Must watch the interview with Gov. Inslee. He starts at the 44:15 mark. The following is the text of the letter I am sending to him today.

May 15, 2020 Governor Jay Inslee P.O. Box 40002 Olympia, WA 98504-0002

Governor Inslee:

As the Mayor of the City of Burlington, I have supported your Stay home…Stay safe order from the beginning. As difficult as it has been, it was in the beginning a necessary move. I had trust in your reasons for implementing the order.

But, after watching the interview you did with Bernie Sanders on May 13th, my trust in your motives is gone. Frankly, I was appalled that the Governor of the state would in, a brief moment of unfettered honesty, express your willingness to use this “crisis to peddle a solution to climate change” that will “allow us to rebuild our economy and jump start it” in a more green manner. Your willingness to politically weaponize this terrible disease to further your climate change agenda shows a fundamental lack of leadership. True leaders do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reasons and let the political chips fall where they may.

The citizens of Washington deserve as much….our businesses deserve as much…and the elected leaders that have supported you thus far also deserve as much. You have just called into question every decision you have made during this pandemic up to this point, and future decisions as our economy clings to life. The ability to “rebuild our economy” would require tearing it down first. Many will now question if that is, at this point, your true motive?

I am often asked by business owners, “Why can I not open”, and I am many times at a loss for an explanation. You sir, just provided the answer for the next time I am asked that.

As the Mayor of a Washington State city that is heavily dependent upon sales tax (#1 per capita in the state), facing the sharp reduction in these revenues, I am fighting to keep our city solvent. Your interview suggests that your agenda and mine diverge at this point.

So while you use your power to further your climate change agenda, using this pandemic as a tool to do so…I will use my powers apolitically to do what is right by the citizens and businesses in Burlington. That is what our shared constituents deserve.

I am always available for discussion, Steve Sexton

The Mayor "was appalled that the Governor of the state would in, a brief moment of unfettered honesty, express your willingness to use this 'crisis to peddle a solution to climate change' that will “allow us to rebuild our economy and jump start it” in a more green manner."

Is the Mayor a slow learner?

[hoagy62]

Apparently so.

We need to be rid of this fool of a governor NOW!!

“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” Rahm Emanuel, 2008.

[Still Thinking]

No, but sometimes in a public statement you have to pretend to presume their good intentions.

Insless (sp) retracted the restaurant “Show your papers”, though.

“Insless (sp) retracted the restaurant “Show your papers”, though.”

Yes, but only because it became a very hot potato, and he didn’t want to personally suffer the third degree burns.

[A44MAGNUT]

Yes he did. This man folds like a cheap suit when he feels the heat. Now the push back needs to come on his Nazi contact tracing orders at your door. Some may lose their children with his orders. Nice video about it in the Govs own words.

The Emmanuel brothers are evil bass turds.

Wyatt Earp, said looking down at Johnny Tyler: "I said throw down, boy. You skin that smoke wagon and we'll see what happens."

Johhny Tyler: "Listen mister, I'm gettin' awful tired of your..."

Wyatt slaps him hard, causing him to bleed from his lip.

Wyatt Earp: "Are you gonna do something? Or just stand there and bleed?"

Hey, but it’s progress.

Better late than never.

Throw down old west style...

Wasn't this Inslee among the cast of thousands of Dim idiots running for president, and all he would talk about was climate change? If so, then the China covid stew is exactly what a guy like this wants—kill off all business, keep everyone at home and not driving, and destroy the petroleum industry. They want to turn us into a barely subsistence hunter/gatherer society.

[sheehan]

Jay Inslime endorsed Sleepy Joe on his recent climate change podcast...

he was passed over for leading Senile Joe’s climate change panel for AOC.

what a tool & loser.
we here in WA are screwed.

[A44MAGNUT]

That was this Inslee. Only issue he ran on was climate change. Tom Steyer owns Inslee. When Inslee drew a measly 0% (zero percent) in the polls, he dropped out and Steyer got in.

[beethovenfan]

I’d like to see him throw up on him.

Believe it or not, I’ve been to Burlington more than a few times.

Canadians who cross into Wa state actually go to Burlington to buy brand-name apparel due to the strip malls there which caters to clearance sale hunters. It’s a nice small city.

[Professional]

I live/suffer in Washington State.

The silver lining in all of this? Local liberals are being hit hard by this idiocy. Just like the homeless wave we’ve dealt with...it’s mostly in the very liberal areas. And they hate it...

Inslee is up for election in November....

[DennisR]

Same here, but the local liberals are too stupid to wake up to Asterisk Inslee.
