Coordination made road work smooth

We would like to thank Snohomish County, the Tulalip Tribes and Reece Construction for the recent improvements to 27th Avenue NE on the Tulalip Reservation. The work was completed in record time with a minimum of inconvenience to those of us who live here.

The workers moved the traffic very efficiently and courteously. The safety of the children attending the four schools on our street has been long overdue. We were also very surprised to receive the gravel at each of the entrances to our driveways. Thanks again for a job well done.

Omar Mateen used an AR-15 that he purchased legally when he killed 49 people in an Orlando nightclub over the weekend President Barack Obama and other gun control advocates have repeatedly called for reinstating a federal ban on semi-automatic assault weapons that expired in 2004, but have been thwarted by Republicans in Congress.
