Budgeting around the expectation of voter approved tax revenue is a very poor, failed idea, and one we’ve already seen from Olympia. I simply don't think that we can tax our way into a balanced budget, or into prosperity, as suggested by the majority. The legislature has tried that before, and it only served to delay and exacerbate the deficit problem, perpetuating the real problem of overspending. Remember, we still have sustained, record levels of unemployment.Spot on, sir. Well said.
If you want to contact Senator Hewitt, or another of our representatives in Olympia, you can find their official State page (and an e-mail link) here.
