May your 2011 be wonderful in every way;
filled with health, laughter and grand adventures!

Thank you so much for your interest in the Yelm Community Blog.
I have had fun and learned much researching issues of interest to me, for almost 5 years now.
While I was in-process to shutter the Blog in early 2010, local issues not covered in-depth elsewhere boosted readership & many of you requested, even demanded I continue to provide my viewpoints and public documentation.

Indeed, with state spending out of control & deep budget cuts soon-to-be-felt by everyone in Washington State, seems my comments about these two issues being poor decisions & that garnered so many requests for me to continue the Blog, were correct in hindsight:
– the almost $1 million spent on 8 flushing-toilets for Longmire Park

– construction of a 1.1 mile partial Bypass section emptying onto city neighborhood streets for years & with no funding to complete the other 3+ miles anytime soon.

The number of daily unique visitors & length of time on each visit indicates the Yelm Community Blog is of value to many people.

Look for some exciting additions & changes as the Yelm Community Blog expands the reach in Puget Sound & a new look and format enhance this site in early, 2011.
All my best,

Steve Klein
