Even national Black leaders are critical of the actions of the Democrats on the Seattle City Council. Rev. Al Sharpton stated the council’s actions will increase violence in black neighborhoods and will “put us in harm’s way to fit some purest latte liberalism that they advocate.” Sharpton went on to say these liberals “want to be our new masters.”  While it seems everyone in the country has an opinion about the radical actions of the Seattle City Council, there is an extremely small group of people who have remained quiet. Governor Jay Inslee, Attorney General Bob Ferguson, U.S. Senator Patty Murray, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell, and Washington State Democrat Chair Tina Podlodowski have all abdicated their roles as both state leaders and party leaders by remaining silent over the reckless actions of their fellow Democrats on the Seattle City Council. Racist actions by the council don’t matter to them.  The safety of people who live in high crime areas is not important to them. The public safety of 775,000 Seattle residents is not important to them. The breaking of campaign promises to increase police funding is not important to them. Allowing violence to determine public policy is not important to them. The only thing important to these politicians is their own political future and thus they are not publicly taking sides on an issue that is ripping apart their party. To Jay Inslee and company, silence is golden. .(Morning Joe via Carmen Best’s Twitter account)

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...
