This week's Newsmaker
Interview...
This week we talked with Andrea
Suarez, Founder and Executive Director of the non-profit
volunteer organization We Heart Seattle. In a very short time the
group has made a significant impact in cleaning up encampments
and helping people get off the streets. Created during the
height of the COVID pandemic in 2020 when homeless encampments
were filling Seattle's parks, sidewalks, and other public places,
We Heart Seattle challenged the status quo regarding how best to
help those struggling with drugs and homelessness. Along the
way, they have encountered protests by a small group of
extremists as volunteers have cleaned up encampments and
attempted to help those who were suffering. Read more...

This week's top story…
We assume part of Governor
Inslee's decision to take a carbon polluting flight to the U.N.
was to get away from the increasingly louder local noise over his
costly cap-and-tax scheme and the Washington Policy Center's case
that "Governor Inslee's office and others in his administration
are upset that we and others refer to the cost of the CO2
allowances in the law as a 'tax.' The governor's office and
others have resorted to some very convoluted language and logic
to avoid using that politically powerful word." Read more...

In case you missed it…
Leave it to the local paper to
put the finishing touches on the Democrat plan to let the courts
do their re-districting dirty work. That's the take from the
Yakima Herald editorial page, which writes that "(W)hatever
happens with the District 15 boundaries from here, somebody won't
be happy, so more suits or appeals could be in the works soon. We
wouldn't be surprised if the courts were still haggling over this
one when the next census comes around." However, the local paper
takes a dim view of the Dems' motivation for the lawsuit,
pointing out that "some Democrats - particularly those who live
west of the Cascade Range - seem confident that a clear Latino
majority in the 15th would automatically add a nice hue of blue
to Central Washington. But they're living in a fantasy world if
they take for granted that Latinos will lean left." Read more...


Governor Inslee's pennies can
sure add up...
