    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.

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...
