Time and time again, Republicans have proposed reforms to restore public trust in WSDOT by improving accountability and transparency. And, time and time again, Democrats have stood against reforms in order to protect their special interest supporters at the expense of taxpayers. Also, there is a significant problem that those already pushing round two of Jay Inslee’s carbon rule are not considering. And, jurors in the case against disgraced Democrat Troy Kelley could not agree on 14 out of the 15 counts brought by federal prosecutors. Finally, Democrat U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene — hypocritically — has decided to make the issue of “dark money” a primary focus of her 2016 campaign.
