How do we get your book in print? I checked on Amazon but they only have a kindle copy.

Of course, they would have us believe we have a revenue SHORTFALL!

"A heavy or progressive or graduated income tax is necessary for the proper development of Communism." ~ Karl Marx. Lacking an income tax, tax everything else. Democracy came to the state of Washington and died.

How can we be sure our votes are accurately counted ?

So What we are being threatened by is tax increase coinciding with media threats that will soften the blow. The focus is no pain just gain and the gain is defined as money for government and less for public spending. Same song / music as 40th years of abuse continues. OK! Let's talk about targeting individual spending games and attack at that level.

How about eliminating real estate tax for those of us on fixed income and retired. Tax the hell out of those overpaid tech guys in Seattle.

Your presentation seems a little one sided and if you are about transparent government try reporting facts and not more misleading information. You aren’t policy people reporting facts but rather pushing out not quite accurate data. A budget is just a budget until approved by the legislative body, so it can account for whatever you want but it still has to be approved and there isn’t any secrets in line items. They can be removed, added, or edited by the approving body during the review and approval process. You should be encouraging your supporters to reach out to their representatives and ask them to approve only necessary and reasonable requests or additions. Remembering something else will have to be removed or reduced - there is only so much money.

I think he was saying that is what should happen, but is not. Washington government is not at all interested or inclined to spend less.
