{Governor} Inslee Brought Moth Infested Apples to Malden During Fire Visit

Some news outlets are saying he didn't know, and the Director of the Washington State Department of Ag says he probably didn't know. You and others know, you've seen the signs for years.

But the Washington State Farm Bureau released this statement, according to the Capitol Press Online:

"After serving for nearly eight years as governor, it is disappointing he hasn't learned more about the laws created to protect the state's second-largest industry,"

They're referring to the crate of apples picked from Gov. Inslee's back yard, that were given to the Mayor of fire-ravaged Malden, WA last Thursday. During a whirlwind visit that lasted 5 minutes in the actual town, Inslee spoke briefly to citizens and officials, presented the apples to the Mayor, then zipped off in a car up the road to do TV interviews and photo ops for the media.

The honeycrisp apples were laden with apple maggots, or coddling moths. One of the citizens cut open an apple after the Governor left, and found they had maggot damage. Washington State Law prohibits transporting apples and certain fruits from the West side to the East, because of the maggot problem.

I feel your pain, residents of New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, etc, but my Governor, Jay (They're climate fires, dammit!) Inslee is the biggest gubernatorial embarrassment in the country.

He is like Biden, but in good health.

In other words, the perfect Democrat.

I’s sue the bastard idiot if the maggots spread to this part of Eastern WA.

Perfectly democratic: good intentions that don’t work and ruin whatever they touch

Apple Maggots are have managed to infest nearly every apple tree on the Western side of the mountains. They are nearly impossible to eradicate. Dimsley is so damned stupid that it is beyond description.
