterflies. I’ve always had this strong compassion for my country, and I always thought
this was something I
wanted to do. I can get
my degree outside the
military or inside the
military.
Q: So when you
made that decision,
what was the process
like for you moving
forward with it?
PAGLIARO
A: When I sat down
with Carrasco (his
Army recruiter), I remember I didn’t ask
him about the benefits — the pay, am I going to travel. I just asked him about the job
I wanted to do, which is 11 bravo (infantry).
… I want to not just do infantry my whole
career, but do Airborne, HALO school and
get in the best condition I can and hopefully do Ranger school. … To be honest, I
just found out how much I’m getting paid
30 minutes ago. I just figured I was going
to get enough. That’s all I needed to be able
to survive.
Q: So do you see the Army as a career,
or how long are you planning to serve?
A: I signed up for the basic four-year
commitment, but I know I’m probably going to end up staying there longer. I don’t
want to go through all the training, get
done with learning what I want to do and
then (not have time to do it). I want to do
as many tours, I want to do as much as I can
in the military — get the knowledge from it,
the experience of it. I’ve got a good feeling
I’ll sign for another four years, if not more.
Q: You’re headed to basic training. How
do you feel about the reputation these
next few weeks have for pushing you to
the maximum?
A: Everyone already says, “Don’t stick out
to your drill sergeant. Don’t even let him
know your name. Hope he learns your name
the last day you’re there.” But I’ve always got
the best drive from people nailing me. … So
whenever I see people struggling, like if I go
with my friends to work out, it’s like, “five
more.” I love just seeing people succeeding

just keeps his mouth shut. I want to get my
foot in every door I can. I want them to be
like, “Kyle’s one of my top dudes.”
Q: You’ve lived in Liberty Lake most of
your life. Anything in particular stand out
to you about the community?
A: I’m glad to grow up in Liberty Lake.
You can’t go anywhere and not recognize
someone you know. … When I bring friends
that have never been in Liberty Lake, they’re
like, “Hey, there’s a guy going through the
Taco Bell drive-thru with his golf cart. And
I say, “Yeah, that happens.”
Q: What kind of emotions have been
going through your mind as the reality of
leaving sets in?
A: Ten weeks ago, it was like, “OK, I leave
in 10 weeks. I’m ready to go tomorrow.”
About five weeks, it was still “let’s go.” Then
three weeks away, I was like, “Holy crap, I
need to spend time with my friends more.”
And my mom goes, “When are you going
to hang out with me?” And I say, “Lucky for
you, you’ll have me for the rest of your life.”
… (My friends and I) are sounding like old
men sitting in bars — “Remember that field
over there where he slipped” or whatever.
We’re doing that, and I’m glad we’re doing
that because I’m having all these memories.

