I have been watching the MSM on Katrina. Tragic. Tragic for so many reasons. I keep wondering what will the Bush Administration do in the devastating wake of Katrina? I don’t know if it is just my bias against them or just a conditioned response.
I know the troops are on […]

As I noted in an earlier post, even our Gov is not publically speaking out against I-912. Josh Fiet at The Stranger once agian goes on the “Counter Intel”.
But what is most interesting is the bullshit answer that an elected official “cannot conduct political campaign activities on state time.” Is that Gov […]

I had really hoped for a pro vs. con argument on I-912 when I sent e-mails to our Mid-Columbia leadership regarding I-912. I do know that few representatives in this area of Eastern Washington voted for the gas tax and that many who voted against it did so under their own conviction. As […]

That’s right. After days of waiting for our local leadership to speak on their positions on I-912, Senator Mark Schoesler of Ritzville is the first to vocalize his opinion.
I voted no on the gas tax. I do not use State Computers in regards to initiatives.
That may be less than dramatic statement but it is […]

All Kinds of Crazy: Greatest Hits Edition’ from Pacific Views.
UPDATE
Goldy at Horsesass.org has a wicked sense of humor that I cannot help sharing:
You know… I don’t […]

Where do our legislators stand on I-912? That is a big question that has been getting some attention in the newsprint and blogosphere. It seems there is a moratorium on straight talk to voters. This could bode well for I-912 supporters from whom we will surely see an onslaught of political advertising […]

For those of you wondering about the effort to stop Richland Baptist Church expansion here is an update.
RBC has submitted their plan to the City of Richland. I had kept quiet about this as I had information that there were some code changes in the works that directly related to church expansion and/or construction. […]

It is always good to see the Tri-City Herald reminding people of important things like ELECTIONS! But what I hadn’t seen in the past in editorials such as these was this warning:
More special interest groups are circumventing the Legislature and using the initiative process to get laws approved in their favor. Grass-roots organizations also […]

Proponents of I-912 hear this. Eastern Washington and the Mid-Columbia have been burned by these initiatives long enough. Your divisive tactics designed to “send a message to those politicians in Olympia” demonizing tax funds for public projects and infrastructure have damaged this state and Eastern Washington has had enough.
I am […]

If you haven’t seen the latest from David Goldstien I suggest you take a look. The last post on a new liberal “think tank” is actually not a bad idea on the surface!!

Wow! I hadn’t realized that the Benton County Democrats now have a web site. Previous searches had come up empty in the past and I had given up.

Site is pretty good and has a forum area. I particularly like the Doc Hastings posts. I never thought […]
