Opinion: Claims against the City of Winlock

The prosecutor's office has made a decision on the case against the City of Winlock. Prosecutor Jonathan Meyer's decision was no illegal activities. The investigator only spoke with one side of the investigation, he did not speak with the individual who filed the complaint.

These claims include staff not following city ordinances, Mayor Bradshaw not following city ordinances, city council not following ordinances, Winlock Police Department violating civil rights of an individual and not following city ordinances. Also included were claims of violations of the Open Public Meeting Act also known as OPMA by Winlock City Council.

According to the information received, the City of Winlock code enforcement officer removed a sign from a citizen's yard without following the city ordinance. The sign was against Mayor Bradshaw and the City Council. The citizen called the non emergency line for Lewis County. Chief Valentine called the citizen, said he would look into it, yet he never got back to the them. There was even a witness to the theft but the witness was not contacted. The citizen went to retrieve their sign and was told "we did you a favor." The city has an ordinance which it did not follow. If the city does not have to follow the law then why do the citizens?

Lewis County Prosecutor Jonathan Meyer found nothing illegal with the code enforcement officer entering private property without authorization. Meyer found nothing illegal with the code enforcement officer taking a sign without proper legal notice. How is this acceptable?

And the tax season drags on

The tax season has not gone according to plan but for many there is light at the end of the tunnel. The IRS went into overdrive the past week and is quickly catching up on their back log. Many filers were seeing their returns delayed with little to no explanation. Tempers began to boil over and frustration bursted out. Fortunate for many is things got a whole lot better over the weekend.

Code 1541 has changed for many

Where's my refund on the IRS webpage for hundreds of thousands to millions of filers was stuck on "Take Action" with a link to another page that provided the code 1541. Anyone who called the IRS including the media were given different answers each time they called about the code. But for most it ended up being a part of the PATH Act and changed once their tax return was finally processed.