News
Chase’s lead widens as election all but decided
LL voters offer heavy support
to Republican candidates
By Josh Johnson
Splash Staff Writer
Barring a mathematical improbability,
Liberty Lake resident Rob Chase will complete his journey from last-minute write-in
candidate to Spokane County Treasurer by
the time the election is certified Nov. 23.
Chase, a Republican active in the local
Tea Party movement, has 50.9 percent support and a 2,500-vote advantage with about
32,000 ballots left to be counted as of Monday. His opponent, incumbent Democrat
D.E. “Skip” Chilberg, would have to receive
54 percent of the remaining ballots to even
the race.
“I’m pretty optimistic,” Chase said. “I
have a friend who is a math whiz, and he
said at this point Chilberg would have a less
than 1 percent chance.”
The victory is especially gratifying as
Chase only entered the race eight days before the primary election, announcing a
write-in candidacy after many ballots had
already been cast. After doubling the 1 percent showing required to advance to the
November ballot, Chase embarked on a
low-budget campaign, raising about $8,000
for signs and radio advertising and focusing
his doorbelling efforts on local businesses.
In the end, he attributed a nationwide
Republican surge, some anti-incumbent
tendencies and a lack of campaigning on
Chilberg’s part as big reasons for his apparent victory. He also said the support of the
Tea Party movement and name recognition
garnered in past failed runs for office helped
his cause.
“I did have some name recognition from
when I ran before, especially against (former U.S. Rep. George) Nethercutt,” Chase
said, referring to his Libertarian candidacy
for the U.S. House of Representatives in
2002 and Washington State Senate in 2000.
“(In those races), I drew pretty evenly from
Republicans and Democrats.”
Should his lead hold up, Chase knows
how he will proceed once he’s sworn into
office in early January.
“The first thing I’d do is talk to all the people and find out what is going on and what
we need to change and who does what,” he
said. “Also, we will start talking about better visibility of the county money. One thing
I’d like to do is on the website have an executive summary where the average citizen
can pretty much tell where the money is at
– where is that money going if there’s a surplus and how are they plugging that hole if
there’s a deficit.”
Chase said one more thing that resonated
with voters was his viewpoint that America’s
founders wanted to “protect from insularity
in office.” He said he has pledged to serve no
more than two terms as treasurer.
Chase fared more than 11 points better in
Liberty Lake precincts than countywide,
pulling 62.1 percent of the vote. But Republicans swept every partisan race on the ballot among Liberty Lake voters.
Consider popular Spokane County Auditor Vicky Dalton, who was one of the few
local Democrats celebrating last week as she
cruised to re-election with 56.4 percent of
the vote. In Liberty Lake precincts, Dalton
gained just 48.1 percent of the vote, and
only 45.7 percent inside city limits, voters
pulling instead for Republican challenger
Leonard Christian.
In the U.S. Congressional races, Liberty
Lake voted nearly two to one (65.8 percent)
in favor of Republican Dino Rossi in his ultimately failed bid to unseat U.S. Sen. Patty
Murray. A full 70 percent of residents supported Republican U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers in her easy return trip to the
U.S. House of Representatives.
In Spokane County’s most high-profile
race, the battle between incumbent Democrat Bonnie Mager and Republican challenger Al French, French polled 59.9 percent
of the vote in Liberty Lake (he was leading
countywide Monday with 50.8 percent).
Mager fared best in precinct 4029 with 47.4
percent. This is the unincorporated precinct
in which a piece of property was recently rezoned by County Commissioners to allow
it to be broken into parcels and developed,
a decision that was criticized by lake protection enthusiasts and several neighbors.
Mager was the lone dissenting vote in the
2-1 decision.
Far and away the most Republican of Liberty Lake’s six precincts was 4303, which is
located in the southeast portion of the city
of Liberty Lake, mostly around MeadowWood Golf Course. More than eight in 10
precinct 4303 voters supported McMorrisRodgers.

Improv group delights Liberty Lake audience
By Frank Cruz-Aedo
Liberty Lake Voices
On Oct. 29, the Liberty Lake Community Theatre presented “Three Chairs and The Truth,” and it was improv in
Liberty Lake at its finest.
Leader and performer Pat Thomas filled each of the
three chairs with talented improvisers of the comedic
kind: Chase Feldmann, Heather Atkinson and Stephen
Holcomb. Improv is unscripted and involves audience interaction.
With games and skits such as “One Act Freeze Tag,”
where performers would cut into the middle of a scene
as ballroom dancers do with a dance, “The Silent Game,”
which was all mime set to classical music, and “What If,”
which challenged the troupe to act out as talking animals
— everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. Afterwards,
Thomas said audience participation was key and lent itself
to a successful night.
In one bit, the key words supplied from the audience
were “envelope” and “shotgun,” and the improvisation began with the first two characters arguing about “Nicholas
three chairs and the truth
opening all those envelopes manually with a letter opener.” When “freeze!” was called out, the next performer
stepped in and took the story to a different place. The audience was laughing its head off with each turn. Then the
conversation switched to Holcomb and his back-Bayou
Louisiana accent talking about the Remington shotgun
and “n’ wonder you missed — yer holdin’ the dang thang
backwards!”
In “What if animals could talk and walk on their hind
legs,” Atkinson was convincing as the mama mammal and
Thomas hilarious as the firstborn already walking on his
hind legs, but a bully to his younger sibling Feldmann, not
letting him have any shared “mommy time.” The crowd
was in stitches.
Two other skits worthy of mention was the troupe miming an attempt to cook and flavor tofu that was so funny
they had people squirming with laughter in their seats.
And the “Death by ____,” wherewith the audience gave
common items for the performers to die by, was downright priceless. Death by a vacuum cleaner, death by an
IBM (vs. an Apple computer), death by a bustier and the
crowd favorite: death by a Jack-O-Lantern where Stephen
Holcomb worked up a sweat and did a fabulous job of
portraying the victim and the headless horseman at the
same time all by himself.
It was a great evening of fun and the best $2 value you
could ever find for the truth and three chairs of great performers.

