Amboy resident Thomas Schenk believes citizens of this state, who do not vote, have contributed to Democrat one party rule

One party Democrat rule in Washington state has produced a spending increase to residents of 10 to 12 billion dollars.

I guess it’s true, Democrats never met an increase in fees, taxes or charges they wouldn’t vote for … especially when they’re spending someone else’s hard earned money.
An estimate of the cost of this increased spending to a family of four comes in at $2,000.00 per year.
Rest assured the next legislative session, the Democrat one party rule will resurrect spending bills that didn’t make it this session.
Until the voters in Washington State get angry enough to correct the imbalance of the one party rule of Democrats, you should expect a steady diet of higher and higher taxes and a further erosion of parental and individual rights.
Citizens of this state, who do not vote, have contributed to Democrat one party rule.
Maybe having Olympia’s hand in their pocket will get them off their collective duffs and break the Democrats unfortunate grip on the throat of taxpayers.
