Kate Smith writes: “An initiative to dissolve the Columbia County (Wash.) Rural Library District has been temporarily blocked from appearing on the general election ballot. Columbia County Superior Court Commissioner Julie Karl granted the temporary order, saying there was substantial evidence of fraud [in the petition process] and good cause to temporarily block the measure to allow the claims to be investigated.” County Auditor Will Hutchens said ballots will not be printed until after the next hearing, which will be held the afternoon of September 20.
