Well,I kinda know Washington State,this is fun to watch;)
Anything that hurts the children, the disabled, veterans etc. will be shut down and blamed on the ‘pubs.
Washington state....is about the only place in America where it’s fifty percent extreme far-left environmental types, and the other fifty percent is union light-left Democrats. So when they talk over appropriations...it’s generally that the bucket is limited and neither is getting enough to make themselves happy.
Shut down anything that benefits only govt and not the citizens of that state.
There is a state supreme court order to more fully fund schools. With that in mind, here is where talks stand -
Democrat House: +$700M for schools with all new taxes
Rep (controlled) Senate : +$1B for schools with tax cuts and loop hole closures.
Guess which plan the teacher’s union supports ?
The kids?
Uh, well we'll send them a post card from our Hawaiian second homes, but they have our best wishes.
C'mon, we DO care about the chilluns.
But if it comes down to a second jet-ski or pencils, well, you know that a happy principal is much more important than any silly "education".
But don't forget we care. Just like the campaign signs with the little apple on them.
That shows "caring" don't it?
