1. Voters are like, wow these budget cuts are just terrible, we’re going to vote to raise our taxes.

2. A dynamic woman enters the Seattle mayor’s race.

3. The anti-bag tax campaign receives a local contribution.

4. U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott announces his retirement.

5. The Democratic strategy of  tabling union bills and  watering down environmental bills works, Republican voters flock to Democrats.

  2. hbkahn says:

    OK, you got me.

  3. beth says:

  6. state income tax, please says:

    Hey! How about our elected officials float an income tax? We have one of the screwiest tax systems in the country (e.g., right now we have some of the lowest rates of unemployment and foreclosure in the nation, but one of the highest state deficits?) and now we’re paying for it.

    Face it Dem leadership, focusing on the permanent majority for no reason, is just kinda disastrous. It’s time to take advantage of this crisis and do something constructive like reform our broken tax system (as opposed to gutting higher ed, and social services).

    Holy shit! Judy Nicastro just announced that she’s running for mayor on facebook?!

  8. don't tease us like that! says:

    lemme guess, the Dow jumps 1250 points, GM releases a sound strategy to become profitable without declaring bankruptcy and locally, higher education budget cut are proposals are reversed, Puget Sound develops a profitable, funded mass-transit system, everyone agrees on what to do about the viaduct, and we finally get a monorail with our pony.

  9. Trevor says:

    Ah, right. April fools.

    Dems act like Republicans but Republicans will never vote for them anyway. Dems strategy of destroying the state village in order to save it is absurd on its face. Judy pulls a fast one. There is no local organization opposed to bag tax. You’ll have to pry McDermott’s seat from his cold dead hands. Etc.

    I agree with trevor
    You had me until McDermott. No way that man leaves the House of Representatives other than feet first.

  11. Ryan says:
