Venice.ai founder Jesse Proudman says Washington's new income tax is the final blow — and he's not alone. An April 2026 AWB survey found 24% of employers are considering leaving the state. Former Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire called it a spending problem, not an income problem, drawing applause at a Vancouver business summit. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/business/video-entrepreneur-exodus-continues-as-washingtons-new-income-tax-looms/ #WashingtonState #IncomeTax #EntrepreneurExodus #BusinessClimate #Seattle #AWB #Washington #ClarkCounty #Politics #Business
FEMA is reimbursing Washington state $538 million in COVID-era costs — money that sat delayed for years while hospitals absorbed billions in losses. Sen. Patty Murray accused former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem of holding up the payments without cause, while FEMA says the release aligns with a Trump executive order targeting fraud. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/wa-gets-538m-in-delayed-covid-era-payments-from-fema/ #FEMA #COVID19 #WashingtonState #PublicHealth #HospitalFunding #PattaMurray #DisasterRelief #Healthcare #Politics #PandemicResponse
Former Gov. Christine Gregoire told the Association of Washington Business that Washington's budget grew from $33 billion to nearly $80 billion — and called it a spending problem, not an income problem. Chris Cargill of Mountain States Policy Center unpacks what her candid remarks reveal about Olympia's relationship with employers and economic growth. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-when-youve-lost-christine-gregoire-youve-lost-washington/ #WashingtonState #Olympia #StateBudget #ChristineGregoire #BusinessPolicy #Opinion #Columns #Politics #FiscalPolicy #MountainStatesPolicy
Brush Prairie resident Bob Mattila says light rail on the I-5 Bridge doubles construction costs unnecessarily — and proposes moving it to the existing southbound span or the railroad bridge a mile downriver. His alternative phased design, he argues, could be built faster and far cheaper than the current plan. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-present-bridge-plan-has-been-in-the-expensive-and-unworkable-planning-stage-far-too-long-with-no-real-end-in-sight/ #I5Bridge #IBR #ColumbiaRiver #LightRail #Transportation #ClarkCounty #WashingtonState #Opinion #Infrastructure #BrushPrairie
Camas resident Tony Teso responds to Jonathan Hines's letter, arguing that blaming Iran, Obama, and Biden for Washington's gas prices is political misdirection — and that oil-company profiteering, regressive taxes, and militarized foreign policy are the real drivers crushing working families. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-stop-turning-gas-prices-into-war-propaganda/ #GasPrices #WashingtonState #Opinion #EnergyPolicy #WorkingFamilies #FossilFuels #LetterToTheEditor #ClarkCounty
Sarah Mittelman, a medical provider and downtown Vancouver resident, argues that Clark County's homelessness response too often measures activity instead of outcomes — and that real compassion must include treatment, accountability, and a path toward stability. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-compassion-requires-accountability/ #Homelessness #Vancouver #ClarkCounty #PublicPolicy #Opinion #Accountability #OutreachTeams #MentalHealth #Addiction #Recovery
A commercial truck caught fire at 1200 W. 8th St. in Vancouver Thursday night, with flames visible from the engine and cab. An automatic sprinkler system held the fire in check until Vancouver Fire crews cut through a locked gate and extinguished the blaze. No injuries were reported and the Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the cause. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/commercial-vehicle-fire-contained-by-sprinkler-system-and-vancouver-fire-crews/ #VancouverFire #ClarkCounty #PublicSafety #FireInvestigation #Vancouver
A 7-2 C-TRAN board vote to extend light rail to Library Square, the loss of a WPA-era shelter at Lewisville Regional Park, two Vancouver bowlers helping Alabama A&M reach the NCAA championships, and 40-plus students at a skilled trades job fair defined Clark County's week. https://mailchi.mp/clarkcountytoday/this-weeks-top-news_may_15_2026 #ClarkCounty #CTRAN #LightRail #LewisvilleRegionalPark #ClarkCountyToday #Vancouver #Transportation #SkillledTrades #HBCUSports #WeekInReview ---
