Democrats

Apparently, Senate Democrats think it's ok for perps to drive on sidewalks?

After nearly 11 years of trying, Gov. Inslee finally gets his capital gains tax.

Now that Democrats are in control in the House, Senate and White House, they hope to use their majority based political power to add 4 more Liberal justices.

This bill has not sat well with victims groups, Republican legislators, and others who've been affected by the actions of criminals.

The Democratic Senate proposed budget derives some of it's income from a proposed capital gains income tax.

opponents, including House GOP Members, say it's just another chisel being used to chip away authority, effectiveness and power of law enforcement.

According to an excellent piece in the Washington Observer, Democratic Ways and Means Committee members twice blocked amendments to Capital Gains Tax proposal that would have made it far easier for citizens to challenge.

Opponents of the bill, including law enforcement officials, say often the only reason perps pay their fines is the threat of losing license.

HB 1499 will remove criminal penalties for possession of certain amounts of heroin, meth, narcotics, and other drugs...similar to Oregon bill that passed last fall.

Revised bill still sets removal timetable for natural gas from developments.
