the "DREAM Act" is very Orwellian-named. Kudos to the writers for preying on the basic ignorance of the American voter.

Given that obesity is the biggest danger of all - why not just make all grocery stores state-owned so they can jack up the prices on all the sugary, processed foods and cola?

BlueLight - no no only bureaucrats in non-government entities are prone to greed & fraud. Government bureaucrats and executives are high-minded, self-righteous people who only have the public's interests at heart. They're a better brand of human.

I don't get this. Republicans haven't controlled the state in decades. it's been 1-party rule since 1984 right? So why is the GOP even mentioned in this article?

No one will do anything because the city & state are broke. But the politicians have to keep bleating "we are doing something" because the voters need to hear it. If only the average voter could put 2 + 2 together...

tommetz - there is nothing left to cut. Services are already operating on bare bones. Police presence is way down I've noticed. Roads are not being repaired. Make the filthy rich pay their fair share as the price for living in our society.

Sin taxes on cigs & junk food are the most regressive taxes of all. The rich can afford to pay them, the poor cannot. If you want to raise some serious cash, and I'm talking billions, do a one-time asset-tax on people like Bill Gates. Say 10%.

It seems the way things are going we will not have a SSO by the end of this year. Sad, but that's the way it is when you don't prioritize correctly.

So I hear the problem is we aren't taxing the wealthy enough. If that's so, where is the urgency in the legislature or Gregoire? Why I'm not hearing a daily drumbeat for SOAK THE RICH????

bjorn - it's a massive failure of the culture that we prefer shiny new toys like useless convention centers to upgrading/repairing existing essential "unsexy" infrastructure like the ones you mentioned. There are examples of failed civilizations in history that did the same things. Do we really want to die as ...
