The Sammamish City Council tomorrow will take up a motion to dissolve its
Council Member Tom Hornish
committees, where a lot of spade work is done on issues, and adopt a Committee of the Whole (COW) process instead.
This move should be rejected. It’s been tried before. The council ultimately returned to the committee system. This city council should not repeat the mistake of the past.

Council Member Pam Stuart
Jason Ritchie
Sammamish Council Member Jason Ritchie isn’t wrong when he cites frustration about the divisions in the city council.
Nor is he wrong when he fingers members of the majority of the council for their contributions to the split.
But Ritchie needs to look in the mirror and accept responsibility for his own actions.
