At their May meeting, directors approved a resolution to adjust the agency's ambitious system expansion program amid a $34.5 billion fiscal shortfall.

Rob McKenna’s tall tales can’t change Washington’s fiscal reality: Apples-to-apples metrics show falling investment in state services
A May 24th KIRO commentary by Seattle's Morning News host Charlie Harger that’s built around former Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna’s soundbites refuses to accept a basic requirement of rigorous fiscal analysis: raw-dollar budget comparisons across eras always yield invalid conclusions because they start with bad inputs.

Tales of Militant Chemistry connects film, war, labor, radiation, and industrial power in ways that feel impossible to unsee once you do.

Republican voters vanquish more of Donald Trump’s marks in Kentucky, Georgia primaries
Thomas Massie and Brad Raffensperger are the latest Republicans to lose in Republican primaries after being targeted by Donald Trump for defeat.

Washington State’s budget has been shrinking, not growing, despite statements to the contrary by former elected officials
Former elected officials like Governor Chris Gregoire, radio personalities like Charlie Harger, and editorial writers at The Seattle Times continue to irresponsibly compare the state budget between eras using absolute dollars, which doesn't allow for a proper apples-to-apples examination. In relative terms — the only terms worth using for comparisons — the state budget has gotten smaller, even with recent tax and fee increases adopted by the people's elected representatives.
