This is what happens in a single party government. Anything and everything will be taxed, even your kid's pool noodles!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We need another bureaucracy for that!

[dangus]

Row boats? Paddle boats? Seriously?

[jimtorr]

Even an inner tube at the lake could be classed as a “human powered vessel”.

[GunHoardingCapitalist]

I see no problem with this, this (in politician speak) is just “common sense boating laws”

[Lockbox]

What’s the matter Libs? Don’t you like living in the peoples Republic of Washington state? After all it’s for the children..........

“This is what happens in a single party government. Anything and everything will be taxed, even your kid’s pool noodles!”

You know it, and I’m laughing at them. I want them to get every bit of what they voted for, good and hard.

[llevrok]

We need another bureaucracy for that!

If you have to show that you have completed a water safety course, that means there needs to be certified trainers and water safety police.

That means a whole new state department added to an exsisting one.

[PGR88]

It took decades, but eventually, everyone in the Soviet Union hated the government, even the communists.

I wonder how long it will take in the USA?

[americas.best.days...]

Its hard to think of a single word or concept that has done more damage to the American psyche in the last thirty years than *safe*.

[DoughtyOne]

We're from the government, and we're here to help.

[dsc]

Just another tax. There will be no increment in safety.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Skateboards, ice and roller skates are next in line—"I'm arresting you for unlicensed and unauthorized use of a skateboard, and failure to display proper tax and inspection stamp …"

[Red Badger]

Embrace the suck Washingtonians! you voted for it!...............

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

To be safe they should lower the speed limit to 25 MPH.

[Red Badger]

Stupid should hurt..............

[circlecity]

Man, is there ANY aspect of our lives that Dems don’t want to regulate and tax?

[dsc]

“That means a whole new state department added to an existing one.”

Don’t worry, they’ll all be affirmative action hires, so “social justice” will be served.

[circlecity]

“Even an inner tube at the lake could be classed as a “human powered vessel”.”

Even a surf board.

[blueunicorn6]

This will keep those lowlifes from paddling by Bill Gates mansion!
