Washington State's Big Labor Gives Big Hugs to Anthony Murrietta, Kshama Sawant and Others

King County's top Big Labor organization, in effect, the fellow union bosses of Anthony Murrietta, a Federal Way City Council candidate for Position 1, recently gave their endorsements for year 2015 to Murrietta, Kshama Sawant, and others. The powerful political kinsmen (meaning Big Labor, generally) of Murrietta, Sawant, et al. will in all likelihood bankroll their campaigns, as they have already done to a great extent. 

Vote for Mark Greene for Position 1 on the Federal Way City Council!  Thanks!

 Update (3:00 P.M., 5/29/15):

Kshama Sawant's political rise  is one of the most disappointing political stories that the RCP has heard during the "Teens" decade.  At one time the RCP believed that this upstart Seattle political activist who became a Seattle Councilwoman, whom we at first assumed was a little left of center, would be a refreshing change to politics in Washington, but she turned out to be an out-and-out ultra-leftist who, along with FW City Council Candidate Anthony Murrietta and others, has received the backing of Big Labor in Washington, namely, the King County Labor Council.  So if it seems a little odd that her name was included in the title name of yesterday's post of a blog about Federal Way politics, it's only to show how ultra-left on the scale that Big Labor has become, at least in regards to many of the candidates that they are endorsing.

Our Washington State Lieutenant Governor Candidate Blog

There will be a special place to write about the Lieutenant Governor 2016 election, which I'm in, and specifically Washington state issues and matters, generally, even when the election is over.  All of the recent Lieutenant Governor posts on FW Politics  will be carried over to the new blog, Washingtonian.   I am proud to be a natural-born American and a Washingtonian, and I will need your vote to stand up for the Common Man in our state and our nation.   [Originally posted on Washingtonian on April 29, 2016; revised on May 26, 2016.]

With the Press, Again

As long-time readers of my blogs know, my relationship with the media has been acrimonious at times, though I realize, of course, that the press is an essential part of politics and democracy in our nation, and of course the relationship between politicians and the press is going to be often disharmonious because they have distinctly different interests.  That doesn't mean that one or both sides cannot be at fault at varying times, and both sides often are. So with all that in mind, my first thought today is, though I am sure that the H-1B system for hiring temporary foreign workers has been widely abused, there is a big distinction between that system and the system for permanent residents being in the job market.  In the interest of my views being as publicly accurate as possible, I'll say this: I more or less support the law that infers that official permanent residents should be treated...
