If He Only Had A Brain!

Washington State’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions continue to climb despite the enactment of Governor Jay Inslee’s policies, which he promised would reduce emissions.  In the latest example of Inslee’s environmental policies failing to improve the climate, data reveals that the state’s CO2 emissions increased in 2018 by 1.4% to 98.9 million metric tons (MMT). This despite Inslee’s Department of Ecology promising to reduce emissions to 93.5 MMT.  Since Inslee’s election as governor in 2012, the state’s CO2 emissions rose by 8%.  While per capita emissions from across the United States fell 5% between 2012 and 2017, Washington State’s per capita emissions fell just 1%.  Many are ignoring the growing list of environmental failures during Inslee’s reign as governor. After all, he is considered a front runner for an environment-related post within the Biden Administration. The failures prove the Peter Principle is real – liberals are not seeking climate solutions but are using the climate crisis as an excuse to raise taxes and increase the size and power of government.

 Governor Inslee and his wife Trudi will be addressing the state this evening at 5:30 PM.  It is expected the governor will be announcing new measures to stop the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases.  We are not sure why the governor’s wife is needed for this address, but the governor’s office has stated, “The governor and Trudi Inslee will not take questions from the media after the address.” Likely Inslee’s handlers are concerned a media member will ask if the many liberal protests before the election and the subsequent public rallies celebrating Biden’s presidential victory were a contributing factor in the rise in the number of cases.

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...
