headquartered bank.

pendent’s Premier Banking Group for the past two years. Kelley has 25 years of banking experi-
ence. Prior to joining First Independent she was a senior vice president and team leader with the

Utility commissioners endorse
bill to legalize appliance repair
Although they have consistently and publicly supported Clark Public Utilities’ appliance repair
program, the utility board of commissioners today officially endorsed the program by resolution.
This afternoon in Olympia, the Senate Water Energy & Environment Committee is holding its
first hearing on Senate Bill 5348, introduced by first-term state Sen. Craig Pridemore (D-49th),
which would give Clark statutory permission to continue the program it has carried with it since it
was formed in 1940. The proposed bill is straightforwardly aimed solely for Clark Public Utilities
by stating: “A public utility district located within a county that has a contiguous border with the
state of Oregon and a population of three hundred forty thousand or more that provides electrical,
water, and sewer service to its customers may operate an electrical appliance repair service.”
Twice since, however, the utility has been sued and twice courts have declared the popular
Christina Kelley
program illegal. The utility has persisted, though, and currently the state Supreme Court is consid-ering whether to uphold or reverse lower court action. Opposition to the program has come primarily from local heating and ventilating contractors who view the practice by the utility an incursion into private business territory. One of those, Miller’s Heating, yesterday in a quarter-page advertisement in the Columbian, said in part, “.Small business families of all kinds must rise up to defeat this misguided bill [SB 5348], or it will lead to government takeover of auto repair, plumbing, electrical,
groceries, etc. We will all end up standing in lines to buy toilet paper with our tiny government issued paychecks while the savior public
servants sit on the beach sipping exotic drinks.”

News brief
Clark County Commissioners meet in an informal session at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 2. Mistakes
The Vancouver Planning Commission’s First Thursday informal session on neighborhood traffic planning is, of course, on Thursday, Feb. 3, not Tuesday, and the correct spelling of the name of one of the presenters is Tim Schauer. That takes care of most of the mistakes
in the Monday, Jan. 31, edition of the Daily Insider.
