Special Session is set for next Tuesday

What do you think of a Special Session?  It's official, the Governor and lawmakers have agreed to the terms that will allow the legislature the extra time they need to finalize the state's budgets.  Lawmakers failed to finish their work on time during the 105-day long regular session.  The Governor announced she will call lawmakers back to Olympia for a full 30-day session beginning next Tuesday, April 26th.

If the legislator's and the governor had not initially created such a mess, they wouldn't need a special session to make a bigger mess down the road. And, as usual, they spent a lot of time introducing asinine and insane bills that wasted time, resources, and taxpayer's dollars.

Let's face it. The Democrat majority is interested in one thing-bigger government, higher and more taxes, and absolutely cannot fathom that a lot of people are sick and tired of their running this state into the ground. It's beyond time they began acting like adults instead of whiny children living in a fairy tale land that doesn't exist.

Fire them ALL!! 103 Days and no Budget is unexcusable!

It's like we've all been told . . . "If you don't learn from History you are destined to repeat it."  We'll in Washington State the voters keep sending the same people to office expecting a different result.

Can you say Dumb and Dumber?

I want to know why the legislature introduces over 2,000 bills EVERY YEAR. Are they so incompetent that the laws they pass have to be reviewed every year? Do things change so much from year to year that thousands of bills have to be written to deal with these changes? Impossible!

I would also like to know why the voters of this state keep re-electing the same incompetent people over and over again. Is there a death wish among these people? Do they enjoy all of the frivolity and insanity year after year? Maybe its comedy to them to see how much the people who work and who pay taxes can be stripped of their hard-earned money to fund the continual waste, fraud and incompetency of these people. It isn't funny to me and to all of the others who are sick and tired of these people who are leading us into the ground.
