Yep... while this is a horrible IDEA.... the only constitutional question is can public moneys be directed to political campaigns... apparently the Washington Supreme Court says it can.
I don’t understand that, but then again, I don’t understand WA state either...
I don’t understand WA state either...
To me, it does not seem hard to understand and can be summed up in a sentence. The dominant culture in Seattle is nuts, and both through influencing the weak-minded outside of Seattle and by politically dominating the state, they make life miserable for people living in relatively sane cultural enclaves outside of Seattle.
This seems simple, straight-forward, and self evident. Of course, I grew up sort of next door in rural Oregon, and if you substitute “Portland and Eugene” for Seattle, the sentence would apply to Oregon. I suspect that there are a large number of political entities of State/Provincial size that one merely need sub in the name of the largest one or two cities and the sentence becomes true.
