As was acknowledged by the Columbian, concerning Washington State Governor Jay Inslee’s sneaking into town to hold what can only be described as a Cheerleading Session promoting the CRC, encouraging the hand-picked supporters to “raise the decibels,” meaning to squash struggling middle class taxpayers unwilling to send even more of their dwindling tax dollars to Olympia, Senator Don Benton, (R. 17th) held his own impromptu presser right after Inslee’s.
Part 1
Part 2, interviewed by Vancouver Business Journal’s Managing Editor, Nick Kulmac
Basically, Governor Inslee engaged in a snow job while in Vancouver, encouraging supporters to call friends, raise their voices and create support, apparently realizing that the middle class taxpayers leading the opposition are increasing and making headway. Inslee, Moeller, Wylie, Cleveland and others see their dream of forcing Clark County to accept Portland’s light rail against our wishes slipping away and will be increasing their push to force citizens and businesses into lock-step.
We cannot allow that to happen and we must stand up, speak out, contact our friends and gather everybody opposed or on the fence about the project and show them just how much this project will destroy our community, all so Portland can be bailed out and donors to Democrats can be repaid with our tax dollars.
It is up to you to stand up now, no one will be able to do it by themselves nor will they be able to stop it for you.