— Mayor Wendy Van Orman
Thank you, Mayor Van Orman. I assure you, our priority for living in Liberty
Lake is not to give a 67 percent raise to the
mayor and 60 percent pay raises to seven
Council members. The city we want to be
includes a well-maintained golf course and
a full-service library.
“Liberty Lake will truly become the best
place to live, work and play when we realize
that local public offices should not be about
politics, but honest, committed service between friends and neighbors.”
— Odin Langford
Well stated, Mr. Langford. City Council
positions are not meant to be career opportunities. Why is it politicians lose sight
of their sincere desire to be part of a thriving community and let greed interfere with
good sense? With dollar signs dangling
before the Council’s collective eyes, you
are losing sight of what attracts people to
Liberty Lake. It is definitely not for the opportunity to support politicians who give
themselves large pay raises while reducing
hours for key city employees.
“I believe that government should be wise
stewards of the public funds and that fiscal
responsibility is an operational imperative
and not just a hopeful aspiration.”
— Ryan Romney
Absolutely, Mr. Romney. Wise stewards
should understand that acquiring large
pay raises while reducing key personnel
does not equal fiscal responsibility. Would
you ever consider cutting City Council
positions instead of library hours and golf
course personnel in order to allow the city
of Liberty Lake to continue its quest to be
a family friendly place to live, work and
play?

City Council and mayor pay
increases must be a misprint
Many employees in Spokane and Liberty
Lake are now working for reduced salaries,
have fewer benefits or reduced hours from
a year ago. Worst case scenario: Some are
no longer employees at all. They’re doing
everything they can to stay within their
new smaller household budgets. They
have to say “no” to many things they took
for granted not too long ago. There are
many people in our communities making
this new reduced standard of living work
for their families. They now make tough
decisions every day about their finances
— every day.
I thought most people knew the real
state of the economy and the tremendous
sacrifices being made by local citizens.
I read the figures in the Nov. 4 Splash
(page 8) about the mayor and City Council’s intended salary increase. It indicates a
proposal for “a 60 percent increase in salary and wages for council members and a
67 percent increase for the mayor.” Dear
editor, please tell your readers this is a
typographical error in numbers. I cannot
imagine in this economy that these could
be anything other than an editor’s oversight.
C.S. Severe
Liberty Lake
Website comment: Officials’
pay raises should be shelved
I didn’t read the Splash until Saturday
morning before heading out to the gym.
On page 8, I got to the article covering the city budget and how part of the
budget could be to give the mayor a 67
percent increase in pay and the Council
members a 60 percent increase in pay. I
thought “that has to be a typo,” they must
mean a 6.0 and 6.7 percent increase. How
can the mayor and City Council in these
dire times, with all the cutbacks and layoffs, have the audacity to give themselves
a raise?
I was at the City Council meeting last
month where the Mayor was in tears
about the layoffs and tax increases. Yet
even with the tax increase that all of us
will feel, it won’t be so bad for them,
with their 60-67 percent increase in pay.
So what if they increase taxes — what’s
$200 more in taxes per year when you
get a few thousand dollar raise to take
its place?
When the economy went south, my employer told everyone there would be no
raises until things evened out. That meant
I would go two years without a raise. I was
willing to make the sacrifice so that there
wouldn’t be layoffs. Why can’t the mayor
and City Council do the same? If they
do that, less tears will be shed and more
smiles on the faces of the Liberty Lake
residents.
