Ferguson radically more costly than Inslee (so says the state budget office). Much worse than Inslee.

Fighting for taxpayers for 29 years
More costly than Jay Inslee.
Ya, I know, it’s hard to believe.
For 12 long years, we were forced to deal with a governor with an insatiable appetite for raising taxes even though as a candidate he emphatically and repeatedly promised to veto any tax increase.
Once he got in, he didn’t waste any time.
At his very first press conference, Inslee immediately pushed for higher taxes, proposing to extend several tax increases that were set to expire.
As the Washington State Wire correctly reported: “A vote to reimpose an old tax is the same thing as a new tax.”
But Inslee claimed otherwise. “They are not tax increases,” Inslee said. “That is a numerical mathematical conclusion that Huskies and Cougars, no matter where you went to school, can agree with on a mathematical basis.”
Yes, he really said that. What an idiot.
For 12 long years, Inslee pushed for every tax hike he could.
Inslee signed every tax increase that came across his desk.
He didn’t veto any of them.
The total cost to taxpayers?
$62.3 billion.
It just seemed inconceivable that anyone could be worse.
Enter Bob Ferguson.
In JUST 2 legislative sessions, here’s what the state budget office reports he’s cost the taxpayers so far:
$65.8 billion.
Think about that.
It took Inslee 12 years to impose $62.3 billion.
Ferguson in 2 years has hit us with $65.8 BILLION.
Bob Ferguson is putting our state into a kamikaze dive that his ego and ideology will not allow him to pull out of.
And you and I are going to pay the price for it.
The only good news I can give you is this: all those tax hikes are at least partially offset by the savings from our tax initiatives over the years:
Our fight for the people of the state of Washington is needed now more than ever.
No wonder Bully Bob Ferguson is trying so hard to impose a lifetime ban on all my future political activity!
