Shift Washington - Shifting the Debate in Olympia says that, among other legislative action in Olympia, The bill to abolish the death penalty in WA "in order to save money" failed. While there are many issues with the death penalty -- making sure you have the right person, chief among them -- I believe it's more expensive to keep someone locked up for the rest of their life than to put them out of their (and everyone else's) misery.
Jay Inslee's perennial efforts to impose carbon taxes in WA have failed again.
Speaking of Jay Inslee, HB 2519 - 2017-18 Concerning concealed pistol license eligibility requirements is headed to the Governor's desk for signature; basically, it says that if your CPL gets pulled for any reason, they can't give it back until they run a new background check; which is reasonable, as long as they don't go yanking CPLs for no reason. Also, if you're under 21 but serving in the military (active or reserves, of have an honorable discharge) you are eligible for a CPL in WA.
Still speaking of His Dishonor the Governor, a bill has been introduced to
the State Senate declaring April 1st "Jay Inslee Integrity Day."
SHIFT WA says they have proof that the Purple People Beaters of the SEIU are behind the latest campaign to force an income tax on Washingtonians. Do they care that the state constitution bans such a thing? No! Have they made any effort to amend the state constitution to allow it? No! They want an income tax, they want it now, and they don't want to be bothered by any silly considerations about legality or whether the rest of the state wants it.
Speaking of the purple People Beaters, the dems in Olympia are pushing a trip of bills designed to pay back labor unions for their support, and SHIFT WA reports that, when Republicans got up to raise the BS Flag their microphones were mysteriously cut off. (House Republicans’ mics cut off for pointing out union giveaway)
Jeeze, you'd think we were in a state run by Chicago "Community Organizers..."

In the late 1920s, early 1930s, my grandfather worked on the docks in Seattle. What he saw of the labor unions; the graft and corruption, embezzlement, blackmail and black market operations, he quit. He already was working part time as a Sheriff deputy so when he quit the union docks he got on with the US Marshals. They busted wide open the union corruption. It was big. He was so instrumental that he went into government protection, name change and all that.
In 2006-7 I was offered to fly into Canada to pick up some unknown packages for some real shady characters. Easy work for big money. Big mean Russians, I wasn't sure if it was possible to politely turn them down. I was on my way out of town anyway, I just left a bit sooner than I had planned. I had met those types just about everywhere I went in the PNW.
My retired USN friend still lives in that area. He knows many people. They all say Seattle is the same as it ever was. That is, corrupt to the bones.
And now there are the useless idiots of the left. Like icing on the cake.
Roosevelt The Lesser didn't call it "The Soviet of Seattle" for nuthin'.
