Nethercutt visit promotes citizenship contest
MOSES LAKE - One of the fourth graders at Lakeview Terrace Elementary asked former U.S. Representative George Nethercutt if it was true what he heard, that the government was shut down for a while. Nethercutt confirmed the government was shut down for a few days, that it had happened before, and that it happened because the Congress and President Barack Obama couldn't agree how to spend the government's money.
