A plot twist in the misguided efforts to shut down Dayton’s library; The Seattle Times, September 17, 2023

 , The Seattle Times; A plot twist in the misguided efforts to shut down Dayton’s library

"Don’t put that book down just yet — the sad saga of an irrational initiative to close the public library in Dayton has taken a hopeful turn.

Columbia County Superior Court Commissioner Julie Karl has issued an injunction that temporarily blocks the asinine measure — which calls for the dissolution of the county’s whole library system — from being placed on the Nov. 7 ballot.

Good.

Karl’s order holds until a Wednesday hearing that will consider whether the measure would cause harm to public services and deprive Dayton city taxpayers of their voting rights."
