We are barely climbing out of the hole left by the recession and the district budget cuts of the past several years. Don’t set us up for a do-over. Vote “yes,” “yes,” “yes” for Bellevue schools and mail in your ballot.
Are evaluations ever going to be done in a timely manner so that inmates will not have to wait days and months? This is a serious problem in the court system.
When my family moved here in 1972, my father chose to live here because of the Bellevue School District’s outstanding reputation. I moved back to Bellevue after graduate school, because of the school district.
I appreciate the votes and support of all those who elected me to the East Bellevue Community Council.

Congratulations to newly elected Mayor Claudia Balducci and Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace.
In 2008, the Supreme Court decision District of Columbia v Heller recognized the individual’s right to own a handgun.

As current and former members of the Bellevue School Board, we are united in our endorsement of the measures being placed before voters on the February ballot.
We believe Mayor Conrad Lee should continue to be Bellevue’s Mayor. Mayor Lee’s active promotion of Bellevue to the international community has greatly promoted interest in Bellevue, Seattle, and Washington State as a whole in businesses based overseas. Prominent examples would be his signing of major business agreements with Chinese companies, such as the agreement with Beijing Construction and Engineering Group International signed during the recent Washington State trade mission to China, and his interview with the Wall Street Journal to promote the City of Bellevue.
Relating to the incident at Eastside Catholic, first, this is a religious institution, which believes and attempts to follow the Holy Scriptures (Bible) which calls homosexuality a abomination.Second, I feel sorrow over the fact that this school apparently is not teaching their students the truth of the Bible.Third, I pray that the students will recognize and acknowledge the truth of god’s word and accept it.
