It’s too bad in this Democratic state of ours that if the government doesn’t get its way it manages to do it anyway. If it’s too expensive they just tax us more or sue someone. We taxpayers can’t win.
They hold phony town meetings when they have already made up their minds. They have the media to boost them along. The news tells only what they’d like us to know, and let’s not talk about over costs any more than they have to. Gov. Inslee has ran up millions and millions of dollars in court-ordered fines. How and when is he planning to pay for them? It will be like when the banks received all the fines during the recession, they’ll pay the fines with our money.
Think about the court-ordered daily fine for education, the tunnel costs overruns, the remodel of the Space Needle, and it goes on and on. Here in Lake Stevens, my property taxes went up. We haven’t heard anyone complaining. We are retired on a fixed income as I’m sure many others are also. My house payment went up $160 a month to pay property taxes.
The voters keep electing the same people and they know that if the get King and Pierce County to vote for them they usually win the state election. That’s sad in my book. Over half of this state never enters a tunnel, steps on a ferry, or goes to a Seattle ball park, yet they pay for all of them. Its time for a change in Olympia.
