Fix Washington state, Jay

We have so many things here in our state that Jay Inslee could focus on rather than wasting his (and our) time running for president.

The smoke from the wildfires choked out his citizens for months last summer and the previous year. Logging has been frowned upon by those trying to save the trees, saving the spotted owl kicked off the effort to curtail the forest products industry. Now those same “greenies” are blaming global warming for the forest fires. Remember those screaming about grass burning in the Rathdrum Prairie until that was effectively wiped out? Where is the outrage now?

Hanford was supposed to start turning all that radioactive waste into glass years ago. Have they accomplished anything during this “glassification” project? Billions of dollars have been wasted.

Mr. Inslee is running on global warming. Take care of your own state first, Governor, then maybe you can show us what you can do for the world.
