  3. Met with several county and state Public Works managers last night, that is what they all told me. They got memos for their departments. Nothing in the press that I could Google.

  4. King and Pierce counties (Seattle and Tacoma) carry the voting weight for the state. Even if the rest of the state votes conservative, those two counties have more people than the balance, and you are correct, they are quite liberal.

    I was talking to a recent graduate in CompSci. He told me he went to a college specifically whose tuition was fixed over the four years because he took loans out that he intended to pay for himself. He said doing it this way is a life saver for him, because otherwise, he would be far more in debt than he is, and the prospects for earning more to pay it off are negligable and would have added years to the term.

  10. UC President Mark Yudof told reporters Wednesday he couldn't rule out raising student fees again if the state is unable to meet his request for an additional $913 million next year for the 10-campus system.

    The 32 percent increase will push the cost of an undergraduate education at California's premier public schools to over $10,000 a year by next fall, about triple the cost of a decade ago. The fees, the equivalent of tuition, do not include the cost of housing, board and books.
