Weyerhaeuser to buy Plum Creek

[Curly]

The governor did good warning weyco. I wish officials in our state would make warn timber companies and then be ready to back it up.

Where do we get a governor who cares about the heritage and traditions of their citizens?  I'm gonna send a letter to Inslee.  I know he doesn't care about the heritage of hunters, but I do think he cares about corporations getting tax breaks in exchange for public benefits. Especially when those companies turn around and reduce or eliminate the benefit but keep the whole tax break.  Corporate welfare is a democratic target.

He could be the spark we need to get a legislative review of our tax system.  Afterall, he thinks he has superpowers already.  He wants to fix the climate, maybe he will settle for taking on this political football. No legislator from the rural timber areas will touch a review of tax breaks since they might upset their big money.

You'll need to find a politician who hunts and is popular in Seattle.

Might be easier to go unicorn hunting.

If only we could convince Steve Largent to come back and run for governor. I think he could have a decent shot at it.
