Go home already. That is the sentiment of citizens as they watch Democrats spend another $14,000 per day keeping the Washington State Legislature in session.
Enough! You had an entire sixty day regular session to spend our money and raise our taxes. This special session is ridiculous, and the amount of money it takes everyday to be in Olympia is double ridiculous.
“Every three days they keep us in session equals the cost of a teacher,” said State House Republican Leader Richard DeBolt, who is among the lawmakers choosing NOT to collect his daily financial allowance for being in session."
“This is a family quarrel right now among Democrats over which taxes to increase. Once they agree on the tax increases, we can come back to Olympia and wrap up the session in a day or two.”
Taxing us the only option being considered by Democrats, and they hold all the legislative cards to raise them.
“When the time comes to debate these bills, we will do our best to provide a voice for the citizens who cannot afford higher taxes during these tough economic times."
"In the meantime, however, the taxpayers should not be paying the price for the Democrats’ inability to get their work done.”
With one week in to this "not-so-special" session, and no end in sight, we agree with Rep. DeBolt.
Go home already! At least attempt to save taxpayers THAT money.
