DEMOCRATS KEEP HOPING VOTERS CONTINUE TO IGNORE REALTIY
TURNS OUT DEMOCRAT BUDGETS SHORTCHANGE STUDENTS BUT PAY OFF UNIONS, SO DEMOCRATS TRY TO MAKE UP FOR IT BEFORE THE 2024 CAMPAIGNS
Democrats all want to increase the size of government, but the Washington State Standard points out a fight is shaping up as “Washington lawmakers want to send more money to schools with this year’s state budget — but Senate and House proposals differ in where that money goes.” Seems like Democrats are arguing over which special interests to pay off.
Unfortunately, no accountability for past spending errors is expected even as “spending comes as districts around the state face budget woes, with some turning to school closures as a result.” Read on to see how Democrat over-spending is the norm here… Washington State Standard.
DEMOCRATS IN MEDIA HELP LEAD PANIC ON MAKING CITIZENS ADJUST TO STATE BUDGET SPENDING OF TWO YEARS AGO
Shift will leave with little comment on this panic from the Columbian that a ”conservative-backed effort to repeal Washington state’s landmark carbon pricing program and tax on the sale of stocks and bonds is putting the budget into limbo, with billions of dollars at stake in the final days of this year’s Legislative session.” Except we will say that none of this spending existed two years ago, so the Democrats are making something up about state government priorities… The Columbian.

Lest you think the city acted hastily, remember that “KOMO News featured Irwin’s encampment in a story last week when he allowed cameras to tour the site, which included a mining area where he claimed to be digging for gold and diamonds.” You can read on to see how the city “recently paid $15,000 to restore the area of the park where Irwin dug up with an excavator.” … KOMO News
