Amboy resident Thomas Schenk believes citizens of this state, who do not vote, have contributed to Democrat one party rule
Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com
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.

“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…” Man, oh man, it couldn’t have been said better! Here’s hoping that Gov. Ferguson grows a pair and line-veto’s the most onerous portions of the budget package.
With taxes ever-increasing in this State, it is suspected that more and more people and businesses will relocate. After all, that IS the only thing one can do if one doesn’t like the ever-increasing taxes… you leave and go somewhere else to live. If you are a fiscally conservative politician in this State, you are pretty much rendered ineffective.
A saying comes to mind… something about spending others’ money is fine until there are no others?
“Citizens of this state, who do not vote, have contributed to Democrat one party rule.” Thomas S.
I agree with you whole heartily. I have heard every excuse why not to vote and it is unbelievable to me! Has the fluoridation dumbed people down so much, they don’t care? Have they read anything about Agenda 21 or Stainable by Tom Deweese. There are things we can do to change things but it starts at the local level. Get involved and be the fix, not the problem! If the church people helped, we could fix voter fraud, stop fluoridation, get the corrupt voted out, and get moral trustworthy people in office, who actually work for the people. They are giving away our freedoms by not participating. Fast Tracking us to the NOW. Learn Chinese as soon as you can before the Communist flag hangs over us!
Are non-voters waiting on Trump? Trump did fix a lot of things in the first 100 days, but he had a lot of help and needs more.
Vancouver is the best example. No one will run against the corrupt mayor or councilmembers. People don’t like what they are doing but sit back and take it. In masses, we still have power. Show up at public meetings. Are there any strong men or real women around that want better for there families and community?
Right now, three thousand WA farms may be shut down before the end of the year. They have to prove they own the well water on their property! No water, NO FOOD. All this redevelopment will take their water.
Again, are none voters waiting on Trump? Trump did fix a lot of things in the first 100 days, but he had a lot of help and needs more. It starts locally.
