To the Editor:
Not only did the group Accountability Comes to Town not send an actual representative of their group to the elected mayor forum, they sent a duo notorious for not bothering to research facts.
I couldn't write fast enough to record the various misstatements they made, but will attempt to correct a few.
They harangued about the 56 businesses they claimed left Federal Way because of the state highway median.
To the Editor:
On a regular basis we are subjected to the sarcastic, arrogant diatribe of Frosty Hardison on the pages of local papers.
He seems to fancy himself as a self-appointed expert on a variety of topics but most galling is his questioning everyone else about their business acumen. So here are a few questions I would like for him to answer with specifics, not his usual sarcastic generalizations in order for us to determine his qualifications to speak with such authority on this subject.

To the Editor:
It is nothing short of outrageous that representatives of ACT (Accountability Comes to Town) failed to show for the public debate on January 16th to justify or defend their position about the very Ballot Initiative they instigated and is costing taxpayers several thousands of dollars for a special election.
Accountability seems to be a term they believe should apply to everyone but them.
Their cowardice and irresponsibility is inexcusable! Citizens came to hear both sides.
To the Editor:
Yesterday, while walking around barefooted here at home, I stubbed my right, little toe and tore my toenail completely off. It couldn't have been removed better surgically. Now, I'd rather do that again than publicly discuss my private life but, being on the ACT board, my absence from the Feb.
Federal Way Police have located a person of interest in connection with last Friday's shooting at the Federal Way Transit Center.
William Quadere Muhammad turned himself in January 24 following an area-wide search.
Muhammad was sought for questioning in regards to his involvement in the shooting, which resulted in the death of a seemingly unrelated third-party victim.
On January 18, at approximately 7 p.m., officers were dispatched to a shooting at the Metro Transit Center, located at 316th and 23rd Avenue South in Federal Way.

Wrestling
West Seattle Inv.
Evergreen finished fifth with 117.5 points as a team and Kennedy sixth with 113.7.
JFK's Derrick Lewis took a loss by pin in 2:24 in the 189-pound final and Cory Treddenbarger was edged in the 285 final by a 5-4 score.
Boys swimming
Just enough.
The last event -- the 400 free relay -- decided the victor of a dual swim meet that had superstars and stars of the 3A state, and the Mount Rainier Rams stroked to a 97-89 win on the strength that comes from a great team camraderie, that was just enough to beat their Kennedy Lancers fierce rivals in Seamount League action at the Foster Pool Thursday.
The Rams team always eats out together after dual swim meets, at Red Robin, never missing.
The Evergreen Wolverines won a close match that was back-and-forth early versus the Kennedy Lancers in Seamount League wrestling action at Kennedy Thursday.
The final score was 36-31 but one wouldn't have thought the Wolverines were going to win this one after the first few matches, which were mostly Kennedy wins. Kennedy won four of the first six matches to lead 21-10. And, since that subject of score-change is mentioned, actually the Lancers came back, too.

Is the state spending money in the right areas to help our students succeed? How much has congestion improved for the billions spent on transportation? Are the investments taxpayers make in the Departments of Corrections and Social and Health Services actually improving public safety and well being?
These are basic questions to which any taxpayer should be able to get answers quickly and conveniently. This is especially true since modern technology makes accessing large amounts of information easier than ever.
