Jeff, Island.... This is my point and I'm grateful for the current day illustration. What MAY BE happening in Olympia will happen on a grander scale in Congress. That's the point of this thread. And it is my believe that the behavior of the "r"'s while they are in power is what leads to this. They do not build consensus. And you're going to see some major tit-for-tat. And then you'll blame it on the libs.
And while we're at it, another thing I think is behind the comments you make, particularly Island it seems, is this notion, this fantasy, that any time taxes are levied something must obviously be wrong. Taxes build roads, fund schools, etc. Gubmint is not free. Your party pretends it is free. Hates it in fact, because it gets in the way of commercial profits. And so there are many people who believe like you do. That there is no need for taxes. It's dishonest, and eventually some group of people have to pick up the pieces and repair the damage. Look at the financial position your "president" is placing your nation in. Look. It's stark. Striking. There is no way to hide it. So, out go the lies and they are partly designed to villify the group of people they know will HAVE TO come in soon and bite the bullet and make the repairs.
You have never really responded, Island, to the question I pose. Or should I say the condition I identify. Do you think there is a transportation infrastructure problem in Western Washington and if so, will the money for improvements come from a source other than citizens? And I know you have heard me emphatically describe our Legislature's witch hunt of WSDOT and the unanimous view on both sides of the aisle that there is no longer another single drop of extra efficiency to be squeezed from that agency....so I am sure I don't need to warn you away from this convenient (for several of the last twenty years) diversion of attention away from the real problem.
