There has been a lot of news recently about different plans to help recover salmon in light of a recent federal decision to retain the four lower Snake River dams in eastern Washington state.
Do you have a perspective or thoughtful reflection on a local or regional issue, event or trend, or do you want to share the story of your local nonprofit or agency with your fellow readers of The Daily News? We are creating an opportunity for you to do this in “Community Voices,” a new feature to be published periodically in this space on our opinion page. We are creating a place where the wide range of opinions, perspectives and expertise in our region are welcome, in the belief that thoughtful public discussion leads to positive solutions, and that many organizations in our communities have important messages for all of us. “Voices” columns must be respectful and must meet our editorial standards. These “Voices” columns will be longer — they must be 650 —700 words in length. They may be trimmed for length; they will not be published if they are shorter than 650 words. As is the case with our letters, the writer(s) must be willing to have their names published, and they need to provide our editors with email and telephone contact information. The submissions will be edited for spelling and grammar, and all submissions must sent via email. Publication of any “Voices” submission is up to the discretion of The Daily News. Send “Voices” submissions to Editor Barry Holtzclaw at bholtzclaw@tdn.com.
