Slog - Comments on More Agenda Items From Opening Day in Olympia http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/more_agenda_items_fr When I was leaving today's swearing-in ceremonies, I ran into Zach Hudgins's 11th District colleague, Bob Hasegawa. ( I had talked to Hudgins earlier today.) I ran into Hasegawa by a snack table in the rotunda where he had just finished eating a bag of potato chips. Hasegawa had an ambitious (and kind of exciting) agenda. He told me that he was thrilled (and a little nervous) to have been assigned vice-chair of the finance committee.

If you can make any of this state crap interesting to read I am going to elevate my opinion of you from a 'dam good' political writer to a 'fucking great' writer!


The local stuff has at least some reference to our daily lives, we know the characters involved... we see them on TV, they're funny looking etc., but to make these state people interesting... now that's gonna require some major writing skills.


I'm pulling for you though man...

Some of those folks are re training for new jobs and helping them more is solid policy..... and much of this aid comes as loan which will be paid back... win, win for all.

The corporate stuff is silly babble.

Washington requires B and O taxes, collects professional fees, and all the rest of the taxes for L and I, and un- employment......

God forbid that some are making profits. Maybe the good economy and cash gushing in all directions is a good thing, especially for the state which can now pay its bills.

Babble, babble, babble. "Excess profits" - bet this guy has never owned a business himself.

Josh, ask Tim.
