I 1433 Raise wages, paid sick leave etc. NO. Will kill business in Eastern Washington as it will be a challenge to compete with ID businesses. This will TAKE money (estimated) $363 million from the WA State budget... the politicians can barely balance the budget now! A comment, when did entry jobs become a career?? My first job paid $1.64 an hour and I knew at that time at the ripe old age of 16 this is not what I wanted to do for the next 50 years.
I 1464 The taxpayers pay for all campaigns.. yeah it costs $285 million of taxpayer's money!!... I rather spend the money on snowmobile access or... how about SCHOOLS!!! Or decreasing the cost of COLLEGE!! It still allows out of state organizations to spend whatever. Notice in the voter's pamphlet the argument against this initiative is written by Democrats and Republicans. I vote no.
I1491 court orders to temporarily remove firearms from the mentally ill and violent folks. Sure it won't fix all of the crazies with guns... but seems to be a step in the right direction. Working in mental health in the past... this initiative seems to make sense. Yeah I am a gun owner and have a CCP, and belong to the NRA... I vote yes.
I1501 civil consumer protection. Seems like a good deal until you read the details... this one is really bad and is a big union attempt to keep its members in the dark as well decreasing transparency of their funding. I voted No:bowl:
I 732 Increase tax on fossil fuels reduce other taxes (i.e. sales tax but local government can raise it back up). Oh sure they will lower taxes and then later raise it back up (remember our big fight to get rid of the hundreds of dollars we spent every year to license your car?) Yeah it is not at the level it was before but the government is adding a lot of fees and charges to get a license and you folks in the Seattle area are just getting screwed!!... The folks for this say it will reduce, "droughts, fires, and floods" ... umm sure and I have a bridge for sale in New York. Hey I am all in favor of clean energy but we are not there yet. With wind there is no way (currently) to store unused power... in Central Washington there is a solar plant that stores electricity but the construction of the batteries (and later disposal) is far dirtier than fossil fuels. Come up with clean ways to store wind and solar (hydro already does) then I am in! I voted no.
I 735 This is a BS, PC initiative sending a recommendation to the federal government that free speech only applies to individuals. Personally I want more free speech so I voted No.
Advisory Vote 14... costs people money, I say no
Advisory vote 15???????????
Senate Joint 8210, yeah okay put a time line on redistricting.
US Senate: Seems Washington State needs a balance in the US Senate, yeah the lemmings in Seattle will probably out vote the rest of the state and return Patty to the US Senate, but listening to the debate the other night Chris Vance makes a lot of sense. So I checked Vance
US Representative. If you live in downtown Seattle you get to pick between two Democrats; but for the rest of the state, VOTE GOP for the US House! The last thing you want to see is a return of Speaker Nancy Pelosi:face-icon-small-sad as she will rubber stamp anything Bill's wife proposes.. We need to keep an adult in Washington DC no matter who is elected as President. I rather have Paul Ryan as Speaker over ultra liberal Pelosi.
Governor... Inslee is a dork, does not like our snowmobiles or people in public lands plus he would like an income tax. I voted for Bill Bryant
Commissioner of Public Lands... ??
State representatives and senators I would vote GOP to balance the probable re-election of Democrat Inslee... Inslee likes to tax and spend, limit motor vehicle use
Supreme Court... ANY of the judges that are the incumbent I am voting against... because of the McLeary decision, way over stepped the role of the court... heck before you know it they will also run the state' budget and levy a tax. Yes the state needs to partially pay for K-12 education but the legislature and governor need to sort out how much of the pie goes to education not the Supreme Court (it is called balance of power between the three branches). Years ago some of these dorks wiped out grandparent's rights to visitation to grandchildren... yeah love that one!
Discussion wanted.. and hopefully the monitors will leave this in the Washington forum so WA snowmobilers will see it and we can discuss. Cheers!:face-icon-small-hap
