“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

Democrats actually reject some forms of revenue

Are pigs buzzing your house?

Many states that have tribal casinos have revenue-sharing agreements with the tribes that bring millions into the state’s coffers.

Read the whole thing here. The Washington State Supreme Court will decide to review a suit against Governor Gregoire on 24 April.
