All of this talk of funding, of universal preschool, of charter schools (pro-choice should apply to more than just abortion) is not going to change anything. Moving away from grades, tests, and arbitrary curricula, while empowering individual students to have a voice in their education is the only real way to improve education. Everything else is just theater.

We NEED to implement a state income tax. This is never going to happen, so we're GOING to just kind of sit back and watch while government services crumble around us.

We can't fund kindergarten if we're paying for special elections because some dumbshit can't read a calendar. Yes, you Jay.
You're implying that he should have resigned earlier? Had he done so, the special election couldn't have been an add-on to the already-scheduled primary and general election. The controlling legislation is RCW 29A.28.041(3):
(3) If the vacancy occurs less than eight months before a state general election and before the close of the filing period for that general election, the special primary, special vacancy election, and minor party and independent candidate nominating conventions must be held in concert with the state primary and state general election in that year.
Thus, had Inslee resigned earlier, it surely would have cost more -- probably much more -- than whatever will eventually be the price tag for the piggy-backed special election. So you should be thanking Jay for saving the state and the counties some serious change. And also for cutting down on all the paper and envelopes that a separate election would have required.

"The difference between my opponent and I is that my 10 year nap in the House has let me have time to fantasize about money growing on trees and how I will fly around the state giving out gold bullion and gumdrops to all citizens. And also, I will create a 20 foot high granite statue that spells out the word I-N-S-L-E-E."

Inslee's not going to get bolder. Anyone who says "grow the economy" is a real plan is way far away from being even mildly declarative, let alone bold.

Is that an honest use of the word "or," or an accidental slip? 'Cause a progressive income tax sure doesn't fall much on working stiffs, unless by that you mean people making will into the six figures.

- more early childhood education
- full-day kindergarten paid for (he calls it "kindygarten", cute)

Yes, he got asked about the costs for the special election and said there were thousands of people out of work and he wanted to work towards a better economy for them. Basically, he ignored the costs question but the answer was fine.

Education is critical.

Speaking of the Red Sea Pedestrian, how come Goldy sends his angel to all white republican schools on Mercer Island and not his assigned school Rainier Beach?

Is Inslee a circumcised goyem?
