... A spokeswoman on Friday said the office is "shooting for the end of the year" for the announcement,...

We'll be shooting back.

Sorry folks, this stinks to high heaven! I often wonder what men like Washington, Jefferson, Franklin & others who were there in the beginning would say about things like this. Also..... so it's ok to track and tax the citizens this way, but it's not ok to spy on certain individuals (who may or may not be American citizens) with possible terrorist connections? People who may desire another 9/11? I wish we could send 90% of our "elected leaders" packing and replace them with average citizens. THAT would be a worthwhile revolution.

Just wait until they make gps mandatory for bicycles for the purpose of bike tax then track humans for foot tax.

"replace them with average citizens. THAT would be a worthwhile revolution."

As long as liberals and environmentalists are excluded I agree!

Ah...another "Just Say NO" opportunity in Washington State ;)

What kind of communists are sitting in positions of power?

Currently, they're called Republicans. Blackbird.

The only Real Republican in the bunch in Greg Walden!

While I'm sure you are correct in the names you named, you should realize this is all being fed from the Federal Government, with Federal Tax monies, or so the article states. Sorry, but the Republican Party holds the reigns of power at the National level. None of this could be possible without their guidance. Also, in case you believe this won't take hold in the majority of States, that coincidently are Republican governed, let me shake you of that notion. It will. Blackbird.

How about my favorite: "We only want to ban smoking on domestic airplane flights of under two hours."

That is where they started..........

then track humans for foot tax?

They already done this at boeing, taxing how many people walked across a street from a parking lot to the jobs they were going to.
