    Coming To An Election Near You: Faux Politiciens

    Too bad Bryan Baird (Another Baird) was too young to run for the WA 3rd Congressional seat.  His candidacy would have shown how mindlessly people vote.  Because so many would have thought they were voting for the original Baird.  And, more importantly,  it shows how misguided is the interplay of the top two primary system with the two party system.  The “Bryan Baird” dilutes [...]

    WA State Tax Reform Needed

    I-1098 is a sensible reform getting rid of the poorly thought out B&O tax for small businesses, providing a reduction in property taxes and adding an income tax on the top 3% of income earners in the state.  My only concern is that once an income tax is passed, the income threshold will eventually be lowered thereby adding to the middle class tax burden.

    Even if the Washington State budget wasn’t busted, it is unfair and bad policy to allow Oregon residents an exemption from sales taxes in Washington.  Oregon does not allow Washington residents an exemption from their income tax.  It is also unlikely that very many Oregon residents actually travel to Washington to purchase merchandise given that their state is sales tax free.

    Another thing that [...]



    Local Blogger Chris Bassett Quoted in Oregonian Baird Article

    Local blogger extraordinaire, Chris Bassett, was quoted in an Oregonian (Mapes on Politics) article about Clark County politics and the increasingly odd behavior of the 3rd District Representative Brian Baird.

    Former Democratic activist Chris Bassett, whose blog on Clark County politics I discovered today, points to county-by-county returns on the two big initiatives on last week’s ballot. Voters in each county of the [...]
