Monday morning reading. The Wall Street Journal has been writing for several years about the stupid, self-destructive state tax and regulatory policies in this WA. Here's a link to one of the WSJ's strongest criticisms so far. It focuses on the bad-faith Ferguson-Pedersen state income tax scheme. But it includes some analysis of WHY Olympia Leftists lie so much about their policies. wsj.com/opinion/washington-m…

If we get rid of Jaime Pedersen , Ferguson is dead in the water. Floating in the ocean that has been poisoned by Mexico releasing tons of sewer water into the Pacific ocean for years now. Jaime P has the gays standing strong behind him here in Seattle /King county and it would be a tie that binds us all to rid our self of Pedersen and when its time to vote for the Governor , Ferguson will become a one term governer
