    Rick Haverinen, The Journal|Updated Nov 25, 2024

    RITZVILLE - He makes over-sized connectors that look like something you would use to hook up your space shuttle, if you had such a thing. At first blush, you would think these plugs and sockets were for electrical power or data lines. But not so. One of the common uses is for pneumatics - think of tubing rather than wires. Chris Burrows, 64, the Ritzville anchor, is half of the ownership of Twintec. The other half is Steve Burrows of Kent, and he is indeed a twin. "He runs...

  • Legislature should cut bureaucrat wages

    Mark Harmsworth|Updated Nov 25, 2024

    When Jay Inslee took the job as governor in 2013, the state’s annual operating budget was approximately $38.4 billion.

The state does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending proble...

So then what happens? Your grandchildren think you have all the answers.” Doc leaned over conspiratorially. “I LIVE to embarrass my grandchildr...
