The
socialist
candidates are
bringing in some
of the largest amounts of all
Seattle city
candidates.
Except, it’s the
taxpayers paying
for their
campaigns.
Shaun Scott, a
Democratic
Socialist, has
raised over
$100,000 in
democracy
vouchers,
$12,000 more
than anyone
else. Kshama Sawant is fourth
in total
fundraising for
city candidates.
Despite that science
tells us hydropower is non-polluting,
Seattle Liberals
are still
advocating for
the tearing down
of the lower Snake river
dams.
"We’re
outnumbered by
the other side
of the state
where people see
dam breaching as
the obvious
solution," said
Congressman Dan Newhouse, (WA, 4th district).
Breaching the
four Lower Snake
dams, starting
at Ice Harbor
near Burbank, WA,
would have a
marginal effect
on the orcas,
according to
Todd Myers of
the Washington
Policy Center.
It’s
not just
Republicans
appalled by the
tactics used by
Democrats late
in the session.
Voters,
taxpayers, and
editorial
boards. “Take,
for example, the
way the
Democratic-majority
in the
Legislature used
a parliamentary
trick to get
around the state
constitution at
the end of the
just completed
legislative
session,” wrote
the
Union-Bulletin
Editorial Board.
That trick
allowed
Democrats to
pass a
last-minute tax
increase while
avoiding public
or member input.
Washington Is the
Best State in
America
US News & World Report named
Washington the
number one state
in America. Our
hydroelectric
dams have
afforded us with
an immense
amount of clean
and affordable
energy – which
was just one of
the many things
that makes our
state such a
special place to
call home.
