This is Leadership? Unbelievable!!!

 


Last week when Governor Inslee visited Eastern Washington, he (illegally, it turns out) brought with him apples that contained apple maggot larvae.  The governor unknowingly gave the maggot-infested apples (which were apparently grown on the grounds of the Governor’s Mansion) as a gift to residents impacted by wildfires in Malden, Omak, and Bridgeport.  To eliminate the possible damage the governor’s actions might due to local crops, Douglas County officials posted an urgent message asking if anyone knows the location of the apples that were brought to Bridgeport.  Douglas County’s economy is driven by the tree fruit industry and an outbreak of maggots could be devastating – thus local officials are working hard to find the infected apples.  The Washington State Department of Agriculture has informed Governor Inslee that taking apples from maggot-infested Thurston County to maggot-free zones in Eastern Washington is illegal. Breaking the quarantine laws is punishable up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.  If fined, we can bet the Governor will act as he did with his presidential campaign security team, and make the Washington taxpayers pick up the tab.  (Douglas County Facebook post and KXLY)

Governor Inslee bullies debate commission into his demanded format before accepting one televised debate with his opponent, Sheriff Loren Culp.  The gubernatorial candidates will be in separate studios at the TVW facilities in Olympia.  Previously the Culp campaign wanted the debate to take place with the candidates in the same room, while the Inslee campaign pushed to have both candidates debate remotely from their homes.  Ultimately, Governor Inslee agreed to travel the almost half-mile from his mansion to the TVW studios, where he is defining appropriate political social distancing as separate rooms. The debate will air on major network affiliates across Washington, and will take place on October 7th, at 8:00 PM, following the Vice-Presidential debate. (AP/Everett Herald)

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...
