Democrat Steve Stuart in full moron mode.

Steve Stuart is, to the dismay of many, a county commissioner around here.  And that's really a shame.

He's tried everything he can to shaft us: he tried to ram a ballpark we didn't need or want down our throats... without asking us.

He was re-elected on a lie; specifically, that we would all be allowed to vote on loot rail in November, 2011.

And now, garbage like this:

State lawmakers approved tolling, and Stuart explains concerns brought up by Commissioner Marc Boldt, the chairman of the board. Boldt ultimately directed the county's lobbyist to testify to those concerns.

For years, a group of CRC critics have been attending county commissioner meetings, city council meetings and other meetings, where the people in charge had no authority over tolls, to voice opposition to tolls. For years, Stuart and other local elected officials have been telling them, "Look to Olympia."

Then, when the subject finally came up, not a single one of the regulars bothered to go to Olympia.

"If they cared that much about tolls, then why aren't they up in Olympia fighting them?" Stuart said. He called it "disappointing."

Garbage in, garbage out?

This hearing, held during a business day DURING THE WEEK, included babble from someone this county PAYS TO BE UP THERE.

Even though Stuart and Boldt KNOWS that a large number of citizens they govern oppose this project, oppose loot rail and oppose tolls, did they present that perspective?

Of course not.  It's as if that opposition didn't exist.

Why weren't we up in Olympia fighting them, you idiot?

It's because WE HAVE JOBS.  WE HAVE TO WORK.

Have that committee come down HERE for the hearing.  You know damned well there would be a quite different outcome.

So, I've got to tell you: what's "disappointing" is how much you lie, and how little you give a damn what anyone but the special interests who own you think or care... not to mention your great idea to enslave 65,000 commuters with life-long tolls.

The fact is this: you DO have the power, and HAD it a LONG time ago... you just made a deliberate choice to LIE about it.  It's like Boldt's idiotic vote to take our guns away from us in the event you cl;owns decide to declare an "emergency."  No one FORCED you morons to implement such an ordinance; the fact that the legislature gave you the obviously unconstitutional authority to do so doesn't mean you can... or should.

YOU, YOU, PERSONALLY can kill tolls, Stuart, and you damned well know it.

Exercise that fricking "block veto" that Leave-it is so fond of, on every single vote until tolls are off the table.  And if this crap pile doesn't get built as a result?

Than so much the better, you arrogant ass.
