The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WALLA WALLA – Todd Kimball (R) is a sixth-generation Walla Walla County resident who returned to farming while continuing to work in accounting, after working in Boise as a CPA for four years. He is a DeSales graduate, earned his B.S. in Accounting from Whitworth College, and attended Gonzaga University for a Masters in Accounting.

Kimball is active in the community as a coach and volunteer, and has held leadership positions with the Northwest Grain Growers Board, Walla Walla County Conservation District Board, and the Blue Mountain Land Trust Board.

"Waitsburg has several current issues, some new and some recurring. Drug problems continue to create issues for the Waitsburg community as well as the county as a whole. Law enforcement is only part of the remedy; education and the assistance provided by Community Health must also be part of the solution," Kimball said.

"Another recurring issue is the constant pressure between individual property rights and zoning for increased economic development, not only in Walla Walla, but in Waitsburg as well. The newest issue that will affect all property owners along rivers and streams in the County is the Voluntary Stewardship Program, which allows for cooperation between agriculture and Washington's Growth Management Act," he added.
