Do You Have Utility Rate Increases and Tax Fatigue?

Did you read The Seattle Times article "More Demands on Your Dollar"? Seattle Public Utilities proposed rate increases of "29% for garbage collection and 18 percent for water next year." And, King County Metro Transit is considering a bigger increase than the planned 25-cent bus-fare increase or else have service cuts.

We need to get the costs of utilities down not up. Maybe we need a desalination plant like Tampa Bay, Florida has. Maybe we need to harness more wind power so that we can get cheaper electricity and afford to use electric cars or retrofit our own. There will be a $2.7 billion dollar shortfall when the Legislature meets in January. Both of my opponents want a state income tax.

Maybe we need to start thinking about our getting the state's finances under control! Maybe we need to elect some Legislators that are actually concerned about voter's pocket books rather than raising taxes to take care of the shortfalls! The Primary election is August 19th.
