A public hearing on the proposed return of Vancouver’s Business and Occupation Tax, which was scheduled for Monday, Aug. 21, has been delayed 60 days, city manager Pat McDonnell said this afternoon. McDonnell says the delay will give the city more opportunity to keep open a dialogue with the business community. “We have spent the past two weeks working with the community and large and small businesses, who have asked us to slow down to allow them time to offer alternatives. We are listening to them because this issue is too important to be rushed by the public hearing process.,” McDonnell said. Ray Korpi gets dean Clark

hospital The Insider does not present crime news on its front page, but what happened today at 9:30 a.m. today is an example of how breaking news can be found in the Insider 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Click on Flash News link just above the Daily Headlines link section. You’ll be taken to Craig Walker’s continuously updated regional emergency news site. Click on the news release tab, and there you will see the story of the burglar nabbed by a Clark County Sheriff’s officer’s police dog after the women inside a home in the 9200 block of NE 97th Circle called 9-1-1 reporting a strange man outside. The woman locked herself inside her bedroom, the burglar attempted to enter the house, officers arrived with the K-9, and the dog pursued and caught the suspect, who was taken to Southwest Washington Medical Center for treatment of a wound inflicted by the dog. Today has been busy for local law enforcement officials. Later this morning a woman was rescued from a car wreck near Chelatchie Prairie and transported to the medical center for treatment of broken bones and possible internal injuries. A racial assault was reported late last night. Most of the emergency news isn’t good news, but for the news junkies who want to know about mayhem and such before it makes the print media, it can be found through the Daily Insider.
