"Our hands are tied."
"Blame the state of Washington"
This was how Sheriff Bob Songer and Jailer Loren Culp reacteed when the sad and horrific condition of a Klickitat County Jail inmate was revealed in recent news reporting.
The vast majority of Klickitat County residents will find themselves in a new legislative district beginning April 24, the result of a federal judge's decision based on a violation of the Voting Rights Act.
Ridding our government of authoritarian-minded individuals, be they local like Songer and Culp, or be they national like Donald Trump, is a moral imperative for our nation.
