This is Leadership? Unbelievable!!!

 


Why is Jay Inslee afraid to talk about his record? The News Tribune is critical of Governor Inslee’s refusal to debate his gubernatorial opponent more than once.  The editorial correctly points out that traditionally candidates for Washington governor face off three or more times (on both sides of the state) to provide voters with the necessary information needed to determine who should lead our state’s executive branch for the next four years.  The paper reported that our governor holds the unique distinction of consistently avoiding opponents. “In both 2016 and 2020, Inslee is the only candidate — local, state or congressional — to decline to do a joint News Tribune election endorsement interview with his opponent.”  Obviously, the Inslee campaign wants to reduce the opportunities for their candidate to make one of his famous embarrassing gaffes, like when he stated he was unaware that rioters had forcibly taken over six blocks of Seattle, or that he thought Antifa was a person, or when he brought maggot-infested apples into the heart of the state’s tree fruit region. He certainly has plenty to answer for, which is why he does not want to face any questions. (News Tribune, Rebecca Perry Twitter, YouTube, and Seattle P-I)

Despite federal government relief efforts being well underway in June, Washington State’s economists determined it would be facing an $8.8 revenue shortfall over the next three years – and then businesses were allowed to partially re-open from Jay Inslee’s random lockdowns, which led to more consumer purchases and an unexpected increase in tax collections.  The state released its latest financial forecast Wednesday, which cut its previously projected revenue shortfall nearly in half.  State officials believe this was due to nearly $1 billion dollars in unexpected tax revenues. This demonstrates once again that while government financial assistance is helpful, allowing the private sector to return to normal is the most important factor in reviving our economy.

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...
