Holy crap, Dems finally stood their ground for once. Save some salmon and make republicans swim in shit, it's a win-win.

And, he's out of here - now who is Melissa McCarthy going to make fun of?

Carbonado can totally replace their sewer lines, they just need to pay for it. Check out this town of 300 taking on a 1.8 million bill for their water supply http://www.harpersferrywv.us/water/Harpe… That doesn't change that the senate republicans are assholes of the highest order valuing unlimited development over sustainable survival for us and our resources and using that 'value' to hold everything else in the state hostage.

"WTF, Wa Leg?" The answer is: Republicans in control of anything.

Thanks again Rodney Tom & Tim Sheldon. Fucking traitors.

Carbonado, Washington regularly elects Republicans to the state Legislature, including Sen. Phil Fortunato - who supported the 'hostage taking' strategy of not passing a construction budget that would have helped with things like leaking sewer systems.

Fuck'em - let the streets of Carbonado fill with shit. You reap what you sow.

"Upshot" link is broken

You do realize that with no capital budget there will be jobs lost: even here in Seattle. Or because they are largely construction (working class) jobs you guys just don't care?
