Mayor and Council voted to give City employees the day before Christmas and the day before New Year's off. Therefore, City offices will be closed as follows:
Monday, December 24, 2007 through Tuesday, December 25, 2007
Monday, December 31, 2007 through Tuesday, December 1, 2007
Because of this schedule, there will be some delays in trash pick up, recycling, and other City function. We appreciate your working with us, and we promise to make this as painless as possible.

City's Holiday Office Closings
As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents.
It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved.
It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces.
I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible.
This BLOG is another effort to reach out to the residents of Mount Rainier.

While I am concerned about the welfare of illegal immigrants, I do not believe that Mount Rainier or any other US city or state should be a santuary for them. This city has a tough enough time handling its own problems. We simply do not have the resources for this. Furthermore, if an American citizen breaks the law, we go to jail. But, if foreign persons enter this country illegally, they are protected and will have access to whatever resources they need. That is an unacceptable double standard. Why should American citizens' tax dollars support illegal immigrants when we cannot house our own homeless citizens, or do Americans not count in our own country???
ReplyDeleteShouldn't these people be encouraged to stay in their own countries and fight for an improved quality of life? How will the situations in their countries truely change if they don't stand and fight?
Finally, if a child is born to an illegal immigrant in this country, then the child should be deported along with the parents. It's just common sense.
