					<description><![CDATA[Adam, In the words of someone famous, &quot;we ALL need a little help&quot;-- No immigration at the expense of subsistence is not a historically valid point.   

But it is right on topic for today&#039;s election day since some candidates are campaigning on that ignorant message. 

People coming here from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen are NOT coming here illegally.
But some white-trash people get upset if a Somalia family got housing assistance upon arrival. 

People from those &#039;shthole countries&#039; are not coming here to receive welfare.  
Trump&#039;s direct tweet: &quot;Why do we want all these people from &#039;shthole countries&#039; coming here?&quot;

I&#039;m sure someone thought the same about the Basque once upon a time-- (probably some Irishman)- but it certainly was not an elected President. 


So Adam, your main point is obviously directed at Mexicans and Latinos. 
But a person here without some valid documentation is not really getting much &#039;welfare&#039; other than the opportunity to work enough to send money back to their impoverished family; free emergency room medical care (as does anyone without health care) as do tourists without US health insurance; and education when they can slip into the system.  
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/no-undocumented-immigrants-arent-stealing-your-benefits_us_5a144263e4b010527d6780b0

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-undocumented-immigrants-welfare/

Perhaps we could use our resources to help our neighbors to the south instead building a useless wall. Let&#039;s improve the process instead of jamming it up more. You know, &quot;help your neighbor&quot; like the Bible says.  

If a positive immigration policy is successful, Latinos won&#039;t want to risk their lives just to work in a menial job here.  

Perhaps we could focus on helping others make a better life for themselves, whether in Mexico or Syria.

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;I’m not sure why she would use a Bulgarian host and not a more popular site...&quot;

Luckily, there are people that choose hosting services purely based on their quality and features, and not based on any geographic, political, ethnic, or any other prejudice. Prejudice and politics are not going well together.

ICDSoft is indeed a company incorporated in Bulgaria, but it has hosting servers in the United States as well - the mentioned site is hosted here in the States.

Greetings to all, ICDSoft]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Easterner, I don&#039;t think most are against immigration, although I would argue most are against the welfare that many receive.  Moreover, I would say that most are against those that come here illegally.  What people seem to forget is the welfare system has not been around since the founding of the country. Nobody should be faulted for wanting a better life, but if that better life occurs as a result of subsistence that is a different story.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I wonder how many development projects approved by Commissioners Case and Tibbs have been financed by these banks.   Hopefully some intrepid investigative reporter will follow the money.  Transparency is so illuminating.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I did a little investigation into the Bellevue Washington Office Suite. They donated $4800 to Tibbs and $5500 to Case. Jeffery Gow is part of the group, that all seems to be related, as 5 of the 7 contributors share the last name Gow, while two of them are Youngs. They all share the same Bellevue Washington address. 

Jeffery Gow is a former principal for a massive development company, Polygon Homes, they built nearly 16,000 homes since 1991. According to a Seattle Times article in 2014 Polygon sold to William Lyon Homes for $520 million. 

Gow is currently the director of Western Capital Corporation, a bank that merged with Northwest Bank in 2012. 

In my opinion, the only way to stop two individuals from having so much power over our entire county is to add more commissioners. Perhaps five...these two guys wield too much power.
 
I find it interesting that this is the first campaign Case has run without contributions from county contractors...yet. My best bet is that with the final report due after the election we&#039;ll see them all: Allied Waste, Butler Amusement and possibly the Alabama Horse Racing group. Tibbs report does show one county contractor contribution, which is Michael Brayovoch of Butler Amusement.

https://www.seattletimes.com/business/polygon-northwest-sold-for-520-million/



“Western Capital Bank and Northwest Bank operate in their markets in an almost identical manner,” said Jeff Gow, Chairman, Western Capital Bank. “Bringing these two banks together to form a larger and stronger organization focused on two of the most dynamic metropolitan areas in the Northwest will provide their business and professional clients with greater products and services at a time when the region is entering its next growth cycle,” he continued.


Western Capital Bank was formed in March 2008 to focus on the Boise Metropolitan market, and had $158 million in assets and $32.7 million in capital as of December 31, 2011. Northwest Bank was formed in June 2005 to focus on the Portland Metropolitan market, and had $104 million in assets and $8.8 million in capital as of December 31, 2011. Together, the combined banks will have one of the strongest capital ratios of any bank operating in the Northwest.

					<description><![CDATA[Rubula, 
you might instead ask Mrs. Lachiondo &quot;What is the Point?&quot;

She is certainly flying the Basque banner.  From HER website:
&quot;My grandfather came to Boise from the Basque country as a teenager and, though he had nothing, was able to build a life, successful business, and family here.&quot; 

Good for him!    
Just like TODAY, our immigrants and REFUGEES add a lot to our American society.   

People such as Trump (and some readers here) who don&#039;t agree with an open-arm policy to people from other countries (other than Norway and Slovenia), don&#039;t deserve the privilege of being here. 

So, why not &quot;call out someone&#039;s ethnic heritage&quot;?   

Go Diana!]]></description>
