A lackey, not a leader
Jay Inslee is an embarrassment to Eastern Washington.
He is not a leader of our state. He is a lackey for the unions in Washington state, bowing to their request after receiving millions in funding from unions and votes that are requested from the members by their union representatives. These moneys and votes require some respective results of legislation to improve requirements for employers and state representation to ensure their continued contributions, resulting in rising prices for everything. Example: Inslee’s travels around the country to promote politicians in other states while his chauffeur/security patrolmen racked up $400,000 in overtime payments and he now wants a $1.3 million increase in the budget (taxes) for future use. Maybe to enhance his travels anticipating a bid for president (God help us all).
Sanctuary Western Washington is another effort by him and AG Ferguson to try to combat everything the president of the United States tries to do to protect American citizens from unwanted cost for supplying criminals and illegals from depleting resources of security, food, housing, medical and educational limited tax base.
To follow this insatiable desire is our own mayor, who wants to impede the Border Patrol and ICE from doing their best at their mandated job of protecting American citizens.
