1. Washington State University’s known crime report shows that we aren’t in too much danger, but could stand to make some improvements on our safety. Forcible rape is one of the crimes that stunned me the most, especially in comparison to UW. Over 2006 WSU reported 4 and UW only reported 1. In comparison to UW we have a huge difference in property damage. Living in Pullman vs. Seattle has its advantages, UW reported 747 property damages and WSU reported only 200. WSU’s violent crime and aggravated assault aren’t bad, only a few numbers, but with only about 24,000 students the numbers should be lower.
2. For the most donations in 2006, Troy Kelley brought in the most for the House at $305.599. For the Senate, Christopher J. Marr brought in $565,880. For Marr, the Washington State Democratic Party was his largest donor giving $46,615. The Washington State Democratic Party was also Kelley’s largest donor at $42,974.
The Gun Owners Action League of Washington donated the most in 2006 at $58,400. The Republican Party is getting the majority of this money; they are receiving about 78.77%.
In 2006 State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. donated $803,031 for Oregon. This money didn’t go to any party, just to Ballot Measures.
The largest Beer/Wine contributor in 2006 was Anheuser-Bush in Calif. donating $3,827,439. The Republican Party received 47.29% of that money.
The largest Gambling/Casino donator in 2006 was Harrahs donating $17,841,498 for Rhode Island! They spent the largest amount on Rhode Islanders for Jobs and Tax Relief Inc.
3. On Google, I searched my roommate Jade Sepolen. Several articles came up, one of which was my blog page which mentions her name since I interviewed her for one of my news stories. Other sites were and Opinion –Category Archives from USATODAY.com that she wrote into during her internship last year. A myspace link came up for her name as well; other sites looked like it just had the two names intermixed.
