They're diving into the deep [...]

Sixty-nine percent of the state government's revenue comes from taxes, almost exactly the national average, but without an [...]

This morning\'s Times editorial page has another \"Special to the Times\" against I-1098 that contains little of substance or logic. I will reply to it in detail shortly. In my last post on topic Seattle Times Flunks Math on I-1098, I suggested that the Washington Policy Center might have funding from biased sources, and it turns out I was correct. See details at http://www.desmogblog.com/washington-policy-center-background-and-history.

While saying “We are not thrilled” with Koster and Larsen, The Times recommended them anyway. The endorsement barely mentioned two less-well-funded Democratic candidates from Bellingham who, together, garnered more votes [...]

For instance (see http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/opinion/2012238971_guest30mercier.html), the directors of the Washington Policy Center claim to have used "economic modeling" to show that replacing the B&O tax with an income tax "modeled the worst, causing the most job loss and economic distortion."
