Playing Politics

Remember the Democrat-only “Western States Pact” that Governor Inslee promised would lead us to economic recovery, but then we never heard about it again?  Well, it appears Inslee has run out of new ideas, so it’s back, and now it could cause a future delay in the distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine.   At Inslee’s taxpayer-funded campaign press conference today, he announced that he joined other Democrat Governors to independently review the safety and efficiency of any drug the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves to combat the virus.  For a party which believes the government is the answer to all problems, these Democrat governors appear hypocritical in not trusting government scientists. If the Democrats do cause a delay in the delivery of the vaccine, with their photo-op “independent” approval process, you can bet there will be many people heading for the Idaho border where a governor who actually manages his own state’s affairs will allow his citizens to be immunized by an FDA-approved vaccine.

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...
