In the past we have given and given to the representatives of our communities for better roads, police, fire, the Kingdome fiasco, and so it goes.
Who threw money at the bus tunnel until it choked? Who drove Burlington Northern out of the state? Who convinced Boeing to leave and move to an easier tax structures? Who is responsible for the growing unemployment? Who is responsible for one of the highest tax structures in the United States? Who takes in higher and higher property taxes with no return on that investment? Who wants a state sales tax?
It’s the representatives who now want more taxes for a road system that was supposed to be taken care of with the general revenue from Lotto, license tabs, mooring fees, road use taxes, etc.
Tired of new taxes to support the old regime? Don’t let Olympia dictate to the rest of the state as to what we need. If anything, we need new representatives, as Slade Gorton found out.
