Lars Larson: Both OR and WA ignore voters

The Northwest Nonsense

“Slow learners” seems the best way to describe democrat politicians in Salem and Olympia.

Governor Bob Ferguson signed Washington’s first income tax in almost a hundred years, knowing the public overwhelmingly hates it.

So, the so-called “millionaire tax” faces immediate challenges in both the courts and the threat to take it to a public vote.

Oregon did the same, with lawmakers passing an overwhelmingly unpopular multi billion dollar tax hike, which citizens forced to the ballot with signatures gathered in less than six weeks.

Lawmakers in both states wrote their budgets assuming they’d get the new tax money even though a bit of common sense would tell you that money ain’t coming.

Like I said, “slow learners”.

But it’s really worse than that because so called legislators in both state capitols are telling citizens they don’t care what the public wants…they plan to do it anyway.

Brings a whole new meaning to the title “representative”
