Whose governor are you?
We should all take note of the fact that the Governor of the State of Washington has at every opportunity to cut spending and forestall tax increases, failed in her responsibilities. She always places her cronies and pet people projects above the will and good of the rest of our state’s people. She panders to the Democratic bastions in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties. It is obvious that the rest of the state doesn’t count, the votes aren’t there. When we look at the cities and counties with the biggest financial problems we find that they are Democrat controlled and also have the highest taxes on their citizens. The idea that government can do all for everyone is finally falling apart. We see now, as many conservative leaders have said, fiscal balance and restraint are a necessary part of all government.

A closer look at our state’s entitlement programs from the top down show that fiscal restraint could have made a huge difference in today’s economy.

Now the Governor has decided that the people of the State of Washington who voted and passed a bill on the ballot, I-960, were in error. She and her Democrat cronies have now circumvented the will of the state’s voters and suspended that bill. Three times we the people voted for that rule, but she knows better than we do what is right, and changes it to suit her and her cronies needs.
