    Concerned Pebble mine hurts fishery

    As a commercial fisherman who relies on the health of the Bristol Bay salmon resource in Alaska, I was happy to see your article published April 26th discussing the EPA's release of their revised Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment.

    Questions jobs at coal terminal

    Regularly I see in The Bellingham Herald stories about new companies in our area creating new jobs, as in the May 11 paper "Coastal.com opened in fall, employs 72." Adjoining this article was "CO2 in air measured at record levels." There is no question that our economy along with jobs is improving...

    Says war machine radicalized bombers

    Yes, the shock and awe of the marathon bombing hit me first, but the thought that exploded in my head was, "We have Bush/Cheney to blame for the terror."

    Wants to let market forces work

    Now that Americans are comfortable paying $3.50 a gallon for gasoline, I believe that the local refineries should pay their fair share out of their huge profit margins. Once again, market forces have surged gasoline to $4 a gallon right before Memorial Day.

    Critical of county's vote on economic-development funds

    It has been interesting, but disheartening, to see how the Whatcom County Council has managed the county's Economic Development Investment fund. The fund accrues about $3.2 million each year from the entire county, and last year the council voted to spend $6 million of the EDI funds to help one ...

    Alleges terminal will add to global warming

    Global warming is here and has been a concern since 1922, so where are we going? The CO2 has reached the unbelievable 400 mark and still we continue to go on our merry nay-saying ways! I am urging our city and county government to make a bold stand and say no to the proposed Gateway Pacific export...

    Favors working waterfront for Bellingham

    The Bellingham Herald recently reported that downtown merchants fear that the development of the Bellingham waterfront could contribute to the further demise of the downtown. With good reason: Bellis Fair mall opened in 1988 with a mass exit by downtown's national-brand stores. More recently, CH2M...
