You would expect this to pass. First the state raises all of our electric bills by making everyone buy "green" electricity, which by definition hydroelectric is not... Now they want us to pay for those that can afford to put in costly solar electricy, wind generators and small hydroplants,...

NO NO NO NO... This bill is not needed due to the ability of local governments to increae their sales taxes. Which is why the sales tax is differnt in King Co than Spokane Co. It is just a stupid idiotic bill that shows just how much the dems want to raise taxes.

To Sen. Maralyn Chase, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO... Just in case you don't know what NO means, the New Heritage Dictionary defines no: Used to express refusal, denial, disbelief, emphasis, or disagreement: No , I'm not going. No , you're wrong. Not at all; not by any degree. Learn...

That being said, it probably...

So instead of fixing the budget, the legislater has nothing better to do than to muck-up teacher certification? You can tell these legislatures do not care a thing about their constituents.

It is too bad that the legislature is not smart enough to know that you need to cut useless government programs (like ORCAA) and art for public buildings, and have the legislature pay increase tied into the Social Security COLA rather than whatever formula they use. And they have a chance to do these...

This will never get past the gov's desk. Gregoire has her nose so far into Obama that she will do anything he wants, and he wants his healthcare passed to the detriment of everyone. DK

Once again, this plays to Gregoire's forced urbanization. Why is the government picking on those that have probably lost their jobs, probably have sub-par housing in the first place in an economic crisis which is north of 9.3% according to the bureau of Labor statistics http://www.bls.gov/lau/ ....

So let me get this straight, even though as of now, the elected officials (who are overpaid) will get their COLA, they want the people they entrust their children to and depend on to educate their children to forego their COLA's even though they are underpaid anyway? And these are the same people...

Lanie we agree on so much, the difference is you much more eloquent on this then I. DK
