In an effort to focus more closely on our original coverage area – Seward Park to New Holly and Mt. Baker to Rainier Beach – the Rainier Valley Post has decided to leave Beacon Hill news to our more-than-capable colleagues at the Beacon Hill Blog, where locals Wendi Dunlap and Jason Simpson are covering everything you need to know about the beacon on the hill. Tell ‘em your RVP sent you!

Bike agenda spins cities toward U.N. control, Maes warns
By Christopher N. Osher
The Denver Post
Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes is warning voters that Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper’s policies, particularly his efforts to boost bike riding, are “converting Denver into a United Nations community.”
“This is all very well-disguised, but it will be exposed,” Maes told about 50 supporters who showed up at a campaign rally last week in Centennial.
Maes said in a later interview that he once thought the mayor’s efforts to promote cycling and other environmental initiatives were harmless and well-meaning. Now he realizes “that’s exactly the attitude they want you to have.”
“This is bigger than it looks like on the surface, and it could threaten our personal freedoms,” Maes said.
He added: “These aren’t just warm, fuzzy ideas from the mayor. These are very specific strategies that are dictated to us by this United Nations program that mayors have signed on to.”
Maes said in a later interview that he was referring to Denver’s membership in the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, an international association that promotes sustainable development and has attracted the membership of more than 1,200 communities, 600 of which are in the United States.

It’s true that the Hill is not in the Valley. And you have more than enough material just in the lowlands.
Still, I did like your “All SE Seattle All the Time” approach. And it’s always good to have multiple perspectives.
But I’ll keep reading both regardless.
