Here in Washington state, ********* Gov. Gary Locke is proposing raising the sales tax another 1¢ supposedly in the name of schools. In some parts of Washington like Seattle it will be near 10%. I do agree that education should be a priority but surely there are other ways to accomplish it. His proposition will surely aid Northern Oregon's ailing economy and further strangle the economies of those Southern Washington cities close to Oregon's border since Washingtonians living near the Oregon border will surely want to take advantage of Oregon's lack of sales tax even more. I'm glad that it is something we'll be able to vote on in November and that vote should be a resounding NO! When are those lazy govt. fat cats going to understand that they work for us?!?
