Shift focuses on Seattle today because, well, that’s where the craziness runs amok these days. We start with Sound Transit, and its Seattle-centric $54 billion tax plan – and how the Proposition 1 campaign is getting a nice boost from the bureaucrats at the public agency thanks to an 8-page propaganda piece they just sent … Continued
Four weeks from today, the advertising (for politics) will end (for awhile), and we’ll have a better idea whether the voters have left much money in our wallets for holiday presents (and maybe even a Thanksgiving turkey). In Shift today we focus on a few issues that will impact how much money government will be … Continued
Like the rest of the country, folks here at Shift are still recovering from the must-see TV that was the second presidential debate last night. It’s amazing what people will find to fill the time when the Seahawks take a week off from playing. In honor of the debate, we feature today yet another embarrassing … Continued
Featuring Jay Inslee almost putting in a full 40-hour week of official business and an internal Sierra Club fight over the carbon tax, last week on Shift we highlighted items we don’t normally see. But, by week’s end things were returning to normal, with a more recent Inslee calendar showing him back to fitting his … Continued
Happy Friday, and we have a series of funnies today for your reading pleasure. Our feature is on Jay Inslee’s calendar from last week, where we can see that, once again, he barely put in a day’s worth of official work in exchange for a week’s worth of public pay. Also worth a few laughs … Continued

Hump day finds the Shift team playing catch-up, and finding plenty of (hopefully) interesting items for our readers. We lead with a feature on the intra-mural battle of the “greens”, with the internal battles of the state’s Sierra Club chapter being played out in the media over the bad policy that is Initiative 732. Nothing … Continued
The weekend was full of news to catch up on, so Shift grabbed a few morsels you might have missed while cheering on the Seahawks, or Huskies, or Cougars, or even the last weekend of the Mariners until 2017. The lead item is a review of all the taxes you will get to pay if … Continued
General election ballots will be in the mail in three weeks, so Shift is stepping up its coverage of some of the people and issues you will be choosing from. Today we highlight the Left’s latest attempt to grab tax dollars for their favorite politicians, I-1464. And speaking of grabbing money, big labor is also … Continued
Recovery is almost complete here at Shift, from the debate double-header on Monday night. We’ve read the media analyses, listened to the talking heads, and reviewed the tape, and are left with this lingering question – why is it that two presidential candidates were allowed to interrupt, question, and generally interact with each other in … Continued
Team – Last week was one for highlighting liberal bullies – from the Teamsters trying to intimidate Eastern Washington elected officials for wanting to be open with their constituents, to Kshama Sawant trying to tell real economists how to do their job, to UNITE HERE trying to impose its will on Seattle hotels with an … Continued
