“Background Checks Make A Difference.” The effort is set to end Sept. 5. The ads stress the value of background checks for enhancing public safety but never mention the ballot measure that its political self is promoting. What’s nice about this campaign finance nuance is it also allows the Center for Gun Responsibility to keep secret the source of its money. Center spokeswoman Molly Boyajian noted in an email that the nonprofit has received “gifts from local individuals, partner organizations, foundations and our national partners.” One of those partners is Everytown for Gun
that police are secretly sweeping up information from innocent people in such broad searches. “They are essentially searching the homes of innocent Americans to find one phone used by one person,” said Christopher Soghoian, principal technologist with the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington, D.C. “It’s like they’re kicking down the doors of 50 homes and searching 50 homes

marijuana, charter schools and gay marriage. Last year, voters seemed primed to pass a foodlabeling initiative until opponents shelled out $22 million to defeat it. The NRA can’t fork out that kind of money, nor must it. Neither can it hope to succeed on its reputation alone. NRA leaders must decide whether it is worth trying to convince voters in one state in the far corner of the country to defeat an initiative, or focus on keeping members of Congress from changing the background check law for the nation. The next few days will be very telling. Political reporter Jerry Cornfield’s blog, The Petri Dish, is at www.heraldnet. com.

because they don’t know where the bad guy is.” When told about the device Tuesday, Ronald Culpepper, the presiding judge of the Pierce County Superior Court, said if police “use it wisely and within limits, that’s one thing. I would certainly personally have some concerns about just sweeping up information from noninvolved and innocent parties — and to do it with a whole neighborhood?” he said. “That’s concerning.” The Tacoma Police Department appears to have updated its equipment last year with money authorized by the City
Council. Several council members now say they didn’t know what they were buying. City manager T.C. Broadnax said he does not know the specifics of what the police department bought. But he believes the department “adequately briefed the City Council on the particulars of what we were buying and how and when they would use it under certain circumstances.” “I’m not in law enforcemy ment, but it’s impression that it assists them in doing their job more effectively, and that’s to protect the public,” Broadnax said.
The Stingray is a popular cellphone surveillance device manufactured by Harris Corp. of Melbourne, Florida. Cellphones seek the strongest cell tower signal, and a Stingray pretends to be a cell tower with a strong signal. The phones are tricked into passing data through government equipment before going to a legitimate cellphone tower — and the cellphone’s owner has no idea that has happened. Doug Honig, spokesman for the ACLU in Seattle, said governments need to have transparent policies on the use of “invasive surveillance technology.”
donations, is used to help fund Magdalene. About 72 percent of the women are clean and sober 2½ years after joining the program. Peoria Home organizers are working to raise about $500,000 to purchase a house and run the operation for the first year, including hiring an onsite manager. Beyond the initial year, the program is expected to be self-run. The public is invited to attend a fundraising dinner and auction from 5-7 p.m. Sept. 27 at the Everett
Holiday Inn, 3105 Pine St. Speakers will include former sex workers who graduated from the Thistle Farms program. The women are expected to talk about their experiences on the street and what the program has done for them. Tickets are $50 and can be purchased online at http://fallevent2014.bpt. me or by calling 425-2975773. Event organizers are accepting donations and sponsors for the auction.

Safety, founded by Michael Bloomberg, the super-rich ex-mayor of New York. He’s pledged to spend boatloads of money in every corner of the country to help enact tougher gun control laws and elect progun control lawmakers. I-594 fits his investment profile perfectly. While billionaires soak up attention for their prodigious checks, where is the National Rifle Association in all of this? Is it possible the NRA, the established pulpit of the gun-rights movement, will keep its money to itself in this fight? The NRA does have a political action committee to oppose I-594. But its coffers are pretty much empty. A significant infusion would be needed if
the venerable organization intends to deliver a serious counterpunch. The NRA did contribute $25,000 to its PAC in July then spent most of it on staff, probably to have them survey the landscape. They couldn’t have liked what they discovered. An Elway Poll in July found 70 percent of voters — many of them in the vote-rich Pugetopolis — “inclined” to back Initiative 594. Three months earlier, an Elway Poll found the level of support at 72 percent. Things could turn quickly. They did in 1995 when voters initially embraced a gun controltype measure then rejected it. Of late the state’s electorate has been in the mood for reshaping society in ways the government won’t. They’ve privatized liquor and legalized

Ryan De Young is this year’s top showman for 4-H beef cattle. He earned a scholarship, which he
plans to use at Everett Community College this fall. The De Youngs said they enjoy the fair because they get to see a year’s worth of hard work pay off. Amelia Hunt, 16, of Everett, found her first job helping people dress up at the fair’s Old Time Photo vendor. She is set on earning $2,000 for a mission trip to Albania next summer. Despite having to stand for most of her 10-hour shifts and deal with impatient customers, she said, she is giving the job her all. “It’s definitely unique because a lot of kids have to work fast food for their first jobs,” she said.

Burglary is caught on video EVERETT — A business owner has posted surveillance video to YouTube from a recent burglary in hopes of identifying the culprits. The burglary was reported about 2:30 p.m. Aug. 22 at the Budget Appliance store on Broadway, Everett police spokesman Aaron Snell said. The suspects broke through a fence and stole a washer and dryer set valued at $500. The video can be viewed
at HeraldNet.com. Anyone with information should the Everett Police Department tip line at 425-257-8450.
State gives county good review Snohomish County government’s financial report card for last year is one that’s worthy of hanging on the refrigerator. State Auditor Troy Kelley’s staff found no issues after reviewing the county’s financial statements and its oversight of federal grants during 2013.
“For a county of this size, that is significant,” said Lenda Crawford, the county executive director who oversees financial, budget and accounting functions. “It’s a great report.” The county received a copy of the clean audit on Monday, Crawford said.
Tulalip: 1 killed, 1 hurt in crash A woman died and a man was injured Tuesday night in a one-car crash on the Tulalip Indian Reservation. The accident was
reported around 8:30 p.m. on Marine Drive at Hermosa Beach Drive. Detectives with the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the cause of the crash. The woman, 47, died at the scene, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. The man, 49, was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. Speed and alcohol were both believed to be factors, but the crash remains under investigation, Ireton said. From Herald staff reports
