I was elected to be a second vice president of Seattle Executives Association 17 months ago. After 6 months as a second VP, and 6 months as a VP, I have been serving as a president of the association since January of this year.
During this last 5 months, we have lost 12 members and gained 9 members. I think that is one of the most in-and-out the association ever had in its 90+ years of the history. I am hoping to add 3 to 4 more members this month that will make it about even as I am leaving this position.
I was hoping for smooth sailing for my term but it was nothing but ... I feel like I had a crush course in management. It is an experience that you can't buy with any amount of money. Just 4 more meetings to go.
It took over 30 minuets to get to the restaurant in Redmond from Bellevue. This was the traffic last night near the Microsoft on i520. This traffic problem is caused by the very construction that is design to solve it.
Even with this I do not trust any government to be able to create a mass transit system.

I have no problem Federal Government enforcing an immigration regulation to the people who may be in the US illegally. So when I heard what the state of Arizona did, I thought there is No Problem. Then I really thought about it.
It is an immigration problem, and they are not migrating to Arizona, they are migrating to the US. So, it is a Federal Issue and not a State Issue. One State should not decide anything that should be decided on the Federal level. And here are some of the reason why:
(1) State does not have a relationship with the countries in diplomatic level.
(2) State does not have any deportation authority.
(3) State already have the authority to notify Federal Government when they arrest someone and find out they are staying the US illegally.
I know there is an immigration problem. But again it is a Federal Government matter. And if there is something a State wants to do, they should pass the law saying that the Federal Government mast enforce the tighter immigration rather than taking it in their own hand.
It has nothing to do with the color of the skin or how they look. It is just not a matter should the State government get involved directly.
