greenspun.com : LUSENET : I-695 Thirty Dollar License Tab Initiative : One Thread

I saw the cartoon in the PI paper the one where it shows Gary locke scratching his head. How come is Gary Locke is having so munch promblem with only 2% of the budget??? He still has 98% to work with If he is having that munch promblems maybe he should not be Gov of Washington State

Right on Dave...he seemed to have taken the passage of I695 as a personal defeat. I saw him on TV a few times and he was acting like a petulant child out to punish those that went against him. I voted for him...but i'm definitely having second thoughts. Ron Simms came off the same way.

It's stated that license tab fees are only 2% of the budget, why then are there so many programs being affected by I695. Which begs the question, why are there so many programs taking money from the license tab fund? And why is Olympia dumping on the ferry system...quit subsidizing Lakewood $4million for lack of sales tax revenue. I didn't pay $465 for tabs this year to give it to Lakewood that's for sure.
