Voters Tell City To Go Slowly On More Bonds
Voters rejected part of the city’s bond request while approving street and utility funding in a tight election. They favored a measured approach to debt as the city faces rising indebtedness, with bipartisan calls for a non political study of the utility’s operation and better use of profits for maintenance and expansion. The stadium addition narrowly passed, but the overall message urged restraint and focus on long term needs.

National Press Club to vote on women members this week
The National Press Club plans a Friday vote on admitting women to membership in a mail referendum. A two thirds majority of active members who returned ballots is required, with the club considering whether to open its ranks to qualified female journalists. Elsie Carper of The Washington Post urged the change, noting long standing standards and the move toward full professional inclusion. The outcome could make Washington’s press clubs have three sex inclusive organizations.
