More economic damage caused by the Inslee/Ferguson cap-and-trade tax scheme.
Assessed value of Grays Harbor's largest property-tax-paying business drops $52M. That amount shifts to nearby property owners.
Homeowners, mostly.
Vote YES on I-2117. Repeal CCA.

Old school Aberdeen.
The store isn't there any more. Looked great, though.
The remaining Brennans are our neighbors on Broadway Hill.

An anxious freshman legislator tries to be 'fierce' on social media. But the only thing that's 'fierce' is the relentless ratio that follows.
Please, don't click through and add to the ratio.

Still more weekend reading.
Last coverage of the WAGOP Convention that I'll share this weekend. Pretty good recap of the Convention from The Washington State Standard.
Though it does quote more candidates who WEREN'T endorsed than candidates who were....

More weekend reading.
More media coverage of the WAGOP Convention. Reasonably fair--though not fawning--report from KING5 News.
Key excerpt:
“Walsh [said:] 'Some people love the rough-and-tumble of politics. Some don’t. Our goal is to win in November.”

Weekend viewing.
Glen Morgan and I were the 'pro' side of a debate on the Seattle Channel about I-2117/Repeal the Cap-and-Trade Tax Scheme.
Likely the first of many TV and media debates on I-2117. Pretty good primer.
Vote YES on I-2117 this November!

Jim Walsh I just got an email from PSE - they want to set an appointment to replace all my gas appliances with electric ones - they will even give me discounts on the new HVAC - Water Heater - gas fireplace - gas stove. I sure hope we can win these initiatives.

Last night's dinner was huge!

Waiting for MSM to report breathlessly on 'chaotic' water in Spokane.

More media coverage of the Washington State GOP State Convention in Spokane.
Some MSM stories about the convention will use words like 'chaos' and 'chaotic' in headlines.
In fact, the Convention was never chaotic and followed standard parliamentary order the whole time.

The Limousine Left has ALWAYS shown contempt for the truth. Privately. What's changed is that their arrogance makes them so sloppy that they say this garbage publicly now.

The politics of compliance works by weaponizing the psychology of the compliant. They're either zealous or dissonant about their decisions to take up the (forced) causes. They are offered a way out of suffering if only enough people comply.

More media coverage of the Washington State GOP State Convention, happening this weekend in Spokane.
No 'coronation.' No empty ceremony. Nothing is decided. This is going to be a REAL political convention.

Attended a fundraiser last night for Pete Serrano, the Mayor of Pasco and founder of the Silent Majority Foundation, who's running for WA State Attorney General.
Today, Pete was in court protecting all Washingtonians' constitutional rights in the Gator's Guns case.
He's good.

I spoke yesterday to a group of activists from Informed Choice WA & Children's Defense Fund who were visiting the State Capitol in Olympia.
They're touring the state and the whole U.S., promoting support for state laws that encourage non-political science in public policy.

Tuesday Q&A (4/16/24). Back on schedule. From the State Capitol in Olympia.
