Letter: Representation requires response

I feel my county representatives should answer written questions in a timely manner since we cannot go to their meetings due to COVID-19. After all, we all pay their salary, as small as it is, and they are the ones who opted to be in the political arena.
I wrote to Eileen Quiring O’Brien, Karen Dill Bowerman, and Gary Medvigy regarding their reasons for reinstating the present fireworks protocol for unincorporated Clark County. One member, Gary Medvigy, not only answered me but called me to discuss the situation and spent 15 to 20 minutes on the phone with me. Thank you Gary. The other two have yet to answer at all.

The legal community and local officials continued to turn on District Court Judge Darvin Zimmerman on Wednesday after comments he made last week about the death of a Black man came to light.
Clark County’s Superior Court judges have stripped Zimmerman of any ability to preside over proceedings involving Superior Court in response to comments he made about 21-year-old Kevin Peterson Jr., who was shot by sheriff’s deputies as they attempted to arrest him.

Prosecutors and public defenders in Clark County are pushing for more consequences after a district court judge derided a Black man killed by police in October.
Barrar Law Firm, among the largest defense firms in Southwest Washington, on Monday called for Judge Darvin Zimmerman’s resignation following the recorded and broadcast comments.
“The bias and the racism displayed in his comments have no place in our community and no place in our courtrooms,” the law firm said in a statement. “We must hold judicial officers to a high standard so that everyone in our community has equal access to justice.”
