Retiring On Social Security Alone Is Actually Possible In This Affordable Oregon Town

Most retirement advice assumes you have more money than you actually do, which is helpful in the same way that a screen door on a submarine is helpful. Hermiston, Oregon skips the assumptions and offers something more useful: a real town where a Social Security income is genuinely enough to live well.

Dollar General Eyes Adams Site, Needs City to Nearly Double Size Limit

45 S. Columbia St. — Approximate Existing Dollar General Location. Dollar General wants to plant a new store on the edge of Adams, but the retailer's plans run nearly double the size the city's code currently allows for commercial buildings. The proposed roughly 9,000-square-foot store would need both a variance and a development permit before it can move forward, and the Adams Planning Commission has a meeting scheduled this week to keep the process moving.

Tri-City bookkeeper’s conviction for stealing $500K overturned because of delays

A Franklin County attorney shortage means a Tri-Cities bookkeeper won’t end up in prison even after being convicted for stealing $500,000. The Washington State Court of Appeals, Division III, found Brittany R. J. Adams’ months long wait for an attorney violated her constitutional rights. The three-judge panel overturned her convictions for first-degree theft and forgery and said they couldn’t be refiled.

Expanded services, less driving for vets. Work starts on new Tri-Cities VA clinic.

Work has started to build the Kennewick VA Clinic , a Tri-Cities clinic that will be 10 times larger than the current one in the Richland Federal Building and offer far more services. “The impact of this clinic is going to be measured far beyond concrete, brick and mortar,” said Luke Strozewski, acting regional operations officer for the Veterans Administration health service area that includes Washington state, at a ceremonial groundbreaking Thursday. “It’s going to be measured by healthier veterans, stronger families and lives that have been improved because the care is available right here in their community,” he said. The new VA clinic building will have about 100,000-square feet, more than 10 times the size of the clinic now in Richland. It will offer not only primary care for veterans but expand offerings to include pharmacy, prosthetics, laboratory services, dental, audiology, optometry, radiology, home-based primary care and support for homeless veterans, all in a modern medical setting. Just this week local VA officials also heard that funding had been made available to offer some specialized cardiology care in the Tri-Cities. The result will be fewer trips for veterans to the Jonathan Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center in Walla Walla

Updated Benton County WA vote count sees Ki-Be levy move toward passing

Results on election night showed that a levy to help Kiona-Benton City schools with operations and their attempt to get off of a state financial oversight list was headed toward failure by just two votes. That meant the race was too close to call, with 775 ballots in support of the levy and 777 ballots opposed. “I know it sounds funny,” Said Pete Peterson, Kiona-Benton’s Superintendent, “but I wasn’t shocked because our last few elections have been exceedingly close.” Now that the ballot counts have been updated, the levy is passing by 32 votes, or 50.6% in support and 49.4% opposed.
