And this is in Washington? The Liberal Utopia (or so someone would have us believe)? Workers paradise? Surely they can tax all the upper income people - you know those who make over $250,000 a year to make up for the deficit. Hmmmm... Washington huh? Wow. Yup. Washington State of Utopia. |

You really should read the article before commenting (since you got the sequence of events wrong) and then attempt to reconcile that the reporter has a specific interest. You might even consider opposing viewpoints or the bigger picture. Naw. |

Balanced my arse. Borrowed billions from counties and cities against their will, delay state paychecks one day in to next fiscal year. Accelerate income payments. But that means, less tax payments next year, or they got to send a lot of money back to the folks who overpaid. A few furlough days. No renegotiated excess labor contracts, no reduction in the excess state workforce. Washington State will probably learn from Califonia pols and do the same stupid things. |

We've cut many services that folks consider essential. Very hard decisions to make but they're being made. It's not a good situation for anyone in state government, USA. |

Bank regulation comes to mind. Twice. |
