But whether or not that suc-
ceeds, the legislators said, the
state will have some system, at
least.
That is because, concerned
over another court challenge or
- correctly, as it turned out - a
veto, both houses passed a
back-up system, which auto-
matically kicks in when the
"Top Two" system is thrown
out. This is called the
"Montana" system, which
would send one candidate from
each party to the general elec-
tion. Voters pick one party's
ballot, but do so in secrecy:
"Their privacy would be pro-
tected," wrote Honeyford.

PRIMARY OPTION VETOED
Perhaps the most talked-
about legislative issue statewide
in 'o4 was the blanket primary.
As Honeyford summarized it,
BUDGET:, REPS VOTE NO
The session's other major
accomplishment was passage
of a state budget. This being the
second year of a two-year bud-
get cycle, this was a supplemen-
tary-budget, not a budget-writ-
ing year, the legislators said.
The budget passed 34-15 in the
Senate, 84-19 in the House.
Wrote Honeyford, "There
were several reasons why I
voted for the budget. It adds
roughly $145 million to the
$23.2 billion 2003-05 operat-
ing budget. It leaves more than
$300 million in the state's
emergency reserve account,
contains no tax increases or]
'budget gimmicks,' and is one of
munity, for the failure to pass the slowest-growing budgets in
reforms, state history. Because it leaves a

mitments from last year."
Newhouse, who also voted
against the budget, added "It
was a 'no new taxes' budget,

house's original version.., but
my concern is the $1 billion

Honeyford.
Last week, Governor locke
vetoed the Top Two option,
which he had never favored,
expressing his disappointment
with the parties for challenging
it in the first place.
'The Montana system.., best

said Locke.
Two groups have already
said they will place the Top Two
option back before the voters,
through referendum.

Power Administration.
Before being transported to
their new home, the rock
images were cleaned by Claire
Dean of Portland, an ethno-
graphic conservator who spe-
cializes in petroglyphs and
other rock images.
Pitt said she was pleased
with how the entire project was
carried out.
"I sure am happy," she said,
adding that the images were
cleaned "just wonderfully and
with great care." The rocks
were transported by truck to
the park and lifted into place
with a crane. Everyone, from
the truck drivers to the Army
Corps members involved in the
project, "was very careful and
respectful with the rocks," Pitt
said.
Tribal elders were consulted
as to the exact placement of the
rock images, according to Pitt.

The Temani Pesh-wa Trail is
paved and wheelchair-accessi-

a low rock wall under which
the rock images have been
placed. Surveillance cameras
have been installed to ensure
the images remain untouched.
The trail is open to the pub-
lic during park hours.
However, according to Davis,
the nearby trail leading to the
park's other famous petro-
glyph, Tsagaglalal, or "She
Who Watches," remains open
only to escorted tours by Park
Service guides on Fridays and
Saturdays.
Pitt called the moving of the
rocks to their new display "a
wonderful event."
"This has made an awful lot
of people very happy," she said.
"When the rocks were at The
Dalles Dam, if rocks could cry
they would have been crying.
Now, I know they are happy."

mindset is building the tax base. Economic
development is needed county-wide. I will do
more than propping up the tax base," he said.
"It should be the responsibility of corpora-
tions to foot the bill," for their location here, he
added. "The county has been spending public
money to bring them."

over the Klickitat Trail. Asked about his posi-
tion, he said, "I have followed it without being
really involved. There are two sides. Areas open
to public use have negative impacts; there needs
to be some control. There needs to be a mecha-
nism to help lessen the impact. At the same
time, tourism needs to be encouraged. We need
managed growth."
For tourism, he said, the entire county has
potential, and needs the economic boost, espe-
cially the small towns.
Regarding his opponent, Johnston offered no
comment, saying. "I want to avoid getting per-
sonal. As time goes on, discussion Of the issues
will be more direct and specific." Johnston said
he does have "questions regarding the present
group of comissioners' decisions."
Asked about the issue of law enforcement in
Goldendale, on which he initially based his
mayoral campaign, Johnson replied, "I may

Johnston will not have to leave his council
position in order to run, only if he is elected,
said county elections official Dawn Weaver. He
has one year left on his council term.
Johnston said he has previously run for coun-
ty assessor, city council, and mayor, but never
for county commissioner.
Regarding his early dedaration, Johnston
said, "Let's do it right... It'll be better than a
write-in campaign. Getting an early start is usu-
ally more beneficial." He was a write-in candi-
date for mayor last fall, an election he lost.
Thayer, contacted by The Sentinel, said he
definitely planned to run for re-election, but
offered no comment about his opponent.
If Johnston and Thayer, a Republican, both
run unopposed, they will square off in the gen-
eral election on Nov. 2. If either has an oppo-
nent from his own party, there will be a prima-
ry election on Sept. 14, election fficials said.
