Yep, no state income tax so the politicians have to make up a deficit. Also, we have to fuel the growth in the central Puget Sound area, namely Seattle and environs. just wondering, since Boeing may be pulling out due to Machinists nixing Boeing offers, is the 8 billion dollars in tax relief still on? i sure don't like subsidizing big business. Microsoft still gets tax breaks.
We live in Bellingham but don't shop any further north than we have to to. Nothing but traffic snarls around the big box stores north of town with Canadians buying fuel and groceries, especially milk, in large quantities. Our AG at one time did a study about why we in Whatcom County pay so much for fuel. His result? "Because we can afford it!" Huh??????
