Brown delivering tax plan

The Spokesman-Review

We are senior citizens who relocated to Spokane from the Seattle area in the summer of 2006. One of the many reasons we chose Spokane was to distance ourselves from King County politics. Apparently we didn’t distance ourselves far enough as we are still dealing with Lisa “Pelosi” Brown.

We are infuriated and appalled at the arrogance of this woman in her efforts to repeal Initiative 960. If Brown would take a moment to reflect how she was elected, she would realize that the majority of the voters who put her in office are many of the same voters who passed I-960.

Our state leaders have turned a reported treasury surplus into a huge shortfall. Brown’s solution is to ignore the will of the people and repeal I-960 so that this state can continue to spend, spend, spend and tax, tax, tax! What has happened to government “of the people, for the people and by the people”? It seems it is now “of the government, for the government and by the government.”

Wake up, Washington voters. State income tax is coming. Where’s the Tylenol?
