Looks like the reason that many passes in Washington State were closed last weekend is NOT just because of record snowfall! The fallout from Governor Jay Inslee's firing of hundreds of State workers for refusing to take the Covid shots is now being felt across the state, and the country, as there are not enough people to clear major East-West passes and Inslee continues to play politics rather than look for solutions!

It may be too close to my bed time. The article read more to me like.. the state union employees are getting paid to stay home because the county did *not* enforce a mandate.
As a leader i file this one under the 25% of any team that will use any reason to stay home and get paid, instead of doing their job. It used to be 10%.

Maybe Eastern Washington could get permanently blocked!

OK, how to block the passes in the Summer?

Buttajug is in complete agreement.

Thanks for posting. Everyone is blaming Covid. You'd think an above-board entity would take the high road and admit the truth. Taking the high road is fairly nonexistent these days. I am being niave.

Do they have a version of this in English?

I’m sure there are locals willing to pick up the slack.

I refuse to insult pond scum by calling Inslee pond scum.

Quit sending tax revenue to the state.

They all use the same excuse. We fired hundreds of staff, but it has nothing to do with snow covered roads, overwhelmed hospitals ,etc.

[curious7]

Does this mean the state also doesn’t want their tax monies? After all, an ‘unvaxxed’ peon might have handled the computer sending the EFT.

every single Dem official, and news station has denied that staffing had anything to do with the “Act of Nature”
In fact the Wa State DOT claimed Staffing is higher now than it was before people voluntarily separated from their positions a few months ago.

[stratboy]

Sounds like that county residents have a case for not paying state income tax.

[unlearner]

Something about this reminds me of the Boston Tea Party. Something about taxation and representation. Maybe it’s just me.
