The latest Elway Poll shows voters believe Governor Jay Inslee has done a poor job handling the protests/police issue.  An incredible 62% of Washington residents hold a negative opinion about the governor’s “performance”, compared to just 32% having a favorable opinion. This is understandable given the embarrassing and bumbling response (i.e. “It is news to me.”) when he was first asked what he thought of the violent takeover of 6 blocks on Capitol Hill and the forced closure of its Seattle police precinct headquarters by protesters in June. The governor’s lack of awareness continues with his refusal to say whether or not he agrees with the radical proposals by his fellow Democrats on the Seattle City Council to risk public safety and slash 50% from the police budget.

 The Washington State Republican Party has released two television ads in the past week that highlight the lack of leadership from Democrats during the past few months.  The first spot, called “Enough”, details how Governor Jay Inslee and Mayor Jenny Durkan allowed rioters to take over Seattle.  The second ad, titled “Failure”, reminds voters of the incompetence of Inslee’s Employment Security Department. That agency, run by his hand-picked director and major Democrat fundraiser,  allowed $650 million dollars in taxpayer funds to be stolen, and how Inslee’s poor management has increased the financial suffering of tens of thousands of Washington residents.

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...
