Missed this one.
On the subject of Seattle agenda and Seattle taxes, the Constitution of the State of Washington specifically bans income taxes, including those levied by municipalities.
They're going for it anyway.
They're mandating that landlords give tenants voter registration cards. No mention if ensuring that the tenants are eligible to vote.
Plus, RUMINT has it that the progressive super-rich are putting together a ballot initiative of "common sense gun laws" which will include a requirement to register all "assault weapons" including "high capacity" magazines, with a surtax on each item registered.

GOAL ENDORSEMENTS FOR SENATE
There was no action taken on gun issues throughout the three
special sessions.
The third special session of the legislature came to a
close last night without passing a capital construction budget. The governor
says he will not call them back into session until they have resolution on a
capital (state construction) budget.
What is at dispute is control of water in rural areas. A
year-old state Supreme Court decision that allows counties to block well water
drilling on private property, thus limiting development. Easy access to water
is crucial for rural development. But the Seattle gang that controls Olympia
wants rural to stay rural, so they can drive out on the weekend and see the
pretty greenery.
Primary ballots have already been mailed for a handful of
special elections to be held this fall. Control of the state Senate is at
stake, and with it control of your wallets. If Democrats take just one (of
three) Republican senate seats up for grabs, Governor
Inslee will have total Democrat control of the legislature next January, and
this year’s failed tax proposals (state income tax, capital gains tax, etc.)
will sail through next January.
Our focus in this special election is on the critical
state senate seats, which will; determine who prevails in Olympia next
legislative session. GOAL has endorsed the following candidates:
7th Legislative District Senator Shelly Short
(R)
31st Legislative District Senator Phil
Fortunato (R)
45th Legislative District Jinyoung Englund (R)
The 45th is probably the most competitive race
and places both gun owners and taxpayers at greatest risk. If ever there was a
time to get involved in politics, it is now. Make a donation (the cost of a box
of bullets… or more; some of your time to volunteer – campaigns survive on
volunteer support). Or you can sit back and kick taxes in to support whatever
cockamamie programs Seattleites come up with next year to buy votes.
Hopefully this is the final GOAL Post for the year – for
legislative matters, anyway.
