Spending

Define Temporary

Temporary is an ambiguous word with many meanings. At least in the state of Washington it is.
Lawmakers (love that word) and Rep. Tina Orwall want to push through HB 1977 that will remove the "expiration date" of the temporary taxes imposed in 1995 to build the Mariners Stadium. Don't get me started on the whole tax dollars used for for losers deal. Anyway, Tina wants the tax to be permanent now. Heck it only affects Hotels, Restaurants and Rentals Car so what's the fuss all about.
Well folks if you remember, we voted down the stadium. The people spoke and the Lawmakers didn't listen. Imagine that.
Want to bet Tina gets re-elected again and again. She's a dem from Des Moines and in Des Moines it's OK to be lied to. I think it's requirement.
