@CorbinSmithNFL Corbin, thank you so much for sharing your story. I’m glad to hear that you are getting the help you need. I know first hand that starting a business is a grind and can take a major toll but I applaud you for taking the initiative to chase, and succeed at following your dream

[Glenn Bowers @glbow]

@RoofTopMariner I disagree. The M’s are making it apparent that this is about leveraging the farm system to be the next Brewers. Unfortunately, Kanzler was responsible for one of the worst, #26, farm system in MLB. You combine that with zero managerial experience and you have a loser.

[Glenn Bowers @glbow]

@Softykjr Time will tell but I’m not a fan of the hire. The Cubs farm system was rated as one of the worst (28th) and this is the guy that was mostly responsible for that

[Glenn Bowers @glbow]

@BuckyJacobsen Bucky I understand your point and could possibly be onboard with it but there’s one major issue. The Cubs farm system is rated #28, almost last place and the guy that the M’s just hired was responsible for a large part of it. To me, it just doesn’t make sense

Vote YES on all three initiatives!
I-645 would repeal the unconstitutional income tax with a threshold that can be lowered by a simply majority vote in the legislature. How can you cut money that doesn't exist until 2029?

[Carrie Hartwig @CarrieMyHart]

I AM SICK OF ALL THESE ADS ON ALL THE LOCAL CHANNELS, TELLING WASHINGTON PEOPLE TO VOTE "NO" ON 3 OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES ON THE BALLOT. THEY ARE TRYING TO TRICK CITIZENS AND HAVE TWISTED THE TRUTH. VOTE YES ... VOTE YES ... VOTE RED VOTE LIKE YOUR CHILDRENS HEALTH AND HAPPINESS DEPENDS ON IT. BECAUSE IT DOES.

@mahrukh2872 Two, the couple. They never said that their sons went on the picnic with them

@AnnieAgar Thank you for not blasting our @Seahawks for Sundays game 😎

[Glenn Bowers @glbow]

@JordanReffett 💯. No discipline on D, way too many stupid penalties, WR’s losing focus and Williams being exposed as an average QB. Oh, and the o line is absolutely atrocious

[Glenn Bowers @glbow]

@JRodFanClub @tsauce7 @tsauce7 is a total class act.

[Glenn Bowers @glbow]

@RyanDivish Dan is a class act. I hate that it went this way. He will always be one of my favorite players

In Washington State, there will be three initiatives on the ballot on November 3rd. None of these are “MAGA” initiatives. That’s just a lazy way for opponents to talk negatively about the initiatives.

What are the initiatives?

I-645 - Repeals the income tax. Our state spending is absolutely out of control. We don’t need an income tax. We need to cut spending.

I-638 - There are biological men and boys competing against girls in sports. That’s wrong. This stops it.

I-001 - Parents rights. Olympia thinks that they know how to parent your kids better than you. Don’t let them.

These three are common sense initiatives that push back against radical policies in Washington. I expect there to be a lot of support for them on both sides of the aisle.

I also expect these to be challenged in court which makes voting for good Supreme Court candidates crucial.

Those are:
Dave Larson
Davis Stevens
Todd Bloom
Scott Edwards
Sean O’Donnell

@chris88rams Love that! Hawks fan since the franchise was founded. I have mad respect for the Rams but feel like they are selling out the future in order to win now and their chances are at best 50/50

WA State Supreme Court disenfranchises the voters and the initiative process ….Again

Warning TLDR

So much going on today… lets start here

The WA Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to overturn and ignore the vote and voice of over 2 million WA state voters who wanted to protect their access to clean natural gas.

Some observations

1) The Supreme Court Ruling today is the third government branch to actively work to prevent voters from having a say in their government by kneecapping the initiative process
-first the AG working for the Executive branch gets to write a convoluted ballot title seemingly designed to confuse voters
-The legislature, in its grand wisdom decided to protect its unhealthy spending habits by forcing a financial impact statement on the ballot itself for each initiative that was designed to always say any initiative proposed will take money away from schools and children
-More nefariously, the legislature proposed multiple bills this session to make it more difficult to collect signatures, make the process more expensive, and intimidate volunteers with a higher standard of record keeping than our own state requires for voting
-Now we get to the WA Supreme court, not for the first time, ruling against the voters — disenfranchsing 2 million voters, over 52% of the voting population who clearly voted to protect their access to natural gas

2) The Supreme court also seems to have done something designed to further put their thumb on the election
- One of the judges making the ruling (Barbara Madsen) retired at the end of March which means this decision was made almost 6 months ago
- The decision was held and was not released until today weeks before ballots drop- why would that be?
-Curiously today also featured a press release by the pro income tax crowd trying to throw shade on our initiative drafting process (we used one of the top attorneys in the state as well as one of the top tax specialists to carefully draft the initiative by the way) claiming the initiative was poorly constructed (hmm why was that release today, the same day the court overturned 2066 the natural gas initiative?
-In a total Koinkidink, the No on 001 crowd also held a press conference this morning to once again claim an initiative was poorly written..,.

3) If i wanted to cause damage to voters who are likely to support the initiatives on the ballot, on of the most devastating weapons i could unleash is to cause those voters to believe that it doesn’t really matter whether they vote or not — it doesn’t really matter whether the initiative wins or not, the Supreme Court will just over turn the will of the people… again….

I am sure all of this just miraculously happened today with no coordination on message whatsoever by the Supreme Court, the Governor, the legislature, the Public Unions, and the vote no campaigns….

Totally happy coincidence…

Push back. Fight back. Vote Yes on all of the Initiatives

The Judges
And when it comes to judges, here are the 6 who voted to disenfranchise you

• Chief Justice Debra L. Stephens (Up for re-election)
• Justice Steven C. González
• Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis (Retiring in Dec. open seat)
• Justice G. Helen Whitener
• Justice Colleen M. Melody (Up for election)
• Justice Barbara A. Madsen, J.P.T. (Retired)

Debra Stephens and Colleen Melody are both up for election on the ballot this year… if i were filling out my ballot and trying to figure out who to vote for, i would start out by not voting for either of those two.

@WillisMirywi @KINGGGE_ You clearly don’t have kids and what it is like being a parent

[Glenn Bowers @glbow]

@brian_t_torres @ClayTravis That’s a very interesting take that I hadn’t considered. However, I still think that it’s a bit different since there are two males & two females competing together. Need to contemplate this one a little bit more. Thanks for sharing

[Glenn Bowers @glbow]

@VandyonTigers Dang John,great saying the unsaid. The only part you left out was about the Dads that all think their kids are sure fire MLB prospects

[Glenn Bowers @glbow]

@bkheywood @TacomaSteveG Nice Brian! We are with you!

[Glenn Bowers @glbow]

@Ghostofcynthia Dang Cynthia, coming strong! I don’t disagree agree with your comments. I just wish we could get beyond the sexuality part and really focus on things that could make our community better
