View the original

Brad Shannon at our sister newspaper, The Olympian, has this item that is particularly germane these days.

The Washington Education Association (aka W.E.A.) is part of the unions and other alphabet soup working out in the burbs to see whether voters would buy into a tax increase this year, and these ads appear to be part of the softening up process. Schools are, after all, warmer and fuzzier that pay raises for state agency workers.

(I should note, it's not at all uncommon for the WEA to be running ads during any legislative session.)

Shannon's item is here.

I'll try to get more on this and other topics after House Speaker Frank Chopp meets with reporters at 2 p.
