gets his way gets his & latest proposal to raise Washington's taxes
yet another $.10 a gallon
(Hmm from 55.9 cents a gallon, #9 highest in nation)
up to 3nd highest in nation!!!! (NY is $.69, CA is at $.67)

Well, Yeaahh! In my city as they change perfectly good
and usable streets that were 2 lanes in each direction
(including through light controlled intersections)
to 1 lane each direction plus bike lanes on each side,,,
that definitely adds jobs,
2 people manning the stop & slow signs,
a whole crew to do the repainting etc.
plus collision repair improved business from
road rage incidents because of more back up
traffic jams.
