Good morning, Vancouver. Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 29th of July.

ACCIDENTS NEWS

  • Vancouver Fire crews used their new sonar-equipped boat Monday to search the Columbia River near Wintler Park for a 52-year-old man who went missing after attempting to recover property; emergency services shifted the effort to body recovery—regional teams including the Coast Guard and police are now involved.  Clark County Today
  • On Sunday night, a 54-year-old man went missing after rescuing a 5-year-old from the Columbia River near Wintler Park with search efforts turned over to the Coast Guard and police — in a separate incident, a man drowned in the Clackamas River near Carver Park after failing to resurface for 30 minutes.  The Oregonian

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Washington is forecast to have a cash shortfall by 2027 and a fiscal deficit by 2028 even after record revenue and the largest tax hike, and state Senator Ron Muzzall said at a Senate committee meeting that blaming federal Medicaid cuts distracts from years of overspending—next legislative session could be worse without better reserves.  Clark County Today
  • Save Vancouver Streets appealed a court ruling that blocked its ballot initiative to require public approval before changing traffic lanes—citing the support of over 6,500 residents. The group will move its appeal in the Washington State Court of Appeals, and if successful, the measure will appear on a future ballot.  Clark County Today
