Lower Columbia Area speaks up: Letters to the editor for the week of Aug. 1, 2025
- Updated
Our weekly round-up of letters published in the Daily News.
The current Republican administration is embarking on the most radical reactionary program in this country’s history.
A misbegotten trade war, combined with fiscal irresponsibility and the attempt to transmogrify the Constitution along the lines proposed in Project 2025, have led us to this — whatever this is.
The administration’s disinterment of mercantilism and regressive trickle-down economics is an example of Zombie Economics. The current resurrection of ideas properly buried by modern economic theory and empirical evidence, needs to be drastically modified or economic growth will be significantly slowed.
The administration’s America-first trade policies are based on faulty economic reasoning. The self-contradictory nature of protectionism was fully revealed by David Hume, Scottish philosopher, in a famous 1752 essay, “Of the Balance of Trade.” He wrote that protectionism shrinks markets, therefore reducing overall income and wealth. The expansion of trade among countries allows for increased specialization and division of labor, hence total output, income and wealth. This places the president’s beliefs about the efficacy of tariffs and protectionism at least 273 years out of date.
The ideological belief that the solution to perceived economic malaise always involves shrinking the public sector has been buried by empirical evidence. It is apparent that MAGA-infused economics is a curious confused mixture of defunct economic doctrines combined with a restrictionist immigration policy that will shrink the labor force and retard its growth.
How are policies based on historic failures a path to a better future?

Well folks, looks like this Longview City Council race is a good one.
It’s interesting to see who is running. I’ve been told it looks good from the outside looking in, but when candidates get in, it’s a lot different with all the laws and every thing else that the state wants done.
Then elected leaders’ eyes open up, and in their mind they think “This is not what I expected.”

Recently, I saw a shirt that said “Elect Clowns, Expect a Circus.”
We should keep the circus at the fairgrounds and out of City Hall. I’m tired of the shenanigans of some of the current City Council members.
Here’s our opportunity to get a slate of educated and mature people on the council. One of them is Wayne Nichols. His background, work experience and attitude are just what our fair city needs to get us back on course.
If you haven’t met him yet, I hope you’ll find the opportunity. He is a fine gentleman and I know you’ll be as impressed as I am. He will do a terrific job for Longview and get us back on the right track.

At the June precinct committee, meeting all the Longview City Council members were invited to make a statement.
Spencer Boudreau without a doubt commanded the meeting; he knows the city and has straightforward solutions to continually serve Longview’s future.
He knew exactly how many city police serve on the force, how many stop lights are in town, challenges with various sewer projects. He’s by far the leading candidate to serve Longview City Council.
Thank you Spencer for your outstanding service and your commitment to the community! It’s refreshing to see someone who leads with passion, cares about fiscal responsibility and has clear solutions for the future.
Blessings!

The ill-advised, hastily thrown together new “zero-tolerance” ordinance drafted as the RECLAIM Act will likely cost us taxpayers more money.
City officials are in negotiations with the county on jail costs, with an anticipated $108 a day for jail services, not including prosecution, public defense or court costs.
However, HOPE Village costs $82 per day with access to meals and case management, according to city leaders. The cost of the severe weather shelter is even less, they say.
Is it an effective use of our tax dollars to arrest, jail and pay legal expenses for our unhoused population versus helping them get on a path to wellness and re-enter society? After the person is released from jail, they are usually right back on the street and the cycle begins again. Surely this is not the answer for a city that is already facing a budget crisis resulting in departmental cuts and layoffs.
Let’s be smart about how we spend our tax dollars. No one wants to see people living on the street, no matter how you feel about them. The solution seems to be to help them get stabilized, find a safe place to live so that they can start to find a new way forward, and hopefully stay off the street permanently.
The new resolution does exactly the opposite of that.

A recent letter to the editor states the United States is not systemically racist.
This ignores 500 years of de facto and de jure evidence. From the Trail of Tears, Jim Crow laws, thousands of lynchings — many of them advertised in newspapers – and the paucity of prosecutions, The Chinese Exclusion acts, and Oregon’s “Sundown” laws, and the Tulsa and Elaine, Arkansas massacres.
Pauli Murray has compiled a 700-page tome “States’ Laws on Race and Color” with the texts from all states showing racist laws. Also, a visit to the “Equal Justice Initiative” in Montgomery, Alabama will erase any notion that we are not a nation of racism.

