WA State is fast becoming the leader in mismanagement of taxpayer dollars.

This would be funny if it was not true. I was pretty surprised by this last election seeing what a mess the State is in.
BUT, the majority of the State's population lives in the Seattle concrete jungle.
I have lived here for most of my life and it is quite sad to see the changes from the late 60's up until now.

Just saw today that they are a billion dollars short.
The liberal people on the west side are going to tax me into prosperity even if I have to live in a cardboard box.

I was a 50/50 split on being a fan of discover passes. I thought it was stupid at first, but than figured hell for 35 a year it's a good cause for public access. At a reiter pit event we were talking with dnr and I said well, at least this is helping open more offroad trails, hiking trails, public access opportunities etc. One of the higher ups said, the percentage of this money that goes to offroad areas etc is so minsecule its basically irrelevant. He said it mainly goes to highly trafficked city areas. Blew my mind, he was pissed we were pissed etc. Unfortunately it's dam near required for orv areas. I havnt looked up where the actual funds go but that would be interesting

One thing I suggest is to cut ALL DEMOCRATS PAY BY 2/3 to help pay down the short fall? The cut the governors pay by 3/4 also! Then stop the salmon culvert project this alone will save the state over $30 million dollars! If the Indians want this to be completed then they can pay for it to be done, the salmon went through those 24” culverts for decades. The Indians can get crews together to clean pit the area on both sides of those culverts!
