Heckuva job, Oly!...

...erm, the budget writers who congregated in Olympia under the banner of my political party who can't be summed up in a witty word or two that ends in "y" or "ie" but shouldn't, as Emmett reminds us, be used to besmirch the folks who call the fine town of Oly home.

“People will die as a consequence of this budget.”

Rep. Brendan Williams, D-Olympia

Democrats crafted and passed that budget, and a Democratic Governor signed it. As Democrats, we need to think long and hard about that, and then we need to do something about that.

And a little bonus advice from Adlai for our "leaders" in Olympia...

"Courage to do the right thing in public office is often at the price of the office."

Just so ya' know, cowardice can exact the same price.
