The SEIU owns WA state, it will never happen, here. Gregoire and the legislature just proceeded to pass part of Obamacare that wasn’t required until 2014, last week, in spite of the fact that our state attorney general was part of the Florida law suit against it.
The left will bankrupt the state before they give in. The latest assault is pushing freight trains, carrying coal to ship to China that will provide a few longshoremen jobs, but destroy countless other jobs and businesses along the water front as they are cut off from their clients and customers by the trains. The trains also run along the coast near the nicest and most expensive view homes in the county. The trains are being pushed by the same people who pushed the Obamacare, the SEIU.
Irregardless of their political power, they can't fight arithmetic. The pensions and retiree health benefits the state has promised are simply unaffordable. 4-5 years down the line, the payouts will be so high that the state won't be able to pay them, and there's nothing the SEIU can do about that.

That's fine, because it's coming, and we're only a few years away.
