Jay Inslee has shown an inability to get many of his legislative priorities through the Democrat-controlled House –like the tax increases he sought this year or the minimum wage increase he wanted to implement– let alone through the bi-partisan State Senate. So its little wonder that he has decided the only way to push his extreme environmental agenda is to jam through job-killing regulations.
He finally admitted his plan to raise gas prices without seeking legislative approval last week. This week, he is focused on an obscure rule regarding fish-consumption, with the Associated Press reporting that Inslee is considering raising the rates by 20 to 30 times their current rate.
Evidently, the state has far too many jobs being created for Inslee to keep claiming he’s the nation’s “greenest” governor, so he has to try do something to slow that pesky economic growth.

The top 15 fastest growing cities{population over 50,000} Seattle nor any town in the state of Washington is on it. 3 of 5 are in Texas{of course} the other 2 in Utah. 7 of the 15 are in Texas {of course } So what ever growth is here Inslee will certainly chase away.
Also since King County is a sanctuary county,wages there will certainly be paid “under the table” . http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/population/cb14-89.html

Executive Orders Just like Obama! Guess the voters just don’t get that if you keep voting for the same thing over and over again but always expecting a new solution is a true sign of Insanity! P L Heinitz

most voters in the Puget Sound area, the ones who largely elected Inslee, are too stupid to “get it”… that should be clear by now, considering the string of snake-oil salesmen they’ve elected over the last 20 years…

Inslee wants to run the state into the ground, just like his mentor Owebama has done with the country… for the life of me, i can’t understand how the people of the Seattle metro area could be such utter IDIOTS as to elect a lying, underhanded, slime-ball like Inslee to the state’s highest office. unless of course, that’s the kind of leader they want, someone who will lie to them, swindle them, and take advantage of their stupidity to jam whatever he wants down their throats…
