Congrats @VoteBaumgartner!

[Michael Baumgartner for WA-5 @VoteBaumgartner]

Bob Ferguson is soft on crime, weak on homelessness and foolish on drug use. Spokane County voters should automatically reject any candidate he endorses for County Prosecutor - particularly one running as a fake “independent.” This November vote Preston McCollam. 🇺🇸

Ferguson's new spokesperson for the income tax announced.
She's very convincing.

[The Center Square Washington @TCSWashington]

Supporters of repealing Washington’s income tax are urging voters to understand what a “yes” vote means before heading to the polls.

@mayorbrownfang @danielwreporter Daniel and I were having a pleasant conversation about why Range Media sucks.

[John Estey @JohnEstey]

@danielwreporter “we have ethical codes too: and one of them is, don’t donate to a political party we’re covering. Among other issues”

Your editor is cool with designing mail pieces for the left and citing Range articles? Let’s stop pretending like you guys have any standards.

[John Estey @JohnEstey]

@danielwreporter @MichaelBRSIO I suppose I just miss all the times when you all hold right leaning orgs, candidates, and elected officials to “account” with some sort of qualifying statement explaining why it was appropriate to report on them.

[John Estey @JohnEstey]

@danielwreporter @MichaelBRSIO One of my favorite Range articles is when you all put a qualifying statement on your reporting on Latinos en Spokane. It’s either news or it isn’t. Whether you’re reporting on the left or right. But I supose your unbiased editors will qualify your unbiased reporting on the GOP.

[John Estey @JohnEstey]

@MichaelBRSIO @danielwreporter Couldn’t be Range Media! They are so unbiased!

[John Estey @JohnEstey]

@danielwreporter @MichaelBRSIO In your article, you claim that Range has standards. I didn’t say that. You did. I have no problem with your reporting. I’m just simply stating we don’t have to lie to everyone by trying to say Range has some partisan standards where you draw lines. You obviously don’t.

[John Estey @JohnEstey]

@danielwreporter @MichaelBRSIO The editor nonetheless….

[John Estey @JohnEstey]

@danielwreporter @MichaelBRSIO I don’t know what vague about your colleagues designing mail pieces for the left? And citing articles your/their publication writes. Even I know you think that is beneath whatever journalistic standards Range subscribes to

[John Estey @JohnEstey]

@danielwreporter @MichaelBRSIO I wasn’t referring to you. Unless your wife writes articles (which I’m not aware of), I don’t know how you all could cite each others articles.

[John Estey @JohnEstey]

@danielwreporter @MichaelBRSIO I’ll take a DW tactic, deflect, and not address the issue being called out.

@MichaelBRSIO the left wing reporters in town are so cozy they’ll date each other, cite each others articles, and won’t outline their obvious conflict of interest.

[John Estey @JohnEstey]

@danielwreporter @MichaelBRSIO He could have paid half price. But that would required him to admit he’s Republican. And hell would have to freeze over before a Range reporter did that. They’d rather design mail pieces for the left and claim their some objective news source.

[John Estey @JohnEstey]

@danielwreporter I guess holding others “accountable” but not yourselfs is good for the brand.

Let’s just stop pretending like you guys subscribe to some moral objective high ground. You don’t.

#BreakingNews: Four Eastern Washington sheriffs sue to block Ferguson’s unelected sheriff removal board https://t.co/ovTBVbc0qh

[Brian Heywood - That Damn Mormon @bkheywood]

Its official, we have filed

An Emergency Petition for a Writ of Mandamus
AND
An Emergency Petition for Accelerated Review

To require the SOS to accept our referendum on the unconstitutional income tax just passed.

Unlike the Unconstitutional Income tax that does not go into effect for 2 plus years, the referendum clock is ticking and actually is an immediate need for review and action.

Simple explanation of what a mandamus is in the comments

[Let's Go Washington @letsgowa]

Governor Ferguson ignored the constitution and the will of the people by signing the income tax into law. Before the law was even an hour old, we started to take action for you. See our statement here.
