It is obvious Governor Jay Inslee does not want to alienate any of the far-left members of his party while he is searching for a job in a possible Joe Biden administration, so taking a stand on the destructive public safety policies of his fellow Democrats who serve on the Seattle City Council is out of the question.  You might ask, is he really risking public safety for his selfish pursuit of a job in a possible Biden Administration? Well, a group of (mostly far left) progressives have already compiled a slick 145-page booklet of acceptable individuals they have in mind for the Biden Administration. It lists Inslee as acceptable for a few posts, including EPA, Interior, and Energy.  Yet they surprised many by including Inslee as an agreeable candidate as Director for the Office of Management and Budget.  The left-wingers in DC might not remember that Democrat state legislators excluded Inslee from budget discussions in Washington State, and have sued him over his use of illegal line-item vetoes. And yet a national progressive special-interest group thinks he is suitable to handle the federal budget??? (Progressive Cabinet Project)

 Governor Jay Inslee released a new set of restrictions on Washington residents, as he continues now in his fifth month) to make unilateral “emergency” decisions regarding the health, safety, and finances of Washington residents – all while refusing to consult with the legislature (or even talk with its leaders).  When asked about the latest set of restrictions on restaurants, gyms, weddings, and funerals from the governor, House Republican Leader J.T. Wilcox (R-Yelm) stated, “Since the Governor doesn’t let us know his intentions, it’s not possible to have an immediate, thoughtful response to his proposals.  I do hope that if he is addressing the gatherings where the virus spreads he will pay equal attention to the gatherings in Seattle and Olympia where violence and threats take place with people in close and dangerous proximity to each other.” (Seattle Times)

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’...

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...
