Delivered as Promised?
The Washington Policy Center blog questions claims from Democrats in Olympia that things are going swimmingly getting gas tax-funded projects rolling.
Read their full memo on the topic here.

1. Oh, who cares? There's just something so inspiring about paying more for gas than just about any other state in the country. And the prospect of seeing the per-gallon nut go up another ten cents in July must have everyone beaming in Olympia.
The voters of this state are simply dumber than dogshit. Period.
2. Wow---a lot of these are not just behind schedule. They are DRASTICALLY behind schedule.
3. That's what you get when you get one party control of a state for the last 25 years.......it's called NO ACCOUNTABILITY!
Just keep bending over and grabbing your ankles Worshingtonians, the democrats in Olympia will let you know when they're done with you.
4. What a joke. Only recognized one project actually adding lanes of traffic, ie easing congestion. Several are piddly HOV add-ons, which will only confuse traffic, not ease congestion, and add to state coffers when they sell passes to the rich.
Basically what I would expect from this state.
5. It would have been nice if Dave Ammons of AP did a little more digging before whitewashing the issue. Yeah,,,he says Democrats say.............but so what. Where is the beef Dave?
6. If I offend anyone with this...well tough....behind schedule is the moto for Unions and our state is owned by one. :-)
7. With the price of concrete and asphalt going through the roof and many projects estimated to be completed after 2023, you can just rest assured that a good number will never be done.
Of course, the bonds which pay for the projects have already been issued and we'll continue paying interest on them, with or without new roads.
