Extreme environmentalists sure love to talk about how they are saving the world, because they know that everyone really agrees with them – as long as someone else is picking up the tab. It seems another typical trait of the rabid greenies is a desire to keep much of their work away from the media’s prying eyes, lest the public or ethics officers find out what they are up to – a story that Shift brings forward today. We also take a look at State Treasurer Jim McIntire’s understandable decision to retire instead of face defeat thanks to his loving embrace of a 5% income tax earlier this year. Liberals will try to find better news in the new federal report on high school graduation rates, but (spoiler alert) WA students are still suffering after years of Democrat underfunding of our schools. And finally, WSDOT Secretary Lynn Peterson had to apologize today for a statement she made on the radio last week that the new I-405 tolls were “literally” saving lives. Turns out she was “literally” making that story up. Happy trails.
