Let’s Go Washington Founder Brian Heywood speaks out
Today (March 6), House Republicans released their budget breakdown that shows radical progressives will take more of your money even if they don’t need it. It proves government greed is driving tax increases, not real public benefit.
Initiative opponents are resorting to scare tactics – but do not be fooled. The truth is, Olympia politicians have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. #waleg #washingtonstate #fixwashington pic.twitter.com/mvIeo3OopZ

Radical progressives in Olympia have the money to pay for all the programs they want to and more. However, they would rather tax voters and fund pet projects to keep their special interests happy than do what is right.
This budget release proves, yet again, that common sense solutions are possible and radical progressives are using scare tactics.
“I-2117 will end the hidden gas tax. It will give money back to Washingtonians and keep greedy government hands out of our wallets,” said Brian Heywood, Let’s Go Washington founder. “The ruling class can no longer bully their way into voters’ wallets without consequence. The hidden gas tax has hurt commuters and working Washingtonians the most, and has done nothing to cut back on carbon emissions. Even with all the new spending, we could eliminate the hidden gas tax and the capital gains tax, and still have a surplus. The reality is that radical progressives would rather scare voters or bribe them into supporting their bad policies than actually craft legislation that works for our state. Today we put an end to their continuous drumbeat of lies.”
We join with Max Reede from Liar Liar in wishing that for just one day, radical progressives wouldn’t tell a lie.
