This Blog's Purpose


I'm a political "wonk"! Having run my own campaign a decade ago I've developed a keen interest in state and national political goings on.

 Having collected an archive from the daily post of ShiftWA.org, I watched over the last few years how well, or poorly, our current governor has governed our state. The reader must decide which, I'm only posting the news from this source. 

My intent is to take a point in the past from these posts and put them up here for whoever chooses to look at the progression of how he's done since then up to the current time. I will add more as they come in and things develop... and man, is it ever getting interesting!

The first post after this "purpose" page will be as much as I can manage to put on a single page in descending order. Other entries will be added each day as they come in. I believe it will be a very interesting chronology.

So, the latest will appear on the top, while the further back things go, will be in descending order for the reader. Thus, if one wishes to read things in a chronological order, they should go as far down as needed to begin and move up through the posts.

Source: ShiftWA.org A new report from the Washington Policy Center exposes a significant contradiction from a major promotor (and likely benefactor) of the Democrats’ Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) proposal.    Tim Zenk, a high-priced Washington State lobbyist for the Norwegian company Naste (which will financially benefit from the higher energy costs Jay Inslee wants to impose on Washington residents) testified at a state House hearing that California has lower gas prices now than when it passed its LCFS in 2011 (the truth is prices are higher).  Despite facts not being on Zenk’s side in WA, it also appears clear that his employer knows the truth about a cost-raising LCFS. After all, Naste representatives told California regulators not to impose a cap on how high an LCFS could increase fuel costs, and allow gas prices to continue to climb (and make it profitable for them to develop more expensive energy sources). Thus, while talking to Washington State lawmakers, Naste’...

Source: ShiftWA.org Rumor has it that Governor Inslee is expected to release his next budget proposal on Thursday, December 17 th  (he is constitutionally required to submit this by December 20 th ).  In the coming days, we will provide some good ideas which we do not expect to be included the governor’s proposed July 2021 – June 2023 budget, and some bad ideas which we unfortunately do expect to be in that proposal.  We’ll start our budget effort off with an easy one: We do not expect the governor to financially assist parents who have taken over the responsibility and financial burden of educating their children.  Washington State school districts receive approximately $16,000 per student from federal, state, and local revenue sources, with currently none of that money going directly to families which are now hosting the school in their homes. Many families have had one parent lose wages to educate their student, while others have hired tutors. Some have enrolled t...
