  • JOE FITZGIBBON, in the golden years.

We gave Joe Fitzgibbon, the Democrat from Seattle’s 34th District, an adoring endorsement when he ran as a 23-year-old four years ago. But Olympia seems to have sucked the life out of him. It definitely sucked the spine out of him. (Let’s not mention what the SECB wanted to suck out of him four years ago.) He admits that voting for Boeing’s $9 billion tax break felt “shitty,” but he did it anyway. FFS, Joe.
