Re: “Sending out an SOS for WA’s ferries” [Dec. 21, Opinion]:
With all due respect to the proficient and astute cartoonist David Horsey, I used to be stunned to see lack of assist from Japanese Washington as the primary cause he listed in his column for our state’s antiquated ferry fleet. Not that he was itemizing the explanations so as of significance, however the adage about with the ability to see all of the votes it’s essential to win an election in Washington from the Area Needle is from the identical period as our ferry fleet.
Whereas passing a price range will not be successful an election, the purpose stays that political energy in our state sits on the shores of Puget Sound, a brief drive from the ferry docks. If it had been me, I may need talked about complacency from 4 a long time of single-party management earlier than I discussed Japanese Washington as a cause our ferry system is in disaster. I imply, actually, Gov. Jay Inslee’s house is on an island.
