Contrary to his promises as a gubernatorial candidate in 2012, Jay Inslee has done nothing to improve on government efficiency during his first term. Today, we expose three ways Inslee has, in fact, made government waste worse. In other news, a union-backed coalition appears to have gathered enough signatures to put I-1433 — a scheme … Continued
Like Hillary Clinton, Washington Democrats also often get away with sketchy activities even though they are guilty. Speaking of Washington Democrats, they (once again) proved that they are more concerned with the prospect of losing money (from the WEA) than with helping children succeed. And, extreme “greenies” are demanding the destruction of the Lower Snake … Continued
Friends – Last week, we exposed some eyebrow-raising policies adopted by Washington Democrats in their latest party platform. Jay Inslee’s state party platform included some repeated mistakes and therefore expected policy positions – such as a state income tax that the Democrats are again demanding. And the party’s guiding document included some Bernie Sanders-inspired policies. Like … Continued
Last week, our green governor went to great lengths for his fundraising efforts (hint: a lot of his time wasn’t actually spend in Washington State). Also, Washington Democrats’ party platform includes a $15 min. wage, and regulations on how businesses deal with wage increases. And, the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission concluded that SDOT’s Scott … Continued
This #ThrowBackThursday, we are looking into three times WA Democrats blatantly ignored voters’ will. And, Democrats’ party platform is more evidence that liberals often operate with a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do kind of logic. Also, Seattle’s latest strategy to gain voters’ support for transit? Get a New Yorker to tell voters to pump more money into transit. Finally, … Continued
Succumbing to Socialist Bernie Sanders’ policy demands, Washington Democrats adopted a single-payer healthcare system as part of their party platform. Also apart of Democrats’ party platform? A carbon tax. In other news, evidently not wanting to do serious harm to a high-profile Democrat candidate, the state Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) gave Tim Probst a light … Continued
The opening of the new multi-billion-dollar expansion of the Panama Canal should place West Coast ports — specifically, those where labor unions have a strangle hold on port employment — on high alert. Also, the former president of Starbucks International is fighting back against Seattle city leaders who plan on imposing steep regulations on businesses. … Continued
Today, we’re asking a rather relevant question: How many major Sound Transit donors/supporters have purchased land around the transit stations proposed by ST3? Also, the latest version of WA Democrats’ party platform lists multiple forms of a state income tax as key objectives. And, the race we like to call the (McDermott) Hunger Games just … Continued
Friends – Last week, Jay Inslee went to Washington D.C. in order to fundraise for his re-election campaign. The trip itself was just another example of Inslee prioritizing his time working on his re-election bid, rather than focusing on anything that would actually help working families in our Washington. Thus, it should come as no … Continued
Given his extreme laziness (as evidenced by his schedule), Jay Inslee appears to be waging a war on work. Speaking of Inslee, when our green governor heard about House Democrats’ publicity stunt (their staged sit-in), he decided he could not miss a chance to be part of a purely symbolic event that would accomplish nothing. … Continued
Democrats’ destructive economic agenda produce quite a few negative consequences. But, perhaps the most egregious consequences of Democrats’ policies are the threats posed to Washington’s working families — we’re calling it the Democrats’ war on working families. In other news, the fact that Seattle councilmembers have to take more time to consider whether or not … Continued
We’ve covered Democrats’ war on jobs and their war on democracy— but, we’d be remiss if we did not also point out Democrats’ war on transportation… particularly, cars. In other news, thanks to a notice from the WSFE, we have an idea of the strategy union executive are using to demand pay raises during the … Continued
