I think this is a wonderful Idea but maybe there are spots, other than Redmond, that could use it more. Say up north where are are more forests and land or down more towards the Nisqually valley. You hear of more people hitting deer and animals in those areas, than you do in Redmond.

Exactly! It is just like a therapist or a priest taking confession. They are there to listen and provide the resources that they think will help; whether or not the person uses these things or is doing things in their personal life that they agree with, it doesn't matter. Their job is to do just that, provide resources, they knew that when they decided to go into that job.
I don't think someone with diabetes should be downing White chocolate mochas all the time but I have to give the customer what they want and serve it to them. I also don't agree with people spending money they don't have and choosing to buy a bunch of clothes over, maybe paying for their gas. But I work in a store where we need to make our days, who am I to tell them, "Ya know you really shouldn't be purchasing this." It is not my place to pass judgement on what they are choosing to do.
In your personal life, you can make the choices to follow your own beliefs and provide people your insight and give them resources but if they don't want it, there is nothing you can do.

Exactly, and the next time people want to complain about the prices going up, think about how many drinks Starbucks has to remake because the person ordered the wrong thing or at the last minute decided they wanted it iced instead of hot. This is really expensive milk and flavoring going down the drain. Or when people complain that they have to pay the extra 50 cents for a flavor when they are only getting "half" or "one pump" They have to have someway to pay for that syrup, if they let everyone have that "one pump" for free soon they go through a whole bottle and didn't make any money for it.

If these people are enforcing the drugs laws on the public, then, certainly, the laws should be enforced on them. It makes perfect sense to me. This could also help detect dirty cops, which is better for us anyway. There have been cases of undercover police officers getting addicted to drugs because of their work; this would be a great thing to implement. It would get those officers the help they need to get clean.

The school I worked in last year was the exact same way, pretty much always had right around 280 to 300 students. They had empty classrooms too, but great class sizes, all the kids knew each other, and there were no need for buses because the school is so small, it just feeds into a neighborhood. There is a very tight knit community built around that school and it is an amazing thing to see.
I certainly think that the city could have chose to cut back some spending for the schools in come other way. Maybe if they had excess paras, or didn't need as many bus routes or something. I don't know, I guess it is sad that 2 schools had to shut down but hopefully they can relocate everyone and this will help the school district from having to cut even more jobs all around.

No, this was a tragedy. Accidents are things that can't be prevented, they just happen. This POS could have prevented this, by choosing NOT to drink Half a Bottle of Vodka before driving at a high rate of speed on one of the busiest freeways, at night, when it was raining! He may not have had intent, but the choices he made caused this to happen.

Their car wasn't even stalled for FIVE MINUTES, so even if they had wanted to move or had planned on pushing it to the shoulder, they would have had no time. All they had time for was to call 911 before they got hit.
And frankly, I don't care whether they were in the middle of I-5. This jerk off of a drunk had a HALF EMPTY BOTTLE of vodka in the car, that is crazy! He would have hit a moving car at that point.
I am just glad he didn't get sentenced the original 5 years that was mentioned. I hope they don't let this pos out on parole. It baffles me that we have such strict laws when it comes to selling liquor but once people get their hands on it, our government lets them have a free for all with peoples' lives!
