Sounds like Bellingham. A town run by liberal idiots. Our two choices for mayor in the election are two left wing commies who hate business and pander to the extreme enviro-left.

In the state of Washington, as in the federal government, what are called “cuts” are cuts to more or less automatic increases. I think this would be plain enough: cuts are lesser increases. The state government has been increasing its spending both in total dollars spent, and relative to the GDP of the state, Accordingly, even with all the cuts, the state government’s budget is continuously in deficit, is projected to be in deficit, and state debt continues to creep up.

“We are literally nextg door neighbors to freaking CANADA but the town I grew up in resemble a seedy back alley of Mexcio City.”

Driving south down Highway 97 from Canada, one is struck by the transformation of the Columbia Basin country over the last few decades. Judging by faces and places near Yakima, I would have believed I was in Zacatecas or Sinaloa.

It all happened so fast!

Gregoire and the rats took FULL credit years ago when the Bush economy was very very strong and tax revenues were great....

no, no credit to Bush or the Pub congress....just took credit for the marvelous job they did instate...

of course, not one penny saved, or expenditures decreased...no...they spent like drunken sailors....

but suddenly, when the rats took over both houses of congress, BOTH houses of congress back in 2006, suddenly the economy became not so great...

and thus here we are....

must be nice to control the media and never take accountability for your actions...

When Gregoire took office years ago, there was a surplus. It is their reckless spending and all the fraud and waste. Plus catering to the unions that has brought us to these cuts.

I wish the majority of voters weren't so darn stupid.