You printed two articles on page 2 of Lively on July 19, which both concerned the natural world.
The first was on our modern noise and how to turn down volume and protect wildlife in our yard. The second article was on tips for illuminating your home’s exterior.
However, there was no consideration of light pollution which affects the diurnal rhythm of wildlife (and humans). Also no thought to the added electricity usage (cost to homeowner and global warming to produce). There was no suggestion of timers or motion sensors so lights are not on all night.
I like to see stars and neighbors; all-night lights are making this difficult.

PJ Peterson is exactly what the Longview City Council needs right now.
Her life experience makes her perfectly qualified to help lead Longview into the next several years.
You might think that being a respected doctor would leave her little time to participate in the community, but no. In addition to leadership roles in her medical life, she was named LCC’s Alumna of the Year in 2017, served on the board of directors for both St. John Medical Center and the Columbia Theatre, been involved at top levels for Cabaret Follies, and currently serves on Longview’s Sister City Commission. There’s a lot more, but space here is limited.
Most important to Longview right now is a clear understanding of what true collaboration looks like. Collaboration is about more than just getting the four votes necessary to pass something. It’s not just about winning — it’s about discovering the best ideas. PJ will listen to all sides of an issue and respectfully talk through differences with both citizens from all segments of the population and her fellow City Council members. She will vote based on what will benefit Longview — and it won’t matter if solutions come from her or someone else.
PJ loves Longview but also knows it can be better. We desperately need a calm, smart, energetic, enthusiastic, respectful problem solver.
Please join me in voting for PJ Peterson.

In many local elections, most of the public doesn’t really get to know those running for office, and would benefit from a little input from those who do know one or more candidates.
So I plan to tell you a little about the individual I strongly recommend for election to Longview City Council: Mike Claxton.
I worked in the same law office with Mike Claxton for about 18 years before I retired. Although I was one of Mike’s seniors in the office, it was not uncommon for me to approach him for counsel in dealing with one of the legal or social issues that I struggled with.
Mike is a good problem solver, and although no one always has the exact correct answer to a problem, I always knew Mike had the best interests of our clients and the public in mind when offering solutions.
In addition to his regular legal work, Mike spent many years being the office manager, concerning himself with the office finances, personnel and planning for the office future.
Mike is intelligent, hard-working and caring, and is an individual who would always have the best interests of the city of Longview and its residents at heart.

Nearing the end of my eight years on the Longview City Council — including four years as your mayor — I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for the honor and privilege it has been to serve this community.
Now, it’s time for new leadership. We need a new generation of civic-minded individuals who are ready to serve with integrity, responsibility and vision. With that in mind, I’m proud to endorse PJ Peterson, Oliver Black and Wayne Nichols for City Council.
Each of these candidates has demonstrated a strong commitment to our community through service on city boards and in local organizations. They are ethical, hardworking and dedicated to making Longview a better place to live, work, play and stay.
We have seen that polarizing councils polarize communities, and we need City Council members who will lead with integrity, common sense and fiscal responsibility.
Please join me in voting for PJ Peterson, Oliver Black and Wayne Nichols — new voices committed to a brighter future for Longview.

I encourage Longview citizens to vote for PJ Peterson for Longview City Council Position 5.
I have known PJ for over 30 years. She was my physician for two decades. I found her to be extremely competent, compassionate and willing to listen. These qualities are exactly what we need on Longview’s council.
For the last 10 years I have been involved with PJ in Lower Columbia Cabaret Follies, a nonprofit fundraising organization. PJ has held an extremely important leadership role. She was in charge of putting on the our last three variety shows — a monumental task, supervising a 100 community members in an intense month of rehearsals and performances. PJ accomplished this job with grace, good humor and laser-sharp organizational skills. She will be a huge asset to the city of Longview.
In addition to intelligence and ability, PJ really cares about our community. She volunteers as doctor at the free clinic in Longview, helping our low income and homeless folks. She is sympathetic to their concerns, and will fight to improve our community for everyone.
Join me in voting for PJ Peterson, for a better, more prosperous Longview.
