Jump Into Summer Garden Party JustDays Away

An initiative proposed by the Building IndustryAssociation of Washington seeks to allow privateinsurers to compete with the state Department ofLabor & Industries (L&I) to offer employers work-ers’ compensation coverage. I-1082 would bring WAState into line with 46 other states that allow com-petition from private insurers in the industrial

insurance market. The State currently maintains amonopoly on W/C coverage- the result has been acostly and inefficient system which is on the verge ofinsolvency. Some specifics:-While workplace claims have decreased by 55% inrecent years, L&I’s costs to manage remaining have

ReworkBy Jason Fried and David HeinemeierHansson

From the founders of the trailblazingsoftware company 37signals, here is a dif-ferent kind of business book -- one thatexplores a new reality. Today, anyone canbe in business. Tools that used to be out ofreach are now easily accessible.Technology that cost thousands is nowjust a few bucks or even free. Stuff that wasimpossible just a few years ago is now sim-ple. That means anyone can start a busi-ness. And you can do it without workingmiserable 80-hour weeks or depletingyour life savings. You can start it on theside while your day job provides all thecash flow you need. Forget about businessplans, meetings, office space -- you don'tneed them.

With its straightforward languageand easy-is-better approach, Rework is theperfect playbook for anyone who's everdreamed of doing it on their own.Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-businessowners, people stuck in day jobs who wantto get out, and artists who don't want tostarve anymore will all find this book willmake you uncomfortable.

“Depending on what you do all day,Rework might make you extremelyuncomfortable. That's a very good thing,because you deserve it. We all do. Jasonand David have broken all the rules and

won. Again and again they've demonstrat-ed that the regular way isn't necessarily theright way. They just don't say it, they do it.And they do it better than just about any-one has any right to expect. This book isshort, fast, sharp and ready to make a dif-ference. It takes no prisoners, spares noquarter, and gives you no place to hide, allat the same time. There, my review isalmost as long as the first chapter of thebook. I can't imagine what possible excuseyou can dream up for not buying thisbook for every single person you workwith, right now. Stop reading the review.Buy the book.”--Seth Godin

Local chiropractor, John Jarolimekstated that everyone should read thisbook. He said it really makes you look atthings differently.

The Dey CompanyFrom the interview with Ed Dey of

The Dey Company it was easy to learnthat they don’t lack in the area of experi-ence. The Dey Company has been inSkagit Valley since 1982, Ed Dey hasbeen in the business since 1969 and Ed’swife, Paula Dey, is also a licensed securi-ties broker. One thing they pride them-selves on is customer retention. Theyhold a client appreciation night a coupletimes a year that has more than doubledin attendance since they started, showingthat The Dey Company is very appreci-ated in return by its clients. They gain

new clients off of a referral base onlyproving that if you take care of the clientthey will in return take care of you.

The Dey Company helps their clientsin the area of financial planning whetherit’s stocks, bonds, annuities, or even rec-ommending levels of insurance coverage.For commercial clients they providegroup pensions/401k plans and assistwith benefits planning. Ed’s philosophy isthat he is representing the client whenfinding the right financial products forthem. In that respect, he doesn’t believe itwould help the client if he were to onlysell one companies financial products, sothey sell many different companies prod-ucts which allows them to find the best fitfor the client. If you need help planningyour own or your company employees’financial future, be sure to stop by 2124Riverside Drive in Mount Vernon to talkwith The Dey Company.

Skagit business owners have afriend in the newly formed SkagitBusiness Alliance, a coalition of repre-sentatives from Mount Vernon, Sedro-Woolley, Anacortes and La ConnerChambers of Commerce, joined bymembers of SICBA, EDASC, and NorthSound Association of Realtors. Thegoal of this new alliance is to be anadvocate for Skagit County businessowners by speaking as a unified voice,focusing on shared concerns and inter-ests, with elected officials at the local,state, and federal levels.

Their mission: to provide localchambers of commerce and businessassociations with a centralized alliance,able to quickly identify and disseminateissues of common interest to memberorganizations for discussion and possibleaction and advocate and publicize areasof common agreement through appro-priate media outlets and lobbying efforts.

Skagit Business Alliance will focustheir efforts in two key areas: (1) tax andregulatory reform and (2) infrastructuresystem improvement. Of primaryimportance will be identifying and tar-geting tax and regulatory issues such asworker's compensation, unemploymentinsurance, B&O tax, etc. that impactlocal economic vitality and job creation.Adequate investment for infrastructure

needs, effective and timely transporta-tion options ensuring work force mobil-ity, and permanent funding for ourregional ferry system are among otherissues of concern that will be addressedby this association.

Skagit Business Alliance is pleasedto present a strong, cohesive front insupport of the local businesses thatmake this valley great, because togetherwe can accomplish more than any oneof us can do alone.

Local business gets a helping handwith the Skagit Business Alliance

Idaho is sending a clear message toWashington businesses that it wants them.With a more predictable tax and regulato-ry environment than Washington, and astate government that makes serious cutsrather than burdening businesses and res-idents with new taxes, Idaho has a lot toattract business. Now it also has a websiteto lure Washington and Oregon employ-ers. The website features cost comparisons

between the states, as well as testimonialsfrom companies that have already movedto Idaho. Washington’s lawmakers couldlearn a lot from Idaho. Hopefully, they willtake action and improve Washington’sbusiness environment more competitivebefore we lose more employers to oureastern neighbor.
