I call this so called Governor of Washington - Jay INSLEAZE - heavy on the SLEAZE part.
It is the core character of Democrats
noun Slang.
a contemptible or vulgar person.
a shabby or slovenly person.
a sleazy quality, character, or atmosphere; shoddiness; vulgarity.
It is the core character of Democrats
The people of Washington have voted DOWN every attempt to get anything like an income tax passed into law. But ol' SLEAZE BUCKET - now that he thinks he has a chance to become US President (delusion is part of the Democrat mind set too) is going to go for another stab at putting forth a TAX he thinks he can con the voters into accepting. He is using this as his FISHING expedition. What is so sad to me is that Washington Voters have been infiltrated by all those LEFTISTS that left California and moved up here - bringing all the things they said they left California for. I saw this begin in the 1960's when a bunch of California builders infested the King-Pierce County area. My husband and I had an Engineering and land development business so I saw the California builders as they landed in the area. They brought shoddy (SLEAZY) building standards - cutting costs while selling junk to the home buyers. What is sad is that no one stopped them back then. They have not only increased in number but they also attracted more out of California to infest this state. The heavy influence in the Puget Sound area of FAR LEFT politicians has taken the State of Washington down the sewage pipe like that in California. The last decent Democrat (or Republican) was Dixie Lee Ray. She did more conservative things than all those who followed her in office and that includes John SMELLman and the RINO who preceded her, Danny, Raise your fanny, Evans.
The Democrats, thanks to King County voters have filled the governors office since then. Now Jay InSLEAZE is planning a run for the Oval Office. Hard to get further to the Left than him. Save the FISH and bankrupt the voters. InSLEAZE has all the attraction of a stool sample.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee talks to reporters about his 2019-2021 budget proposal, Thursday, Dec. 13, 2018, at the Capitol in Olympia, Wash. TED S. WARREN AP PHOTO
OLYMPIA, WASH.
Gov. Jay Inslee is proposing a new capital gains tax and an increase in business taxes on services as part of his next two-year budget proposal that looks to increase spending on the state’s mental health system and the environment, including efforts to help the state’s struggling orca population.
After rolling out his policy goals on tackling climate change and the mental health system earlier in the week, Inslee on Thursday unveiled more specifics for the 2019-2021 budget cycle.
Most of the revenue from the $3.7 billion tax package proposed by Inslee comes from an increase in the business and occupation tax on services provided by accountants, attorneys, real estate agents and others. Under his plan, that tax would increase from 1.5 percent to 2.5 percent, which would raise $2.6 billion in his proposed $54.4 billion 2019-2021 budget.
About $975 million would be raised in fiscal year 2021 from a 9 percent capital gains tax on earnings from the sale of stocks, bonds and other assets above $25,000 for individuals and $50,000 for those who file jointly. The tax would take effect in mid-2020.Retirement accounts, homes, farms and forestry would be exempt.
Inslee’s budget office estimates about 42,000 households will be affected by the capital gains tax.
Opponents of a capital gain tax have argued that it’s a type of income tax illegal under state law; supporters call it an excise tax. The debate would likely end up in court if the Legislature approves the tax. Inslee said he is “very confident this will pass constitutional muster.”
Sen. John Braun, the ranking Republican on the Senate Ways and Means Committee, said in a written statement that Inslee’s plan “is not a serious proposal that deals with the realities of crafting and passing a budget.”
“If budgets are a statement of priorities, it’s clear the governor will always choose to spend more without considering the effect on taxpayers or the results we achieve,” Braun wrote.
Last month’s revenue forecast showed that the state revenues for the next two year cycle increased to $50 billion. But officials in Inslee’s budget office say that amount isn’t enough to adequately fund priority issues like mental health and other programs in addition to maintaining government services at current levels, including billions put toward the state’s education system. A part of that ongoing cost is the investment the Legislature has made in basic education as part of a multi-year court case that was resolved earlier this year.
“The pressure on the whole budget is from K-12, it’s from the decisions we’ve made over the past few years,” said David Schumacher, director of the Office of Financial Management
Inslee is proposing $1.1 billion in spending and a partial whale-watching ban to help support the recovery of Puget Sound’s critically endangered orcas.
Inslee rolled out some of his policy ideas earlier in the week. On Monday, among the climate change measures Inslee proposed was eliminating fossil fuels like natural gas and coal from the state’s electricity supply by 2045.
There was no carbon tax or fee included in the governor’s slate of proposed legislation that his office said would reduce carbon emissions to 25 percent below 1990 levels by 2035.
The centerpiece requires utilities to provide carbon-free electricity by 2045. Another major effort would implement a clean fuel standard similar to a program in California that requires fuel producers and importers to reduce the carbon emissions associated with transportation fuels.
Inslee has included $268 million in his proposed two-year budget to pay for his clean energy initiatives. The efforts include boosting electric vehicle use, promoting more energy-efficient buildings and phasing out hydrofluorocarbon, potent greenhouse gases commonly used for refrigeration.
In advance of Thursday’s official rollout, Inslee on Tuesday called for a $675 million increase in mental health spending over the next two years, including funding for his previously announced plan to move people hospitalized on civil commitments out of the state’s two psychiatric hospitals and into beds at facilities in the community. Western State Hospital an 850-plus bed facility in Lakewood has been plagued with problems and has lost its certification by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and federal funding after it repeatedly failed health and safety inspections.
The governor’s budget is just the first of three to be released in the coming months. After the next legislative session begins Jan. 14, the Senate and House will also release proposals during the 105-day session.
Democratic Rep. Timm Ormsby, the House budget chairman, said Inslee’s proposal is “a good starting point for upcoming budget negotiations.”
