The city of Yakima is following the lead of Spokane and giving its voters a say on a city charter amendment banning a local income tax. Not that there is any effort to bring a local income tax to Yakima, just as there was no such effort to impose such a tax in Spokane in 2019, when voters seemed to say not just yes, but, “Hell, yes!” to the chance to nip such a notion in the bud.

As Americans wrestle over how to defeat the delta variant of COVID-19, China’s government is still refusing to provide the data necessary to determine the origins of the pandemic. Instead, Beijing – in tandem with Russian state media outlets – is promoting the conspiracy theory that the coronavirus originated in the United States. Call it the Big COVID Lie. And it is downright dangerous, both for the world and for China, too.
