The Spokesman-Review is among the growing number of media voices demanding that Governor Inslee be more forthcoming about the details of the historic fraud that took place under his watch. The governor and his team have yet to even tell the public how much money was stolen from the taxpayers, let alone be honest and inform Washington citizens if actions (or more likely inactions) by the Employment Security Department made the fraud worse.  Thus far, the only comment Governor Inslee has made about the state being the victim of one of the largest theft’s in American history was this flippant statement that dodged the issue, “What I stand against is the moral outrage of this international conspiracy that turned the virus of COVID into the virus of crime.” (Spokesman-Review and Jim Brunner’s Twitter)

Did Governor Inslee see that a fellow (Democrats only) Western States Pact member fired her Employment Department director over delays in sending jobless benefits?  Oregon Governor Kate Brown fired Kay Erickson over the long delays in processing benefit payments in her state.  Luckily for Washington’s embattled Employment Security Department Commissioner Suzi LeVine, who also has demonstrated the same incompetence, she has a long history of raising large amounts of money for Democrat campaigns. That’s the kind of important qualification that will keep her safe in the Inslee Administration, as opposed to actually providing benefits to Washington residents and protecting the state’s treasury from being scammed out of “hundreds of millions of dollars.” (OregonLive)

Reminder, Crosscut is asking the public to submit questions for their interview with Governor Inslee on Tuesday at 11:00 AM.  We encourage our readers to pose the questions you might have over the state’s response to the coronavirus and the Employment Security Department’s fraud scandal.  Thus far this is the only opportunity the public has had to pose tough questions of Governor Zero. Please keep in mind Crosscut will more likely ask the governor your question if you ask it respectfully.  You can submit your questions by filling out the short form after you follow this link.

I Am the Tax Man, Ooo, Ooo Tax Man

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’...

The Left in WA Are Committing Skullduggery on Control and Taxes!

  Source:  ShiftWA.org The local media has blindly accepted the Democrat legislators’ spin of calling its capital gains tax an “excise tax,” and not identifying it as an “income tax” as the IRS, 49 other states, and the rest of mankind do.  The Democrats know this is a particularly important distinction, since an “income tax” is unconstitutional in Washington State and an “excise tax” is not.  The legislation ( SB 5096 ) was sneaked through the Senate , by a single vote, in a rare Saturday session, and will likely sail through the Democrat-controlled House.  Just as certain as Governor Jay Inslee signing any bill that raises taxes, there will certainly be a lawsuit which will eventually require the Washington State Supreme Court to rule on whether or not Inslee’s income tax on capital gains is an unconstitutional income tax.  By the local media choosing to ignore the IRS, 49 other states, and common sense that this is an “income tax” and choosing instead to...

The Outcome of the Lack of Accountability

Image
  Source: ShiftWA.org Governor Inslee constantly makes elusive and factually incorrect statements, and the local media fails to uphold its responsibility to point them out to the public (and to Inslee).    Consider a few of Governor Zero’s whoppers: his defense for having Washington State taxpayers fund security for his failed presidential campaign; him claiming ignorance of the forceful takeover of six city blocks (and a Seattle police precinct) by protestors; to his stubborn refusal to call a much needed (and legally required) special legislative session. In each of these instances – and many more – the Washington State media fails to hold the governor accountable for his misleading comments. Since there are no consequences for providing evasive responses and fabricating false scenarios to legitimate questions and concerns, Inslee will continue to make them. As a result, the public is not served, and our democracy suffers. ( Shift Article ) Governor Inslee announced the...
